AppNeta Launches Breakthrough Website Performance and End-User Experience Monitoring

BOSTON, Oct. 9, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- AppNeta, the technology leader of Full Stack Application Performance Management (APM) solutions, today announced the launch of AppView Web Global for website and web app performance monitoring from global internet locations. AppNeta has also launched a free trial version of AppView Web Global for users to easily try the technology on their own critical web apps.

Building upon the success of AppNeta's AppView Web service, which is currently used at more than 2,000 locations to measure web application performance from inside the firewall, AppView Web Global is a SaaS-delivered Synthetic Transaction Monitoring (STM) service providing customers with continuous visibility of end-user experience and availability of both public and private global web applications from the Internet.  Unlike traditional web-monitoring solutions that typically provide only a single overall latency value, AppView Web Global dissects the latency of every web transaction into the three core components of a web server, network and web client in order to pinpoint where the performance issues are hiding.

Additionally, AppView Web Global is uniquely integrated with AppNeta's code-level application performance monitoring solution, TraceView, to bring industry-first visibility into both Real User Monitoring (RUM) and Synthetic Transaction Monitoring (STM) performance. AppView Web and TraceView  enable "one click to insight" functionality to immediately understand which layers of the web application are affecting end-user performance.  By bringing RUM and STM together into a single unified platform, AppNeta enables customers to compare and contrast the baseline performance obtained via STM against their live click-stream performance gathered from RUM. This insight helps customers to  gauge the amount of actual impact and to determine root-cause of end-user performance and web application availability problems. 

"If an event occurs and no one sees it, believes it, or takes action on it, APM's value can be severely diminished and you run the risk of owning shelfware," said Larry Dragich, Director Enterprise Application Services at The Auto Club Group. "Our experience has shown that active synthetic monitoring is a good complement to passive monitoring to help provide visibility into application availability especially when monitoring outside the Data Center."

"Today, businesses cannot afford to have slow websites and applications. Customers and internal employees don't tolerate web app latency," said Jim Melvin, CEO, AppNeta. "Unlike traditional web app monitoring tools that only show you generic data about your website performance, AppView Web Global drills down into both internal and external applications, showing you how users are experiencing it specific to their location."

AppView Web Global is powered by a set of globally distributed web monitors that provides a unique location-based end-user perspective of web application performance and availability through real-time alerts and historical reports. Web monitors are licensed based on the number of web applications monitored, the number of locations, and the frequency of the monitoring. Web monitor scripts are easily created with powerful auto record functionality and can be edited and managed across all web monitors centrally.  Each script includes up to 20 steps to interact with a web application and can execute as frequently as once every  five minutes.  AppView Web Global's advanced scripting support is designed to handle today's complex web applications and fully supports multiple forms of authentication, AJAX-based, and single page applications.
