Overview

AppTransaction Xpert is a powerful tool for detailed analysis of individual transactions. In today's complex application architectures, a single transaction can involve many tiers and require thousands of messages to traverse the network. This solution makes extensive use of visualization and analytics to accelerate troubleshooting in production, as well as pre-deployment performance validation and prediction. In production, the combination of AppResponse Xpert and AppTransaction Xpert is unmatched in the industry, providing a seamless workflow that spans monitoring, alerting, triage, root cause diagnosis, and remediation guidance. In pre-deployment, AppTransaction Xpert is the industry-leading solution for application network readiness testing.

Benefits

• Accelerate application performance troubleshooting.
• Provide convincing information to support problem remediation.
• Ensure the performance of applications prior to deployment.
• Avoid the cost of unnecessary bandwidth upgrades.

Use AppTransaction Xpert to:

• Analyze a single transaction to quickly and conclusively determine the root cause of a performance problem
• Visualize transactional behavior and performance and easily communicate information to application stakeholders.
• Predict application performance prior to deployment.
• Accurately size access links.
• Test the effect of proposed application and infrastructure changes on application performance (e.g., data center consolidation).
• Validate the effectiveness of proposed approaches to fix performance problems.
• Quantify the effects of WAN optimization on your applications prior to making an investment.

Key Features

• Off-line, in-depth analysis leveraging packet traces obtained from a wide variety of sources.
• Powerful, graphical diagrams for visualizing application behavior.
• Hundreds of application and network protocol decodes, including Citrix, SOAP, VoIP, SSL, SQL, HTTP, etc.
• Unlimited, free, lightweight and secure packet capture agents, supporting a wide range of platforms.
• Continuous capture capability for troubleshooting intermittent problems.
•  Coordinated multi-tier packet capture and automatic trace synchronization.
• Support for applications hosted in virtual environments.
• Accurate transaction modeling in WAN-optimized infrastructures.
• Automated diagnostic reports that pinpoint performance bottlenecks and summarize sources of delay.
• Powerful “whiteboard” environment for “what if” assessment of application modifications.
• Out-of-the-box and customizable reports for key stakeholders including application developers, network engineers, and management.

Compare AppTransaction Xpert to other solutions

• Broad range of out-of-the box analyses and reports.
• AppTransaction Xpert agents are especially lightweight and can be deployed enterprise wide.  Other capture agents are often demanding on CPU and disk and can include components such as a database.
• AppTransaction Xpert is the market leader for advanced transaction analysis with an active user community and continuous product evolution.

Integrations

• Isolate transactions of interest in OPNET’s real-time end-user experience monitoring solution, AppResponse Xpert, and drill-down into AppTransaction Xpert for root cause analysis.
• Using data from AppInternals Xpert, analyze a unified view of a transaction’s dynamics, comprising both messages crossing the network and code-level call trees as the transaction passes through multiple tiers.
• Centrally manage large scale agent deployments with AppTransaction Xpert Packet Trace Warehouse.
