Why IT-Conductor? 
The IT-Conductor platform is a relatively new entry in the world of APM platforms, but it has uniquely new approach. It’s not always easy to switch platforms, and if you’re considering IT-Conductor, what makes a migration worth it?

IT-Conductor's agentless cloud technology and automation offers the ability to expedite deployment, configure application monitoring from best-practices templates, and customize IT process automation, all in the same platform. Here are the biggest reasons why we believe IT-Conductor is the better choice!
Application Performance Management (APM) News
Cisco Pays $3.7 Billion for APM Technology AppDynamics: In a last minute acquisition right before AppDynamics scheduled IPO, it was bought out so that Cisco can enhance its ability in the application performance monitoring area. AppDynamics was founded in 2008 and monitors websites and mobile apps, but lacks deep enterprise application focus such as SAP. Nevertheless, this deal highlights the momentum in the APM space, particularly with SaaS solutions.
