Compuware received the highest score possible in eight out of ten categories and the second-highest score in the other two categories. No other vendor received higher aggregate scores across the ten categories.
Vendors were evaluated in these ten categories of APM <http://www.compuware.com/application-performance-management/> functionality: 1).end user experience monitoring using a passive appliance; 2). response time monitoring using a scripted robot or active agent; 3). transaction tracing and mapping <http://www.dynatrace.com/en/solutions-business-transaction-management.aspx> ; 4). application monitoring--Java/.NET <http://www.compuware.com/application-performance-management/java-net-monitoring.html> ; 5). packaged application monitoring--Oracle, SAP etc.; 6). infrastructure monitoring - including virtualisation; 7). database performance monitoring; 8). messaging technology monitoring; 9). monitoring of applications in public cloud <http://www.compuware.com/application-performance-management/cloud-computing-solutions.html> (IaaS); and 10). dashboard reporting and analytics.
According to the report: “The current economic conditions favour short-term returns on investments. In today’s economy, IT organisations tend to favour tactical over strategic initiatives.

Also, in the report, Forrester Vice President and Principal Analyst, JP Garbani wrote: “Compuware offers a full complement of end user monitoring solutions, from subscription services to a multiprotocol passive appliance, and the ability to monitor phones and tablet devices in real time. To this impressive list, Compuware has now added dynaTrace <http://www.dynatrace.com/en/> , which brings always on, end-to-end transaction tracing and monitoring to complement the Compuware Gomez <http://www.compuware.com/application-performance-management/the-gomez-platform.html> platform, which includes Gomez SaaS products and on-premises products (formerly branded ‘Vantage’).”

We see this happen every day in both large and small companies who improve their business using Compuware’s APM solution.”
