Butler Group’s Technology Audit cites dynaTrace coverage of all APM requirements, but highlights end-to-end transaction tracing as “most critical”
Boston – 27 August 2009 – dynaTrace software, the innovator and emerging leader in application performance management, is the subject of a technology audit report by leading analyst firm Butler Group which found that “dynaTrace’s approach to APM is holistic and of great breadth and depth; the solution takes performance management deeper into the application lifecycle and tries to isolate issues within the development and testing phases themselves, before these surface as bottlenecks in production environments.”
In particular, Butler highlighted dynaTrace’s ability to trace individual transactions across tiers and technologies at low overhead. “In Butler Group’s opinion, APM can usefully encompass application performance monitoring and optimisation, fault management, deployment testing, and scenario modeling,” the report stated. “dynaTrace Continuous APM covers all of these areas of requirements, and lays special emphasis on the most critical: end-to-end transaction tracing.”
Such transaction tracing is made possible by dynaTrace’s patent-pending PurePath technology, which goes far deeper than traditional APM samples, averages, and correlations. “dynaTrace PurePath technology employs different servers for transaction data collection and analysis, and is thus able to monitor individual transactions round the clock with minimal production overheads,” according to the report. “This approach is distinct from aggregated application-level metrics tracking, which is more commonly used by competitors, and delivers a highly significant and valuable benefit in that developers do not have to recreate a runtime problem in their own test environments before undertaking diagnosis and root cause identification – all relevant metrics from the actual runtime incident are stored with the PurePath (i.e., the trace instance from each transaction processed).”
The report not only focused on the technology, however, but on the corporate growth of dynaTrace itself. “…Butler Group is impressed with the relative ease with which dynaTrace has created a significant space for itself in this market,” the report stated. “This is also reflected in the consistent three-digit percentage growth in revenues and numbers of customers achieved by dynaTrace.”
The report concluded: “While the company is young, its growth is not baseless and is founded on a very competent, advanced, and enterprise-strength offering. dynaTrace’s solution has been tested in real-world scenarios, having been deployed by many organisations whose business depends on 24x7 application availability and optimal performance, as well as by globally distributed organisations. Butler Group is of the view that dynaTrace’s solution should be strongly considered by all organisations with such needs, the numbers of which will increase as the performance of externally facing applications, and also those used internally, becomes a greater factor in assuring business success.”
