"Application Intelligence monitors these applications in real time to extract intelligence and solve the business and operational glitches, to run a more effective and profitable business. Visibility into every corner of the application infrastructure, and dynamic, automatic baselining of performance to instantly recognize what's normal and what's not, enables IT to anticipate and avoid these glitches altogether."For instance, it is imperative for a bank's online banking website or mobile application to work flawlessly and not cause trouble for customers who depend on it. AppDynamics' Application Intelligence platform provides the tools to prevent app performance issues and maintain a satisfactory user experience. The platform allows the businesses to pinpoint, troubleshoot, and very quickly resolve any issues, which, without such sophisticated intelligence, could take days or weeks to process. "We provide proactive data for application developers, and business and IT operations professionals, to build and run better applications for better business and IT performance," Bansal said. "It also helps developers to use the data to fuel and fix things aggressively." This approach has helped AppDynamics become one of the fastest-growing enterprise software companies in the world.The Journey to a Digital TransformationBansal founded AppDynamics in 2008 with his vision of "Application Intelligence" to help modern businesses embark on their journey of digital transformation, with a disruptive approach to managing their software-defined business. In order to achieve this mission, Bansal had to build a product that is powerful enough to solve the most complex problems facing modern applications today and in the future. He also needed to make sure that the product created a user experience to rival the best consumer software applications, and needed to power it with a disruptive sales model. For Bansal, accomplishing this would mean that AppDynamics needed to build and deliver a solution that revolutionizes the way modern organizations go about their business. In the following years, he built a platform that provides the ability to instrument every line of code of an in-production application, no matter where that code is running -- on the client side in a browsers, in native iOS or Android apps, or other platforms, and on databases like Oracle, Apache Cassandra, and MySQL. "Every time a user clicks from either the smartphone or the browser, tens of millions of lines of code are executed either on the client or in the servers, running in the cloud or in databases," Bansal says. "We are watching each one of those lines, extracting the business and execution data, and bringing that to a central platform all in real-time." The data can be visually analyzed and impediments to optimal application performance are zeroed in on quickly, and fixed promptly. The AppDynamics Application Intelligence platform consists of three main solution areas. The first, Application Performance Management, provides very deep visibility into the performance of applications. It enables IT operations teams to trace transactions in complex and distributed applications, monitor the stack, and understand the interaction between mobile apps and the server-side. The second, Real-User Monitoring, complements the first module by keeping an eye on the user experience on the browser and on mobile, tracking where the user is coming from geographically, and keeping a record of their behaviors. This helps AppDynamics provide visibility about the user base and their experience to the client.We provide proactive data for application developers, and business and IT operations professionals, to run better applications
