  • End-user experience monitoring and troubleshooting

    Monitor true end-user application experience and actual user transactions rather than synthetic transactions. Get timely alerts when problems threaten key business transactions.

    Monitor the health of critical applications

    Root cause diagnosis of application performance problems

    Get to the heart of the problem by breaking down application response time into contributing sources. With OPNET AppResponse Xpert you’ll quickly see if a performance problem is rooted in the network, servers or application code components.

    Pinpoint the source of application response time delay

    Automated analytics for response time monitoring

    See response time for all users and transactions by application, user business group, and location. And don’t guess if you can handle an expansion, use OPNET AppResponse Xpert to quantify the impact of future changes.

    Web transaction response time is measured at the page level

    Many competitive products only offer HTTP request/response measurement, which doesn’t take into account the entire web page that users are waiting for.

    Slice and dice traffic

    You can easily measure traffic by application, user, business division, and location.

    Flexible in deployment and for users

    • Chose between OPNET AppResponse Xpert as a hardware appliance or virtual appliance
    • Dashboards can be designed for any type of user – detailed statistics for a network manager or high level overview for an executive

  • “As the global network manager, I didn't want to spend my time analyzing network traffic; [AppResponse Xpert] does the work for us and puts our team at ease so we can focus on planning strategic IT projects that impact our business.”

    Global Network Manager
    Coty, Inc.

    “I was skeptical at first, but I have to say that the [AppResponse Xpert] box definitely 'does what it says on the tin'. Its ability to quickly drill down to the cause of performance issues, its amazing ease of use, and the clarity of its presentation of so many useful metrics, have made it our primary tool for application performance management.”

    UK Network Manager
    IT Centre UK

    ALSTOM

    "When we started using the [AppResponse Xpert] appliances to monitor our network's health it was like adding a next-generation power tool to our tool chest. Their unprecedented flexibility gives us the ability to analyze the network deeply, easily, and in real time.”

    IT Manager of Network Service Operations
    Jarden Consumer solution

    "The [AppResponse Xpert] solution has given us a scientific approach to managing the site, making the hard data we need easily available for analysis and thus enabling us to forecast, act, and react much more appropriately. And now, when my boss comes down and asks me 'what's up with the network', I can give him a complete answer—in terms of the impact on our business—in ten minutes or less.”

    Senior Network Engineer
    Hotwire.com

    "[AppResponse Xpert] saves us more time than any other management tool we use. It's like having another person on staff.”

    Senior Network and Systems Analyst
    Colgate University

    "The Indiana Office of Technology in conjunction with the Indiana Department of Revenue chose OPNET’s [AppTransaction Xpert], NetMapper, and [AppResponse Xpert] products to primarily make existing staff more productive. The number of agencies and their diverse applications require tools that permit rapid identification of the problem. Laser-like sifting through the volume of data collapses identification and restoration cycle time, improving agency productivity and constituent satisfaction. The OPNET tools drive this objective. As the Department of Revenue rewrites the main tax processing application using Java we will be using these tools and possibly [AppInternals Xpert] to move from “network performance issues after deployment” to “predictive performance analysis in development and test”. The objective is to prevent problems. The best features of the OPNET tools are they are rapidly deployable, non-intrusive to the network or servers, and don’t require complicated configurations. As an example, we deployed the [AppResponse Xpert] appliance out of the box on a Proof of Concept, defined one business application group and identified within the hour a major performance problem we had been hunting for months with other tools. As you may guess, we bought the [AppResponse Xpert] appliance."

    • Citrix Monitoring for OPNET AppResponse Xpert

      Citrix offers significant benefits to IT organizations. But, due to its unique architecture, the lack of a complete view of user transactions can sometimes complicate the performance-troubleshooting process. The CX-Tracer module uses industry-leading analytics in OPNET AppResponse Xpert to pinpoint the root cause of performance problems for Citrix-hosted applications.
      Before+deploying+CX-Tracer%2C+it+is+difficult+to+identify+the+back-end+traffic+that+corresponds+to+a+specific+user.CX-Tracer+correlates+user+traffic+and+tracks+performance+of+individual+user+transactions.

      CX-Tracer automatically correlates front-end user sessions to their back-end counterparts, enabling end-to-end analysis of individual Citrix user sessions. Additionally, CX-Tracer complements and extends your existing Citrix monitoring solutions such as Citrix EdgeSight.

    • Database Performance Monitoring for OPNET AppResponse Xpert

      With the Database Performance module you can identify the impact of a database on end-to-end application performance.
