dynaTrace provides "Business Transaction Monitoring" (BTM) for mission-critical Java/.NET applications enabling

• Business people to understand how well an application's performance is supporting their business goals
• Operations personnel to quickly assess the impact of performance problems
• IT to accurately provision application usage – even in virtualized environments – back to their clients based on their actual resource consumption (e.g. CPU cycles/MSUs)

Customizable dashboards allow you to quickly assess the usage, revenue contribution, response times, resource consumption and service-level fulfilment of certain business transactions (e.g., search, add to basket, checkout, etc.) over time – without knowing their underlying Java or .Net technology. Advanced grouping and filtering functions applied to PurePath data provide a very flexible definition of what constitutes a business transaction, enabling you to easily assign them to certain users and clients although they share the same underlying application infrastructure. This allows you to quickly assess business impact of performance issues with business transactions not just based on transaction type, but also based on client characteristics.

However, dynaTrace not only provides business transaction monitoring, but also allows you to actively manage them by:

• Ensuring transaction performance through proactive performance management – specifically during development and test
• Reducing the mean-time-to repair of performance problems in business transactions by 90%

Strategically implement Java/.NET application performance management within your development process, find hidden performance regression issues at component-level during testing, and uncover performance issues dozing deep inside the application early on during development to avoid performance issues popping up in production during peak usage of business critical application transactions

If a problem such as a service-level violation resulting in decreasing bookings finally slips through and needs to be resolved quickly, the PurePath of the affected business transaction is stored automatically for offline root-cause analysis enabling engineers to accelerate issue resolution by 10x. Thus, dynaTrace not only enables you to see whether your service levels for your business critical transactions are being met, but also to ensure that your service levels, in fact, are met.
