Dynatrace claims to outpace Cisco in the observability space — but that’s simply not true. Without Full-Stack Observability, IT teams lack AI-driven insights needed to effectively prioritize remediation and security based on what matters most to your business. Cisco Full-Stack Observability (FSO) goes beyond reactive monitoring to deliver proactive and predictive visibility across the entire tech stack.

Sorry Dynatrace, you can’t do that.

In this webinar you’ll learn: 
-Key differentiators between Dynatrace and Cisco Full-Stack Observability. (Spoiler alert: it’s all about AI-driven insights, accelerating MTTR, reducing tool and vendor sprawl, and mitigating risk — all in one extensible platform.)
-What to look for in an observability solution to understand with confidence which one serves your needs now and in the future.
-Why unifying views of siloed telemetry from different domains without correlation to outcomes from Dynatrace is not “observability” and can’t safeguard your entire user journey.

If Dynatrace is your jam, no worries. Bring it along for the ride! Cisco FSO was engineered to play well with everyone — any platform, tool, or vendor.

Cisco FSO vs. Dynatrace: Beyond Monitoring for User Experience Protection

Proactive Digital Experience Monitoring

In today's world, it is becoming increasingly critical that businesses deliver flawless digital experiences. One slow down, one broken check out button, one failed redirect and a customer or user may be gone forever. Not to mention the underlying impact of security vulnerabilities, which are getting increasingly pernicious by the day.

As customer expectations are growing, so do the complexities of the IT infrastructure. Apps are hosted on-premises, in hybrid environments and in the cloud, and organizations are resorting to adding more and more monitoring tools across application, network and security teams, creating silos, tool sprawl and rising costs. And while 57% of businesses acknowledge using more than ten products for observability and monitoring, 62% admit they still have observability functionality gaps.* Not addressing these observability challenges can leave your brand reputation at risk.

In this session, you will learn how Cisco Full-Stack Observability can help break through the noise, silos and tool sprawl by bringing data together from across application, networking and security - whether on-premises, in hybrid environments or in the cloud, and provide intelligent insights and actions tied to business context. 
We will be joined by two Cisco customers who will share their own observability journeys and how Cisco Full-Stack Observability has helped position themselves and their teams as true growth partners with the business.

Elevating and securing digital experiences for your business

Most industries experience high demand and significant bumps in revenue based on the time of year and their specialties. For example, air travel increases in the summer which impacts app usage. As such, these companies tend to execute go-to-market strategies for sales and new product rollouts on a predictable schedule which gives cybercriminals the advantage of identifying a path of least resistance while planning attacks.

For those caught in the crosshairs at the busiest and most important time of the organization's year, the consequences of security gaps can wreak havoc. 

In this webinar, you’ll learn: 
How to ensure mission-critical applications are safe during high incident seasons. 
How to prioritize resources against the biggest impact.
What to do if an incident arises.

Security tips & tricks to stay safe during high incident seasons

All businesses are now digital businesses and application-driven experiences are their lifeblood. Bringing these to life at scale and securely, however, requires the ability to see, understand and intelligently manage infrastructure and applications regardless of where they live; whether on prem, in hybrid environments or in the cloud. In addition, this requires the ability to determine and reflect the business context tied to infrastructure performance and experience delivery. Cisco Full-Stack Observability allows you to move beyond monitoring and gives you the power to run your estate and applications in the most proactive, effective and secure way possible. Cisco’s new Full Stack Observability Platform integrates data and telemetry from solutions you already rely on from Cisco as well as from your application and cloud ecosystem to give you context, intelligence and visibility tied to business impact. In addition, Cisco’s Cloud-Native Application Protection Platform gives you the power to see and understand threats and vulnerabilities that can impact your posture in the cloud as well as impact customers. 

In this session you’ll hear how Cisco innovations are enabling you to elevate secure digital experiences for your business as well as position you and your team as true growth partners with the business. You will also hear from a Cisco customer about their journey to full stack observability.
