1. Gomez provides a unified view of the entire application delivery chain, eliminating blind spots from the "first mile" (your data center) to the "last mile" (your users), so you can optimize your application performance and measure the business impact of performance issues.

 

Gomez is the only solution that covers the entire application delivery chain, from the browser on a real user’s computer or mobile device, across the Internet or a corporate WAN, across third-party and cloud providers, to the infrastructure running inside data centers. This “First Mile to Last Mile” solution alerts you to application performance issues, prioritizes them based on their business impact and isolates their root causes so you can ensure your business-critical applications perform optimally. This solution works for any type of user and any type of application, including enterprise applications accessed by employees, e-commerce web sites visited by customers or applications running on mobile devices.

Gomez allows you to test from:

The Last Mile — 150,000+ global locations (synthetic monitoring and web load testing)

• The only global network of 150,000+ testing locations that operates at the “edge of the Internet” — on consumer-grade computers behind local ISPs and mobile carriers — to provide real-world web monitoring and web load testing.
• Provides the only way to gain broad geographic insight into real-world performance issues, including the impact of bandwidth, CDNs, cloud providers, local ISPs and wireless carriers.
• Delivers the only way to generate real-world load to test your web application performance across CDNs, third-party providers, cloud services, locals ISPs, etc.

Your actual users’ browsers and mobile devices (browser real-user monitoring)

• A lightweight tag running directly in your users’ browsers and mobile applications provides passive, real-user monitoring and collects data from all of your actual users, including customers accessing e-commerce sites or employees using browser-based applications.
• Provides comprehensive, real-user performance data, including the performance impact of browsers, mobile devices, third-party providers, CDNs, cloud providers, etc.

The Internet Backbone — 150+ global locations (synthetic backbone monitoring and web load testing)

• Enterprise-grade servers running in 150+ high-bandwidth data centers around the globe on the “Internet Backbone.”
• Provides the most reliable way to synthetically monitor your web application regularly to ensure it is running at top speed and availability.
• Instantly notifies you of any performance or availability issues.
• Generates high-volume load from the cloud, including both HTTP and browser-level traffic, to load test your web applications.

Your enterprise — any office or location (synthetic monitoring)  

• Use private agents strategically placed in your enterprise to synthetically monitor application performance for any business-critical applications, including those from Oracle, Microsoft, SAP, IBM, etc.
• Ensure optimal application performance for users in any location — headquarters, remote offices, partners, suppliers, etc.

Every transaction 24/7 — in production, test or development (dynaTrace)

• Through the power of dynaTrace, a division of Compuware, and its PurePath Technology®, trace every transaction from the complex interactions in a user’s browser to the multiple tiers in your data center, in development, test or production.
• Identify performance issues down to the specific line of code.

The First Mile — your data center (data center real-user monitoring and infrastructure and component analysis)

• A single device monitors all real-user traffic for any application or user — including employees and customers using web, non-web, mobile or cloud applications — to identify performance issues experienced by users.
• Trace and analyze transactions across an unlimited number of tiers to deep-dive diagnose root causes in context of the end-user experience.
• Monitor Java and .NET applications down to the method level to identify root causes.
• Manage application performance in complex infrastructures, with complete visibility into all network segments and data center components in both physical and virtualized environments.
• Measure user experience in Riverbed and Cisco WAAS-optimized WAN environments with a nonintrusive approach.
• Integrate data from third-party monitoring products and correlate with end-user experience to leverage existing investments.


2. Gomez supports the broadest set of applications, browsers and devices so you can optimize the performance of all your applications with one solution.

 

The Gomez solution allows you to optimize performance and functionality for all of your business-critical applications, including web, non-web, mobile, streaming and cloud applications. You can ensure that employees using internal enterprise applications on a WAN, customers accessing e-commerce web sites or anyone using any commercial browser or mobile device will enjoy optimal application performance. No other offering covers as many applications, browsers and mobile devices as Gomez.


3. Gomez provides the most actionable deep-dive diagnostics so you can resolve issues in the shortest amount of time.

Gomez provides deep-dive diagnostics so you can rapidly identify the root cause of an issue and resolve it. Whether your performance problem is in your network, a Java or .NET method call, a virtual infrastructure, an ISP, a CDN, a cloud provider or a browser or mobile device, Gomez provides the most actionable deep-dive diagnostics to speed resolution of the problem.

4. Only Compuware unifies the application performance life cycle.

 

Compuware unifies your application performance life cycle to break down the walls between your business, Development, QA and Operations teams. Your business, Development and Operations teams will have a common set of metrics and a common view of application performance — focused on the end-user experience — to prioritize issues and plans. Your Development, QA and Operations teams will use a common set of tools, data and diagnostics so they all speak the same language. If an issue is discovered with a transaction, every group can share the same files and data. This eliminates the need to reproduce problems and provides a fast, common way to identify, analyze and resolve issues. The end result: You save time and money when optimizing application performance.
