Business Transaction Monitoring:
Not the Be-All and End-All of APM

In today's digital business economy, it is imperative for application teams to monitor how users interact with web applications and what experience they see! Business transaction monitoring, a critical aspect of application performance monitoring (APM), is the approach commonly used to identify and diagnose slowness in web applications.

While it has its benefits, business transaction monitoring has its limits as well! It stops with identifying of the server-side tier that is causing application slowness and highlights application code-level and database query-level issues.

Read this white paper to understand why application and IT teams need visibility beyond business transaction monitoring to isolate the root cause of application problems and remediate them. Learn how a converged approach to application and infrastructure monitoring helps troubleshoot performance slowdowns more effectively:

• Measure user experience and know when a business transaction is slow
• Monitor application transactions in context of IT infrastructure performance
• Understand dependencies between applications and IT infrastructure to be able to isolate the root cause of performance issues
