Founded in 2008 to address the problem of monitoring Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) applications. Over the years the platform has expanded to include web and mobile end user monitoring, RDBMS monitoring, log management and analytics. However the core of the platform has not changed significantly and struggles to cope with modern container based application environments. Runtime support is class leading for Java but lagging behind the other vendors for alternative runtimes. Support for monitoring other services such as caches, message queues and NoSQL data stores is limited. Business analytics capabilities are very good but complex and time consuming to set up.

A powerful data ingestion and dashboarding platform. A comprehensive set of supported and open source data collectors means you can get data in from just about anything. However the platform provides very little in the way of automation and analysis. It’s metrics on graphs on dashboards.
