Offerings and add-ons
There are two IBM® Cloud Application Performance Management, Private offerings, Base and Advanced, and multiple add-ons. The offerings and add-ons contain agents and data collectors. Specific add-ons can be used with each offering.
The IBM Cloud Application Performance Management, Private offerings (previously called IBM Performance Management) and some product extensions were rebranded and consolidated in the V8.1.4 release. For more information, see Product rebranding and simplification.
