Application performance monitoring (APM)
Get best-in-class APM from the category leader. Automatic and intelligent observability at scale for cloud native workloads and enterprise apps helps you ensure end-to-end hybrid cloud distributed tracing, optimize service performance, innovate faster, collaborate efficiently, and deliver more value with less effort.
What is Application Performance Monitoring?
The term APM refers to the management of software application performance to ensure an expected level of service, as measured by performance metrics and user experience monitoring. APM solutions aim to detect and pinpoint application performance issues before real users are impacted. However, not all APM tools are able to follow through on the promise.
