AppNeta announced its integrated SaaS Application Monitoring (SAM) bundle, a new offering in its Application Performance Management (APM) solution suite that delivers improved end user satisfaction and decreased operational costs.
SAM measures the performance, availability, and usage of all SaaS applications across the enterprise. SAM identifies applications in use, provides deep, granular visibility into performance of critical applications, and speeds troubleshooting of impacted services. With this unique combination of capabilities, AppNeta ensures visibility into the end-user experience with key applications, tied directly to infrastructure metrics throughout the internal and external application delivery networks.
“AppNeta addresses the needs of development and IT professionals who build, operate, and support business critical web applications in production, but also those professionals that support the users of SaaS-based external applications,” said Matt Stevens, President and CEO at AppNeta. “AppNeta is the only solution to provide SaaS-based full stack performance insight, from the application through the network to the end user. Using the AppNeta solution with SAM provides the deep insight to know who is using an app, whether it’s available, and how it is performing from the end user’s perspective,” says Matt Stevens, President and CEO at AppNeta.
SAM combines multiple data sources to deliver this insight and identifies applications, resource usage, and real user performance based on “from-the-wire” APM. This insight is augmented with specific extensions for key applications by executing transactions using a real web browser, along with AppNeta’s patented network technology for unprecedented full-stack insight. SAM aggregates this information in order to assure SLAs, visualize SaaS usage enterprise-wide, and identify slowdown or outages at specific end-user locations, via either a central SaaS-based dashboard or proactive alerts, allowing IT to isolate and remediate the source of the performance degradation.
SAM enables IT and operations managers to know quickly where problems are and what the cause is before users are impacted, providing the following key technical features:
- Automatic discovery of applications, identifying resource competition, usage patterns, and impact to other SaaS and non-SaaS applications. Multi-location visualizations enable users to view and measure traffic volume and traffic rates across multiple office locations and various applications and application classes and categories.
- Application extensions for targeted monitoring of SaaS applications such as Salesforce Microsoft Dynamics, NetSuite, Office365 and AthenaHealth. By using a real web browser, executing transactions from “behind the firewall” at user locations, SAM provides industry-standard Apdex scoring for each critical application, allowing quick, detailed troubleshooting without having to configure custom scripts.
- SaaS performance monitoring from either behind the corporate firewall or at remote offices or data centers as well as from AppNeta-managed Internet facing locations
- Web App SLA Report for assuring delivery of applications. By combining information about the end user experience and direct monitoring of the external network infrastructure for application readiness, SAM enables both proactive and ad-hoc analysis of the network’s ability to support all applications in use.
SAM supports most major SaaS applications, including Salesforce, Microsoft Dynamics, Office 360, and Google Docs.

Like most digital transformation shifts, organizations often prioritize productivity and leave security and observability to keep pace. This usually translates to both the mass implementation of new technology and fragmented monitoring and observability (M&O) tooling. In the era of AI and varied cloud architecture, a disparate observability function can be dangerous. IT teams will lack a complete picture of their IT environment, making it harder to diagnose issues while slowing down mean time to resolve (MTTR). In fact, according to recent data from the SolarWinds State of Monitoring & Observability Report, 77% of IT personnel said the lack of visibility across their on-prem and cloud architecture was an issue ...
In MEAN TIME TO INSIGHT Episode 23, Shamus McGillicuddy, VP of Research, Network Infrastructure and Operations, at EMA discusses the NetOps labor shortage ...
Technology management is evolving, and in turn, so is the scope of FinOps. The FinOps Foundation recently updated their mission statement from "advancing the people who manage the value of cloud" to "advancing the people who manage the value of technology." This seemingly small change solidifies a larger evolution: FinOps practitioners have organically expanded to be focused on more than just cloud cost optimization. Today, FinOps teams are largely — and quickly — expanding their job descriptions, evolving into a critical function for managing the full value of technology ...
Enterprises are under pressure to scale AI quickly. Yet despite considerable investment, adoption continues to stall. One of the most overlooked reasons is vendor sprawl ... In reality, no organization deliberately sets out to create sprawling vendor ecosystems. More often, complexity accumulates over time through well-intentioned initiatives, such as enterprise-wide digital transformation efforts, point solutions, or decentralized sourcing strategies ...
Nearly every conversation about AI eventually circles back to compute. GPUs dominate the headlines while cloud platforms compete for workloads and model benchmarks drive investment decisions. But underneath that noise, a quieter infrastructure challenge is taking shape. The real bottleneck in enterprise AI is not processing power, it is the ability to store, manage and retrieve the relentless volumes of data that AI systems generate, consume and multiply ...
The 2026 Observability Survey from Grafana Labs paints a vivid picture of an industry maturing fast, where AI is welcomed with careful conditions, SaaS economics are reshaping spending decisions, complexity remains a defining challenge, and open standards continue to underpin it all ...
The observability industry has an evolving relationship with AI. We're not skeptics, but it's clear that trust in AI must be earned ... In Grafana Labs' annual Observability Survey, 92% said they see real value in AI surfacing anomalies before they cause downtime. Another 91% endorsed AI for forecasting and root cause analysis. So while the demand is there, customers need it to be trustworthy, as the survey also found that the practitioners most enthusiastic about AI are also the most insistent on explainability ...
In the modern enterprise, the conversation around AI has moved past skepticism toward a stage of active adoption. According to our 2026 State of IT Trends Report: The Human Side of Autonomous AI, nearly 90% of IT professionals view AI as a net positive, and this optimism is well-founded. We are seeing agentic AI move beyond simple automation to actively streamlining complex data insights and eliminating the manual toil that has long hindered innovation. However, as we integrate these autonomous agents into our ecosystems, the fundamental DNA of the IT role is evolving ...
AI workloads require an enormous amount of computing power ... What's also becoming abundantly clear is just how quickly AI's computing needs are leading to enterprise systems failure. According to Cockroach Labs' State of AI Infrastructure 2026 report, enterprise systems are much closer to failure than their organizations realize. The report ... suggests AI scale could cause widespread failures in as little as one year — making it a clear risk for business performance and reliability.
The quietest week your engineering team has ever had might also be its best. No alarms going off. No escalations. No frantic Teams or Slack threads at 2 a.m. Everything humming along exactly as it should. And somewhere in a leadership meeting, someone looks at the metrics dashboard, sees a flat line of incidents and says: "Seems like things are pretty calm over there. Do we really need all those people?" ... I've spent many years in engineering, and this pattern keeps repeating ...
