5 Application Performance Monitoring Vendors to Watch in 2018

Finding the right network monitoring solution is crucial to building a consistent experience for your employees and customers. Monitoring your network is undeniably important, but if the applications that your teams and customers are using aren’t efficient, then having a stable network is almost inconsequential.

Application performance monitoring (APM) is an equally important component to managing your network environment. Most network monitoring solutions either include APM or offer it as an extension of their software. There is a tremendous crossover between these solutions and picking the right network monitoring solution may also come down to what APM works best for your company. We’ve compiled a list of five APM vendors to watch in 2018, to provide you with some insight into the diverse range of products available in the network monitoring space.
