AppDynamics, the maker of cloud-friendly application performance monitoring (APM) software, has released a free version of its software that will let users see and analyze application performance across the servers used by the application.

CEO Jyoti Bansal said that the aim is to allow "code-level review" of performance problems and adds that his free version basically offers all of the functionality seen in current APM software on the market, which is dominated by the likes of BMC and CA.

"They aren't going to be very happy about this," he said.

Spokesman Dan Spalding said by email that they've already had several hundred downloads, including competitors like dynaTrace, Compuware and CA, all who need to assess the threat for themselves.
