An effective APM solution – one that monitors and analyzes multiple applications simultaneously - can be key to ensuring your vital resources are protected and the user experience is the best it can be. By monitoring every transaction that runs through your application in real-time, you are able to determine if your apps are operating optimally. If issues arise, an APM solution can alert you to the problem and collect data that will reveal the source of the problem, whether it is the app itself, app dependencies, or the supporting infrastructure.
By correlating application performance to business outcomes, IT professionals can determine where, when and why problems occur, which allows for proactive mitigation efforts. Armed with the knowledge delivered by an APM solution, IT can modify the application environment to head off similar problems before they impact the business and adversely affect end-users. An APM solution eliminates the need to manually search individual event logs or build synthetic monitors, saving time and associated costs.
