When an organization is ready to deploy a new solution, or build a new system, there is often a continuing discussion about the relative merits of using the cloud versus deploying on-premises.

Yet, I found that being oncall was the right decision for me.

It seems like hardly a week goes by without news of a security breach. Cyberattacks are becoming more frequent and more severe, costing businesses $600 billion per year according to the 2018 Economic Impact of Cybercrime report. Without a strong security policy in place, businesses risk falling victim to new threats while losing the trust of their customers.

We are excited to be recognized as a Leader in The Forrester Wave™: Intelligent Application and Service Monitoring, Q2 2019. It covers vendors from infrastructure and cloud monitoring, application performance monitoring (APM) and AIOps. Rather than publishing a separate Wave for each of these vendor categories, we believe that this report creates a combined market category based on how solutions solve customer problems rather than on how technology vendors create market spaces.
