What is the prospect of APM in China? Which product is better?

APM technology has gone through three stages of development, and a number of companies in different stages have been born in China.

Well-known APM manufacturers in China:

The first generation of APM products, Tiandan, Shen Xin (discontinued) and Guangtong Youyun;

The second generation APM products, Ting Yun Borui;

The third generation of APM products, by the cloud;

Well-known foreign APM manufacturers:

A typical representative of the second generation APM products, Cisco Appdynamics；;

Typical representatives of the third generation APM products, Dynatrace, Datadog, NewRelic；;

Remarks:

Nowadays, the third generation APM products are not only limited to the APM field, but also extended to the integrated/full-stack performance monitoring, from the basic layer (IaaS), the middle layer (PaaS) to the application layer (SaaS), and one probe/platform directly covers the whole stack.

This is also the trend of future performance monitoring. Most of the traditional APM manufacturers in Europe and America are iterative full-stack PM companies, and Cisco's APPD products are gradually facing the dilemma of being eliminated, while domestic manufacturers are relatively ignorant.
