What is the purpose of application performance monitoring?

APM ensures high performance for your software. Constant monitoring of your system allows you to manage the performance and availability of software applications. This leads to quick response times, improved computing processes and satisfied customers. Especially digital end user experience is one of the main goals when dealing with real user interactions and business transactions. The Dynatrace application performance monitoring tool saves the effort of interpreting such dependent events on your own and directs you to the component that might cause performance issues or problems for your customers. Fixing, accelerating, and optimizing your servers and software applications has never been so easy.

Measure application performance to better understand customer experience

Application performance monitoring allows you to receive full-stack observation and alerting at any time. Monitoring your entire IT infrastructure is a major aspect for finding problems at code, application, service or host level. This helps to understand customers better, allows to run applications at their maximum of performance, and leads to quick findings regarding potential problems. Automatic discovery and configuration makes it possible to easily isolate bottlenecks with low amounts of workforce.
