Features:
Appstack and Perfstack Dashboard Differentiators
The AppStack and PerfStack dashboards work together help to pinpoint and correlate application and system performance bottlenecks. The AppStack dashboard dynamically links applications and its dependent infrastructure highlighting node status. The PerfStack dashboard expands upon AppStack by allowing you to drag, drop, chart, and correlate these application and infrastructure nodes in a single timeline. Using a timeline slider, you can go back in time to identify patterns and help define what’s normal. Networking nodes can also be added for performance analysis while using the PerfStack dashboard.

Server & Application Monitor
Automatic application discovery and server monitoring.
Download, install, automatically discover your environment, and start monitoring in about an hour with help from SAM's simple server monitoring tool. No professional services required.
Quickly monitor the performance and availability of Microsoft Azure and Amazon AWS services.
Monitor the IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS services for Amazon Web Serices (AWS) and Microsoft Azure. Provide end-to-end systems performance and application monitoring using agent and agentless-based technologies for application, systems, and service metrics.
Built-in templates provide best practices.
Systems and application performance monitoring and troubleshooting templates for 1,200+ supported applications, systems, and infrastructure such as:
- Get more in-depth application monitoring with AppInsight™ dashboards for Active Directory, Exchange, Microsoft IIS, and SQL Server.
