Dynatrace and Microsoft Application Insights

Enterprise class application performance monitoring for Microsoft Azure

Develop with Application Insights

Microsoft Application Insights provides rich performance monitoring, powerful alerting, and easy-to-consume dashboards. It helps developers diagnose problems and understand how their app is performing from within the Visual Studio IDE. Out-of-the-box integrations with Visual Studio Team Services or GitHub gives developers the power to perfect quality and performance of their software early on.
