Compuware Corporation has announced that Gartner Inc. has placed Compuware in the “Leaders” quadrant of the “Magic Quadrant for Application Performance Monitoring (APM)” report. The report evaluated 14 vendors on completeness of vision and ability to execute. Compuware’s APM business is growing and gaining market share extremely rapidly. Last quarter (Q1), Compuware saw a 95 percent year-over-year increase in APM license fees, and added 197 new, paying APM customers.
John Van Siclen, GM, APM business unit, Compuware said, “We are extremely pleased and honored that Gartner has positioned Compuware as a leader in the application performance monitoring Magic Quadrant. There’s a profound change taking place in the APM market; old, traditional APM tools no longer cut it and don’t offer the capabilities needed to address today’s application complexity. The shift to composite applications, rapid release cycles and more dynamic agile platforms favors Compuware’s modern, new-generation approach to APM. The guard is changing, and we believe that our approach is redefining APM, and our business results are beginning to show it. With our new-generation APM system, our customers can quickly achieve significant cost savings, increased revenue and rapid time-to-value simultaneously, maximizing the value of their applications.”
