New
Hosted APM Platform Pinpoints Web Application Bottlenecks in Real
Time to Address Needs of Today's Business-Critical Cloud
Environments.
Las
Vegas, NV, USA (October 6, 2015) -- At the AWS re:Invent conference this
week, Scout
Monitoring, creators of reliable server and
application monitoring solutions created by developers for
developers, unveiled its latest hosted application monitoring
solution, Scout APM. Unlike other application performance management
(APM) products, Scout APM is the only one that automatically
prioritizes performance problems based on their impact on
business-critical Web applications.
Application
development and management has become more complex with
virtualization and cloud computing. Release cycles are shorter so
more programmers are using agile development strategies, and
production environments have become more dynamic with more frequent
software releases. Unfortunately, most APM solutions can't keep pace
with today's accelerated software development cycles. Scout APM
addresses those issues by delivering context-driven analysis that
exposes Web application bottlenecks in a software-as-a-service
solution.
Scout
APM is the first APM platform to offer context-driven performance
analysis, highlighting bottlenecks that have an immediate impact on
revenue first, so you can correct the software code before it has a
dramatic effect on the bottom line. Scout APM is also the only
platform that features automatic developer attribution, not only
exposing the specific code responsible for performance problems, but
also identifying which developer on the team is best suited to
resolve the problem.
Scout
APM isolates code problems quickly, shortening time to resolution
with features such as:
• Exposing
poor application performance in real time;
• Identifying
who experienced the problem, how frequently, and in what segment of
the application source code;
• Isolating
the exact line of code creating the performance issue;
• Notifying
the developer who last worked with the code; and
• Determining
if the performance failure is an isolated issue or part of a larger
problem.
"Developers
have been asking us for a hosted APM solution that offers the same
reliability and ease of use as our SaaS server monitoring product,"
said Andre Lewis, CTO and co-founder of Scout. "With Scout APM,
we have created a robust application performance management tool that
isolates problems quickly and efficiently. And since it's delivered
as a hosted solution, it's easy to implement without budget approval
from senior management. It's ideal for business-critical applications
on any scale."
Other
hosted APM products are priced by the server, which can become
exceedingly expensive with virtualization and Platform-as-a-Service
(PaaS). Scout APM is licensed at $10 per monitored process per month.
A small-scale deployment could cost less than $100 per month, and a
typical deployment costs less than $1,000 per month. Pricing was
deliberately structured so developers and department managers could
quickly add Scout APM to troubleshoot development issues without
having to seek budget approval from senior management.
Scout
APM is available now. For more information about Scout APM and Scout
