IPM supercharges your observability platform

Dynatrace APM is a great tool for monitoring the performance of your application. And Catchpoint IPM is a great tool to ensure that it can be reliably experienced by your users around the globe.

End user perspective

APM indirectly infers the state of an end user’s experience. IPM directly observes from where it matters – where their experiences occur. By combining them, orgs have full end-to-end visibility.​

No more blind spots

Agent-based APM cannot monitor the Internet Stack (third-party dependencies, external factors like Internet outages, overloaded CDNs, critical third-party APIs, etc). IPM can proactively monitor them with no required agent installations.

Less noise;
more signal​

APM requires a high threshold of events before surfacing any types of intelligence. Conversely, IPM alerts may be fine tuned per nuanced specifications. By combining both types of intelligence, organizations have optimal signal-to-noise ratio.​

AI-powered precognition​

Augment your APM application service map of the application stack with Catchpoint’s intelligent, front-end service dependency map enabling you to see the past and present to infer the future state.
