SaaS solution leaders have known for years that performance problems can impact customer experience and have a huge impact on revenues, renewals, brand perception and overall user satisfaction. Companies like Salesforce.com and Amazon have elevated their performance as a point of differentiation, and they publish regular reports on it.

In a SaaS environment, users are typically dispersed across different geographies and leverage an extremely wide range of technologies including ISPs, desktops and browsers. Any one of these points in the application delivery chain can impact performance.

The Aberdeen Group’s research found that a one-second delay in response time can reduce satisfaction by 16 percent; and recent Gomez research shows that almost half of users expressed a less positive perception of a company overall after a single bad experience. With so much at stake, SaaS providers can’t afford to have performance become a barrier to user adoption or new business.
