Case Study: Edmunds.com achieves $1.2 Million in savings with AppDynamics

Edmunds Achieves $1.2 Million in Savings with AppDynamics

Edmunds.com, a leading online car-shopping resource, needed better visibility into application performance to keep site response times below 150 ms. With a strong DevOps culture that depends on timely, actionable production data, the team found existing APM tools required predefining events and couldn’t automatically capture the unexpected issues that were degrading performance.

AppDynamics provided automatic problem detection with low production overhead, enabling Ops to deliver immediate, relevant diagnostics to Dev and dramatically speed troubleshooting. The result: mean-time-to-resolution fell by roughly 45% (about half), ROI was achieved in five months with a 4x return, revenue loss from outages dropped by over 50%, and Edmunds saved more than $800K in year one with roughly $1.2M projected over two years.
