These providers have recently been named major players in Application Performance Monitoring by analyst house Gartner, Inc.

Gartner defines the application performance monitoring market as “software that facilitates application monitoring to meet three main functional dimensions.” In the latest version of the company’s Magic Quadrant for Application Performance Monitoring, those three dimensions are front-end monitoring, application discovery, tracing, and diagnostics (ADTD), and analytics. The report, which highlights and scores the top products in the industry, features four tools as being cornerstones in the space. In an interesting turn of events, the same four vendors that topped the 2019 report also lead the 2020 version, solidifying how well those providers handle application performance monitoring needs.

The following providers have recently been named leaders in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Application Performance Monitoring. Each provider’s market share and product portfolios differ, which is what makes them interesting to the wider audience of cloud consumers. Niche and emerging vendors can only hope to replicate the kind of market presence that these providers have earned over a sustained period of time.
