As with all our Application Performance Management (APM) blogs, we'd like to first append this with a few caveats. Firstly, we’re big fans of APM. For too long enterprise monitoring efforts have focused too heavily on infrastructure - and it was APM that first flipped this paradigm on its head. Secondly, we are by no means an APM tool – and whilst we’ll go into our differences later - we simply share the vision that applications should be put at the heart of your IT monitoring strategy.
