Features & Benefits of Pion® Application Performance Management

Agent-Free Performance Monitoring

Popular performance monitoring solutions are effective at spotting issues at the infrastructure layer, but miss the picture on the application layer. For example, they'll tell you when your server is down, but they'll miss the fact that an exceptional number of users are experiencing shopping cart errors today. Pion's advanced packet capture technology makes it the perfect addition to your performance management toolkit, allowing you to add the application layer picture to your existing suite of dashboards and alerts. With Pion you'll have pinpoint accuracy when answering user experience questions like "how long did it take to process and render the page?", "what was the server response time?" and "how much does that page weigh?".

Real-Time Application Alerting

As the complexity and criticality of online business applications grows, so does the importance of smart, up-to-the-second IT alerts. Alerts to let you know when an application error was experienced. Alerts to let you know when a popular link is dead. You know the alerts that matter most to your business and you know how you need to receive them. Pion makes it possible by passively monitoring and collecting all of your network traffic in real-time, spotting issues based on filters you define and alerting you instantly. With Pion you go far beyond basic availability alerting, receiving fully customizable, real-time alerting based on any application-layer event triggers you define. Send important alerts to your existing dashboards, email, SMS and more.
 

Application Error Troubleshooting

Forget about a needle in a haystack. These days pinpointing the cause of application errors is more akin to finding one needle among a million haystacks, all whizzing by at top speed on a conveyer belt. With so many events pouring in from different people around the world with different devices, environments and expectations, problems are bound to pop up. Purely log-based solutions for understanding and resolving these problems are time and resource intensive, don't show the whole picture, and simply can't keep up with this data deluge any longer. Pion provides a fast way to zero in on the right event, see what went wrong and understand how to fix it. Pion's visual session replay interface lets you play back a problem exactly as your user encountered it, alongside technical details that show what happened on the backend.

Real-Time Dashboards

Pion features a robust built-in Complex Event Processing engine along with a full set of Real-Time Dashboard tools. These powerful features work together to ensure you stay on top of your applications' critical events at all times. Extract and correlate data events from any number of disparate sources in real time and send them to your dashboards to monitor application performance, spot and prioritize issues and guard against fraud and security breeches.
