According to Gartner, "Application performance monitoring is a key focus of IT operations groups, with growing influence from development, quality assurance and line-of-business application owners.” 

“Today’s application ecosystem has become much more complex with cloud, software-as-a-service (SaaS), and mobile applications being accessed by countless devices from people in all locations. Our customers need integrated, powerful and intelligent application monitoring and management solutions that can analyse and master such a complex global environment, and provide actionable information to the business,” said Paul Brady, Senior VP and GM, Riverbed Performance Management.
 
Riverbed Performance Management drastically reduces the time and effort required to develop, deploy and ensure application performance. The Riverbed Performance Management suite combines APM with application-aware network performance management (NPM) capabilities, leveraging on user experience, application and network visibility to detect and resolve issues before end users notice.

The company is the only APM provider that also offers solutions to improve application performance with WAN optimisation and application delivery controllers (ADCs).
