Identify Software Named a "Cool Vendor" by Leading Analyst Firm
Vendor Selection Based on Innovation, Market Impact and Intrigue
NEW YORK, April 13, 2005 – Identify Software, the leader in application problem resolution software, has been included in "Cool Vendors in Application Development, 2005" a report published March 30, by Gartner, Inc. The report states that this year’s seven cool vendors provide innovative tools supporting quality application development from requirements definition through collaborative activities, testing and maintenance.
"As globally distributed application delivery models gain popularity, it has become typical that applications are running in one geographic location while a maintenance team is in another one (sometimes, in another hemisphere),” states Joseph Feiman, vice president and research director at Gartner Research, in the report. "To fix an application execution problem, a maintenance team has to recreate it, which is a time- and effort-consuming process, usually complicated by inadequacy between recreated and original execution environments.”
Identify’s AppSight Black Box software technology monitors application execution and captures a synchronized, real-time log of user actions, system events, performance metrics, configuration data, and code execution flow – much like the "black box” flight recorder on an aircraft captures a real-time record of a flight. The AppSight Black Box log can be replayed and analyzed to quickly pinpoint the root cause of all kinds of application problems, whether related to performance, configuration issues, user mistakes, or code errors. Because AppSight allows IT professionals to simply replay, rather than recreate the problem, it eliminates up to 70 percent of the cycle time traditionally consumed by root cause analysis.
"Over 500 customers have turned to Identify to solve a painful and costly problem that affects virtually every IT organization,” said Identify CEO Yochi Slonim. "This acknowledgement by Gartner demonstrates both the strength of our product offering and the ubiquitous need to improve application management processes for critical business applications.”
