Frequently asked questions

How is AppDynamics Priced?

AppDynamics is packaged in the Infrastructure Monitoring, Premium and Enterprise packages which are licensed per CPU Core. A CPU Core is defined as the logical thread core or processor reported by the operating system on a unique instance of a physical or virtual host machine.

Contact us to learn more.

Are subscription licenses exclusive to a particular application stack?

No, subscription licenses are not tied to a particular application stack. As long as you have licenses to cover the number of CPU Cores (AppDynamics) being reported at any given time, you can monitor an unlimited number of applications, databases, servers or containers.

Does AppDynamics offer monitoring solutions for microservices?

Yes, AppDynamics and Cloud Native Application Observability powered by the Cisco FSO Platform are end-to-end monitoring solutions covering a broad range of technologies including highly elastic architectures that include microservices, Docker and Kubernetes containers, or that leverage cloud auto-scaling. Monitoring for microservices is included with all packages between both products.

Does AppDynamics offer volume discounts or special pricing options?

Yes, we offer volume discounts and custom pricing for large installations for AppDynamics.
