The ability to track performance of an application or application suite over time is extremely valuable to our business partners and for our application development team with near real time results. Additionally the ability to track both real and synthetic user performance and compare real to synthetic user performance as a baseline is important to us on several fronts; real users make human decisions and we can see how their performance compares to "perfect" synthetic users running scripts to do similar tasks. And because our synthetic users run consistently 24/7 we also can compare peak traffic performance to off peak performance.

Capacity on database and file servers. I found the algorithms to forecast growth and concerns particularly intuitive. Real time mapping of services and the compliance of SLA’s, ultimately adding all the dependencies’ to key systems. This level of viewable monitoring had many benefits such as alerting, scalability, reporting and service dashboard we could promote.

Having standard monitoring features and a central repository saves us a lot of time and reduces risk of incidents. It replaces a lot of manual tasks and makes it easier for us to be more pro-active and to prioritise issues across multiple systems. It also keeps a history which we use for post incident reviews and performance monitoring.

The Application Performance Monitor is one of the most valuable tools you can have in your bag for monitoring. With the APM you can replay the end user session and see issues quickly by viewing the session. This has helped us many times with issues such as promo codes not working and customers unable to get to a particular page to end the checkout process.

The most valuable feature is drill-down monitoring, which shows us from one interface the transaction chain from the front end to back end. Another interesting thing is that this product can work with many databases including freeware (PostgreSQL, MySQL, Oracle, MS SQL). So, it can seriously reduce TCO.
