Web Applications are now woven into the way that many enterprises operate, and monitoring and management of these applications become extremely important to businesses that require nimble datacenters. The risks of failure rise as enterprise application complexity, immediacy, and scope. To mitigate those risks it is imperative to deploy a comprehensive, proactive approach to managing next-generation applications and services.

Traditional application management tools are often inefficient and unhelpful when it comes to managing next-generation cross-application and cross-enterprise business processes and services. To manage these new types of dynamic applications successfully, application owners and administrators must deploy management tools and solutions that provides real-time visibility, context, and control from the application and data level through the dynamic service and business process levels; while adding minimal overheads to mission-critical applications in production environments.

This evaluation guide outlines the features to look for when choosing a web application performance management solution, and provides a detailed checklist to aid in the evaluation. Read this white paper to learn:
