Six aspects characterise vendors that appear in the Leaders Quadrant: 1). competitive offerings related to all five dimensions of APM and best-of-breed functionality in two or more of the dimensions; 2). credibility in the monitoring of application domains assembled from heterogeneous sources; 3). effective integration across four or more of the dimensions; 4). the ability to deliver and support APM on a global basis; 5). a consistent track record of innovation; and 6). a vision that places APM at the heart of operations and application management.

Reflecting this growth, Compuware was recently named the #1 provider of web performance monitoring solutions to the largest online retailers in the U.S. by Internet Retailer Magazine <http://www.internetretailer.com/top500/list/> for the fifth year in a row, with more of the top 500 customers than the No. 2 and No. 3 vendors combined.
