Frequently asked questions
Cisco is investing in observability as a key pillar of its product strategy. AppDynamics is a critical part of our business.
We’re prioritizing a unified, streamlined experience across the portfolio of AppDynamics and Splunk offerings. Cisco is combining AppDynamics, Splunk Platform, Observability Cloud, and IT Service Intelligence into a single portfolio called Splunk Observability. This portfolio combines AppD’s unparalleled visibility and business insights across 3-tier/n-tier applications with Splunk’s industry-defining log analytics and best-in-class cloud-native observability. No migration is required.
Splunk’s Observability portfolio consists of the Splunk platform, Splunk AppDynamics, Splunk Observability Cloud, and Splunk IT Service Intelligence. The combined portfolio is complementary:
- Splunk AppDynamics: Optimize three-tier and hybrid and on-prem application performance with application performance monitoring (APM), application security, AppDynamics Monitoring for SAP? Solutions, infrastructure monitoring, business analytics, digital experience monitoring (DEM) including network intelligence with ThousandEyes integration, and more.
- Splunk Observability Cloud: Optimize cloud-native application performance with APM, infrastructure monitoring, real-user monitoring and synthetic monitoring, and correlation with logs from the Splunk Platform for fast, codeless and in-context troubleshooting.
- Splunk IT Service Intelligence: Monitor service health and detect anomalies. Consolidate alerts and events from the rest of the portfolio and other monitoring tools to reduce alert noise with AIOps. Give ITOps teams visibility into business processes that cut across different application domains and IT systems.
Yes! We support the continued need for business-focused observability for hybrid and multi-tier applications. For business, regulatory, and other reasons, many organizations choose not to refactor these applications to be microservices-centric.
In addition to a robust individual product roadmap of features and enhancements, we are enhancing integrations between AppDynamics, Splunk platform, Splunk Observability Cloud, and Splunk IT Service Intelligence. Many integration capabilities are available now.
Nope! AppDynamics is a critical component of the Splunk Observability portfolio. It is a foundational enabler that helps our customers achieve full-stack observability for their hybrid and three-tier application environments.
The integrations and unified experience spanning the Splunk Observability portfolio enable AppDynamics to harness the capabilities of the Splunk platform, Splunk Observability Cloud, and Splunk IT Service Intelligence.
AppDynamics customers can quickly and seamlessly centralize log analytics to control costs, group related alerts from any source to reduce noise, correlate IT service health with business KPIs, and monitor and troubleshoot cloud-native environments.
Additionally, unified AI-powered capabilities are coming soon across the portfolio. AppDynamics customers can streamline workflows and get even more value from their AppDynamics deployment and their overall observability investments.
We changed the name to reflect that AppDynamics is an important part of the Splunk Observability portfolio. Cisco acquired Splunk in March 2024.
Integration throughout the portfolio is underway, focusing on
- Splunk AI and unified product experiences
- unified logs, metrics, and traces as well as identity and administration
- integrated workflows across AppDynamics and Observability Cloud
- integrated alerts and network telemetry from AppDynamics and other Cisco products in ITSI
Available now, Log Observer Connect for AppDynamics delivers context-preserving deep linking between AppDynamics and Splunk platform. AppDynamics application alerts and metrics are already integrated into ITSI for alert noise reduction and service health.
