Compuware Corporation announced a new release of the Compuware APM, Gomez software-as-a-service (SaaS) solution.
This new release further simplifies application performance management (APM) at the edge of the internet for web, mobile, streaming and cloud applications, enabling organizations to optimize end-user experience and improve business results.
With the new Compuware Gomez 2012 Release, Compuware continues to tame complexity at the edge with an easy to deploy SaaS APM solution that ensures rapid ROI.
New capabilities include:
Industry's Most Comprehensive Mobile WebKit Support: The new Gomez Mobile WebKit's mobile browser agent and test script recorder provides the most accurate representation of end users' mobile web experiences by supporting the very latest mobile technologies. Now organizations can deliver cutting-edge experiences while ensuring optimal mobile web application performance and availability.
The new WebKit based browser agent and recorder supports:
- the latest HTML5 and JavaScript frameworks
- custom, user-defined and node-based locations to simulate end-users' geographies and deliver tailored content based on location
- touch events including tap, swipe and span
- switch orientation, enabling organizations to rotate and change the orientation of the simulated device
Enhanced Gomez User Experience Management (UEM): Compuware Gomez UEM provides comprehensive insight into the end-user experience.
- New Gomez UEM Industry Index: enables customers to baseline and compare their actual users' performance and behavior with industry averages. The industry index is visualized in Gomez UEM's user satisfaction map with drill-down comparisons by region, state and city, and for all browsers, devices and operating systems. For each dimension performance metrics are correlated with user behavior, satisfaction and business metrics (i.e., conversion and abandonment rates), providing a unique and strategic way to prioritize and target performance optimization.
- New Automatic Tag Injection: now available with Gomez UEM for web and mobile pages through the integration with the Compuware dynaTrace server plug-in. This gives organizations more options and flexibility in how they deploy Gomez UEM tags. Additionally, the dynaTrace server plug-in provides more granular server diagnostics to quickly isolate the root cause of application performance problems.
Gomez Synthetic Streaming offers rate-limited profiles for non-adaptive streams.
New IPv6 Support for Gomez Synthetic Monitoring—Private Last Mile: This new IPv6 support gives organizations the ability proactively test application performance and the end-user experience impact of IPv6 from dedicated machines located anywhere inside or outside their network.
"Increasing complexity at the edge of the internet is making it more and more difficult to deliver great user experiences at a time when end-user expectations are rising", said Jeff Loeb, Global Marketing Vice President of Compuware's APM business unit. "The new Gomez release provides our customers with a new generation APM system that makes it easier than ever to manage Web, mobile and streaming applications from the end user's perspective."

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 ...
