History
AppDynamics was founded in 2008 by Jyoti Bansal, a former lead software architect at Wily Technologies, a provider of application performance management technology.[2] AppDynamics received five rounds of funding totaling $206.5 Million.[3]
On April 10, 2013, CA Technologies (formerly Computer Associates) filed a lawsuit in the US District Court for the Eastern District in New York. The lawsuit claims that AppDynamics violated three patents that came into CA Technologies' possession through acquisitions.[4] This was the second action CA Technologies filed in connection with alleged infringement of patents obtained in the acquisition of Wily Technology. In November 2012, CA Technologies filed a lawsuit asserting patent infringement of the same three APM patents against software company, New Relic. On April 20, 2015, AppDynamics and CA settled the two-year-old patent dispute. AppDynamics said that it paid a "modest fixed payment."[5]
In January 2017, Cisco acquired AppDynamics for $3.7 billion, just days before a planned IPO of the company. In March 2017, Cisco completed the acquisition of AppDynamics.[6]
