Application intelligence with appdynamics a quick tour
History and Founding
AppDynamics was founded in 2008 by Jyoti Bansal, a former lead software architect at Wily Technologies, a provider of application performance management technology. AppDynamics received five rounds of funding totaling $206.5 Million.
In 2016, AppDynamics was ranked #9 on the Forbes Cloud 100 list.
On January 24, 2017 Cisco announced their intention to acquire AppDynamics for $3.7 billion.
Controversies
On April 10, 2013, CA Technologies (formerly Computer Associates) filed a lawsuit in the US District Court for the Eastern District in New York. The lawsuit claims that AppDynamics violated three patents that came into CA Technologies' possession through acquisitions. This was the second action CA Technologies filed in connection with alleged infringement of patents obtained in the acquisition of Wily Technology. In November 2012, CA Technologies filed a lawsuit asserting patent infringement of the same three APM patents against software company, New Relic. On April 20, 2015 AppDynamics and CA settled the two-year-old patent dispute. AppDynamics said that it paid a "modest fixed payment."
On February 2, 2015, Jonah Kowall, research Vice President in Gartner's IT Operations Research group and lead in evaluating Application Performance Management vendors in the Gartner APM Magic Quadrant took a market development and thought leadership position within AppDynamics. Later on February 17, 2015, AppDynamics hired a second APM industry analyst John Rakowski of Forrester Research also into a Marketing role.
