Application Performance Management - Enterprise

What is Application Performance Management - Enterprise Tools?

Application Performance Management (APM) software monitors software applications and strives to diagnose performance issues and maintain a high service level for users. The best APM software will increase user satisfaction and application performance and lower application support costs. More advanced APM solutions can diagnose performance issues across today's heterogeneous computing environments where workloads are deployed on-premises, in private clouds, public, and even hybrid clouds. Leading solutions use predictive analytics that enables IT to forecast capacity needs, deploy test scripts based on actual user workloads and pinpoint issues across user geographies and data center architecture components.
