SmartBear Software has integrated the AppDynamics Application Intelligence Platform with the company’s AlertSite UXM Performance Monitoring Platform, allowing development and operations teams to quickly detect ‘customer experience’ degradations and errors, and trace the root cause of these problems to the exact segment of the application’s code.
AlertSite provides proactive monitoring of APIs, Web and SaaS applications and mobile apps by running monitors from SmartBear’s global network of nodes or at a customer deployed private node. These monitors are performance tests depicting typical customer interactions and check for availability, functional correctness and responsiveness. These tests can also be run for SLA monitoring and benchmarking. As these tests are run continuously, AlertSite UXM allows IT operations teams to detect degradations and errors proactively before end users encounter a problem.
In order to correlate errors and degradations with application back end tiers and rapidly troubleshoot code level issues, SmartBear has integrated AppDynamics Application Intelligence Platform into AlertSite UXM. The AppDynamics Application Intelligence Platform collects data related to the code path a transaction takes from the application server all the way to the back end databases. Customers of both products are now able to drill down from an AlertSite transaction, directly into the related AppDynamics trace at the code level.
“In order to identify the root cause of performance issues that are in the application code, it is necessary to have visibility into the entire structure of the application and all the components that make up the back end tiers, since the root cause of an issue could be anywhere,” said Anand Sundaram VP of Products, AlertSite UXM. “This can be complicated and costly in terms of money, time, resources and lost business. Many of the tools used provide good information but only shed light into a piece of the larger puzzle. The integration of AppDynamics with AlertSite UXM is the perfect marriage, allowing customers to easily detect and correlate issues in the application code, thereby reducing MTTR.”
“We are thrilled to team with SmartBear to offer our customers a seamless solution that ties in a best-in-class synthetic monitoring solution closely with our industry leading platform to provide application level root cause visibility,” said Matthew Polly, VP of Worldwide Alliances at AppDynamics. “This complementary combination of SmartBear’s AlertSite UXM and AppDynamics means that our customers can get alerted to performance issues quickly and can fix them before end users even detect a problem.”
It is free to register for AlertSite UXM, giving anyone with an API, Web or mobile application, the capability they need to make sure that their critical transactions are available, working correctly and not frustrating their users.

Cloud migration was supposed to be a one-way door. For most enterprises, it turns out it isn't. Cloud data repatriation is a real and growing trend. A new survey ... finds that 89% of organizations plan to expand their on-premises infrastructure footprint over the next two years — and 75% have already moved at least some workloads back from public cloud in the past 24 months. The findings point to a broad rethinking of where data belongs ...
Over the past few years, large language models (LLMs) have revolutionized the software industry. Given their ability to excel at multi-step reasoning, LLMs have helped enterprises streamline workflows and adapt to the unknown. However, employing such models comes with sky-high costs, latency issues, and limited flexibility. In the realm of IT operations, it is generally wiser to employ smaller, domain-specific models instead ...
For years, DevOps teams operated under a simple assumption: collect enough telemetry, and you can find and fix any problem. That assumption is breaking down. Modern enterprises now operate across microservices, hybrid cloud environments, APIs, Kubernetes, and highly automated delivery pipelines. Releases happen continuously, dependencies shift constantly, and failures spread faster than teams can diagnose them ...
New Relic surveyed IT and engineering leaders from the media and entertainment (M&E) sector to understand what's working — and where challenges persist with their observability practices. The findings reveal how M&E organizations are navigating rising platform complexity, audience expectations, and AI-driven change. Below are five takeaways that stand out ...
Let me start with something I've seen play out more times than I can count. A team hits a wall with the cloud. Costs creep up, then spike. Performance starts to feel inconsistent. Someone in finance asks a simple question like "why did this double?" and nobody has a clean answer ... Maybe this isn't the right place for everything. That realization feels like a breakthrough, like you've identified the problem. In reality, you've just identified the starting line ...

In cloud-native systems, scaling is often as simple as moving a slider. For on-premise databases, the stakes are different. Over-provisioning hardware is expensive. Under-provisioning leads to performance bottlenecks that are difficult to fix once the equipment is in the rack ...
When most people think about cybersecurity, they picture firewalls, encryption, and access controls — technical tools designed to protect systems and data. But beneath the technology lies a deeper set of principles about trust, decision-making, and resilience ... The best leaders don't eliminate risk. They manage it intelligently. And in many ways, cybersecurity offers a surprisingly useful playbook for doing exactly that ...
Many organizations assumed their infrastructure strategy was settled. It had been implemented, optimized and built into long-term plans. Recent changes in technology and vendor consolidation are forcing a second look. Cloud outages and licensing changes have exposed how much dependency exists on a small number of platforms. As a result, organizations are reevaluating whether those decisions still hold up under current conditions ...
