Riverbed's Digital Experience Management (APM/NPM)

Riverbed's APM tool incorporates artificial intelligence into APM big data to effectively serve the dynamics of containers and microservices, giving their clients all the data they need to solve complex application performance problems. Their NPM solution also integrates with their application performance monitoring solution and end-user experience to help clients understand how their network performance impacts their business. AppDynamics' APM tool has deep, automatic, code-level diagnostic capabilities that help to identify the root causes down to the individual line of code while their network visibility tool helps their customers to monitor the health of their network by automatically discovering applications and network topologies and interdependencies.

RIVERBED'S DIGITAL MANAGEMENT EXPERIENCE

  • Riverbed is an American information technology company that offers hardware and software products that help their clients boost their digital performance.
  • Their Digital Perfomance Platform helps their clients to "transform the way customers run the powerful network- and cloud-based apps that connect people, businesses, and experiences in our digital world"

OVERVIEW OF RIVERBED'S APPLICATION MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE

  • According to Riverbed, traditional Application Management tools cannot effectively identify and resolve performance problems in modern application environments.
  • That's why the Riverbed Application Perfomance Management tool merges end-user experience with APM to focus on what matters most to the client.
  • Their APM tool incorporates artificial intelligence into APM big data to effectively serve the dynamics of containers and microservices, giving their clients all the data they need to solve complex application performance problems.
  • The Riverbed APM tool captures "every transaction from every user and every device" to help their customers identify the root cause of the application performance issues and fix them.

APPDYNAMICS

dynatrace

  • Dynatrace's APM tool employs artificial intelligence to analyze a number of dependencies and help customers to identify the problem, its impact to the business and its root cause.
  • Dynatrace's APM tool can perform automatic discovery, mapping, and monitoring of every component of the stack.
  • Their tool also has a broad coverage "of any monitoring solution, including languages supported, application architectures, cloud, on-premise or hybrid, enterprise apps, SaaS monitoring, and more.
  • According to Dynatrace, their Network Performa Monitoring tool gives their customers insights into the performance and quality of all network processes in their environments.
  • The NPM tool also help customers to understand "which of their services and processes suffer from network connection problems and enable your DevOps to improve the connections between vital infrastructure components."
  • Dynatrace's NPM tool gives their customers a comprehensive overview of their virtualized network infrastructure, making them aware of the status of their VMs, ESXi hosts, and cloud instances.

new relic

  • New Relic has a single cloud-based screen that helps their clients automatic instrumentation in the seven programming languages offering them insights into any application environment.
  • New Relic's APM tool has in-depth transaction details that help their clients to find and fix application problems speedily.
  • The tool has a distributed tracing that "lets you trace the path of a single request from end-to-end in a complex system. You can track the entire chain through every service and dependency, all the way through to the database, and know which step in the path is creating a bottleneck or causing an error."
  • New Relic has a Network Performance Monitoring tool, called Infrastructure, that combines with their APN solution to give customers a comprehensive view of the health and performance of their networks, servers, applications, and services.
  • According to New Relic, their "dynamic infrastructure and sever monitoring platform" helps customers to monitor and manage the health of their tools in real time.

  • "Point tools that use only SNMP polling, flow, or packet capture do not provide the breadth and depth needed to diagnose complex problems. Riverbed’s network performance monitoring (NPM) solution integrates these capabilities so that you gain an enterprise network view of performance in hybrid cloud environments. It also integrates with end-user experience and application performance monitoring so that you can understand the impact of network performance on critical business initiatives."
  • "Using Riverbed’s NPM solution, you remove performance blind spots so you can determine what’s causing your cloud problems, reduce latency in critical business initiatives, and identify the application and network issues that are driving cloud costs."
  • " Using Riverbed’s NPM solution you can analyze the full application stack from packets to pages in real time and pivot/drill down from flows to packet analysis in hybrid environments. "
  • "Riverbed’s NPM solution helps you identify abnormal changes as soon as they occur using automated discovery and dependency mapping, real-time analytics and baselining, and a unified console for network and application performance monitoring. Unlike other NPM solutions, you can view all transactions at once to reveal patterns that are typically hidden by traditional charts that “average out” spikes."
  • "By visualizing performance trends across your network and applications, you can automatically diagnose network and application performance bottlenecks, validate network readiness by conducting “what if” analysis, and even understand the impact of WAN optimization prior to deployment"

  • "AppDynamics provides a significant amount of detail to solve performance problems by using APM Tools and an analytics-driven approach. The agents are extremely intelligent and know when to capture important details and when to simple collect the basics, and this is for every transaction."
  • "Our Application Performance Management solution baselines, monitors and reports on the performance of all transactions that flow through your app. Our APM solution was built for production environments, which provides an agile approach when it comes to capturing the details of transactions. Automatically determine normal performance and stop false alarms with dynamic baselining for end-to-end response time"
  • "We score all of the transactions by doing a comparison of the self-learned baseline to the actual response time. When we determine that a Business Transaction has gone too far from its normal behavior, our agent can automatically collect full call stack details in order to troubleshooting the issue. This smart-analytics method enables AppDynamics to find and alert problems from the very beginning, so that they can be fixed before any major impact occurs."
  • " We have a feature that enables full system-wide data recording. Developer mode is ideal for pre-production environments and every single request will be captured through a transaction snapshot. Also, it will shut down automatically when it is accidently left on, so that your system won't stall if transaction volume rises."
