Create an Account

Your first step to working with Cisco AppDynamics is to create a SaaS account to fit your data security needs, application workflow, and business environment. Reviewing the Deployment Planning Guide will help you strategize.

Warning: Cisco AppDynamics has implemented restrictions and will not enter into any negotiation with, or seek to solicit any interest from, any third party in relation to the sale or use of the Cisco AppDynamics products or software or any part thereof, whether directly or indirectly with any country or region subject to an embargo including but not limited to Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan, Syria, and Crimea.

Choose an account type and deployment option. There is no limit to the number of users you can create with either option. See Cisco AppDynamics Trial.

Create an Account - Enterprise Account

The Deployment Planning Guide will help you determine how to set up your account to best suit your business. An Cisco AppDynamics customer account manager will work with your organization to determine the proper configuration.
Attention: Every user account must be created with a valid email. The email entered at account creation will be the user's login ID throughout their Cisco AppDynamics experience.
Cisco AppDynamics will provide you with a hosted Controller Tenant. You will receive an email with URL information and login instructions.
Note: Cisco AppDynamics does not support user or agent requests that originate from any URL other than the Controller Tenant URL provided at registration or otherwise edited by Cisco AppDynamics. Due to system security improvements, requests from custom URLs will be rejected and may cause a service disruption. If a custom URL is required, we recommend that you create a forward proxy in your environment.

Once Cisco AppDynamics provides a hosted Controller Tenant, you will:

  1. Choose and install agents.
  2. Add users through the Controller Tenant UI.
  3. Configure Email/SMS settings to enable notifications on a preconfigured SMTP server.
