Gartner has released the Criteria for the 2014 Magic Quadrant for Application Performance Monitoring.
Jonah Kowall and Will Cappelli will be conducting the research for the report that is expected to be released in the 4th quarter of 2014. Surveys will be sent to vendors next week.
Requirements for the 2014 APM Magic Quadrant include:
■ The vendor’s APM product must include all five dimensions of APM (EUM, application topology discovery and visualization, user-defined transaction profiling, application component deep dive, and IT operations analytics).
■ The APM product must provide compiled Java and .NET code instrumentation in a production environment.
■ Customer references must be located in at least three of the following geographic locations: North America, South America, EMEA, the Asia/Pacific region and/or Japan.
■ The vendor should have at least 50 customers that use its APM product actively in a production environment.
■ The vendor references must confirm they are monitoring at least 200 production application server instances in a production environment.
■ Some features of the APM offering must be available via a SaaS delivery model.
■ The product must be shipping to end-user clients for production deployment and designated with general availability by July 15th 2014.
■ Total revenue (including new licenses, updates, maintenance, subscriptions, SaaS, hosting and technical support) must have exceeded $5 million in calendar year 2013.
While a vendor may meet the inclusion criteria for the APM Magic Quadrant, placement within the finalized Magic Quadrant will depend on its scoring in a number of categories.
The above is just a sampling of the criteria. For the full criteria click the link below.
