Our 10:30 Goal: We believe in making life easy, and that's why we want you to be able to install AppDynamics in 10 minutes and get value in 30 minutes. You'll find that both our SaaS and On-Premise options can be deployed in a fraction of the time of legacy application performance management tools.
AppDynamics uses bytecode instrumentation agents to provide complete real-time visibility and root cause analysis of application performance problems. Thus, for both deployment options, our solution requires that agents are installed on your application servers--whether they're located in your data center or the cloud.
To help you choose between our deployment options, here's a quick comparison:
 |
 |
|
Agent Deployment |
Required wherever your Application Servers are deployed. Takes less than 1-min to install per App Server. Can also be scripted, or built into cloud images for automated deployment. |
