| Ease of Use/Data Visualization |
- Capacity Planning views which show the number of times threshold levels have been breached over a 15 minute or 1 hour period so short-term significant events are not diluted
- Link Analysis views which launch and relate Link Usage over Time with its associated Top N Applications Snapshot and Top N AL Conversations Snapshot
- Threshold lines on Over Time views to quickly identify data that exceeds the defined threshold value
- Link Overlays for comparing the total link traffic to the selected application/host traffic.
- Alarm Overlays which display Basic and Power alarm indicators in the Link Usage over Time view for correlating alarms with usage data
- Dual Y-axis views which display two metrics on the same chart for easy comparison (i.e., volume versus utilization)
- Multi-Hop Bounce Charts for tracking conversations that transverse multiple monitoring points or segments
- Multi-Tier Bounce Charts for tracking application transactions that occur over multiple devices, (i.e., from client to application server to database server)
- Color-coded Bounce Charts highlight errors with a different color or some other mechanism to make it easier to recognize

| Responsiveness analysis |
- KPI metrics expose problematic conditions such as failed connections, application and network error conditions, slow responsiveness issues and timeouts. KPI views and alarms provide high-level, easily accessible data designed to reduce MTTR (Mean Time to Resolution).
|
| Reporting |
- Streamline report set up by associating a Monitored Element (MEL) group with all articles of a NewsPaper
- Edit ad hoc reports to reflect changing network environment or reporting needs
|
| Application/Protocol Support |
- New application/protocol support for financial traders, mobile operators and enterprises, including Oracle, OPRA, NYSE-Alerts, LSE and SMPP
- Extend well-known applications that use multiple port numbers by specifying additional ports used. This feature allows multiple instances of the same application to be consolidated into one.
- Define children of well-known applications by identifying server IPs or subnets (up to eight) and/or a message group within the application. This feature allows one application to be broken into multiple instances that can be monitored separately.

- AFMon Selective Recording allows all, none or part of network packets to be recorded on a per application basis. While this extends storage time, it is also critical for compliance with regulations such as PCI DSS and HIPPA.
- AFMon Storage Server Mode expands continuous recording and data storage to WAN environments
