App Monitoring Grows Up

Executive Summary
Application Monitoring

Our expectations were high in our tests of application performance monitoring solutions, and the results were generally gratifying. As a class, these products outshine SNMP platforms; their focus facilitates the immediate improvement of your application infrastructure. Yet despite this significant advantage, the products still have room for improvement. For example, none of the tools we tested can track a transaction all the way through a multitiered server architecture.

We crown International Network Services VitalSuite best of breed in this tightly contested category for its well-conceived design and immediate out-of-the-box value. VitalSuite's silver bullet is its clever presentation of very complex data. NextPoint Networks NextPoint S3 is close behind, noteworthy for combining SNMP monitoring with application performance monitoring, and providing a complete picture of your network and systems.
