A decade ago, the Application Performance Management (APM) market was a dusty corner of enterprise IT, focusing on keeping creaky enterprise apps up and running.
Today, the world has changed. Applications have changed. Enterprise IT is undergoing rapid reinvention. As a result, APM is now at the crux of the digital transformation trend. 
And squarely in the center of this firestorm is San Francisco-based AppDynamics.
Modern applications consist of a mélange of interconnected elements, from the front end to the cloud to the enterprise back end. This modern definition of the application as well as the full power of today’s big data analytics combine to underscore the true significance of AppDynamics’ application analytics capabilities.
In 2015, AppDynamics is integrating synthetic user monitoring (SUM) with their application intelligence platform, enabling customers to have a complete suite of web performance testing capabilities. SUM depends upon running test software that simulates real user behavior across the Internet.
With traditional SUM, therefore, vendors must deploy hardware in data centers around the world to give users the ability to do synthetic local tests – an expensive proposition for the vendors, and a cost they must pass along to their customers.
