Benefits

• Accelerate application performance troubleshooting. Solve problems in minutes that typically take weeks.
• Provide convincing reports to stakeholders so they will take action to remediate.
• Easily generate high quality reports that explain transaction performance.
• 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.

What Users Are Saying

"This is valuable to me... It's exactly what I wanted to see"

Network Analyst
Public Broadcasting Company

"Prior to our work with OPNET, IT engineers spent a significant amount of time analyzing trace data and performance metrics, frequently arriving at different and conflicting conclusions on the cause of performance problems... We want to spend less time firefighting and spend more time focusing on SunTrust's strategic business goals. OPNET is a key enabler in this transformation."

"Keep making intuitive products that help my team achieve minimal network downtime and I'll keep buying them."

Associate Director
Regional Health System

"In my entire IT career, I have never seen a product with such a great ROI. In the 10 months that we have owned OPNET, it has more than paid for itself."

"I think OPNET will change the way [the Agency] does business."

Network Operations Manager
U.S. Federal Agency

"This is what I really need! AppTransaction Xpert provides more value than [CA NetQoS] SuperAgent. I know we don't have a network issue, but I can prove this with you, not with SuperAgent."

Senior Network Engineer
Health Care Provider

"We have had great success in diagnosing root cause for several critical applications by analyzing packet traces in AppTransaction Xpert."
