Spec score 8.4 #5 of 26 in Network Performance Monitoring Software

What it is

AppNeta is Broadcom’s monitoring product for real-time, end-user-focused visibility across networks, applications, and locations. It combines active synthetic tests with passive packet visibility across on-premises, cloud, hybrid, and ISP environments. Delivery Monitoring measures network paths and runs diagnostics; Experience Monitoring simulates user actions and API or web-service requests through browser and HTTP workflows; Usage Monitoring uses deep packet inspection, a library of more than 2,000 application definitions, and packet capture. Monitoring Points can be deployed and managed remotely for distributed sites. Named use cases include SD-WAN and ISP validation. Intelligent Alarms can send filtered high-severity alerts through webhooks to systems such as ServiceNow, while data can integrate with DX NetOps. SaaS documentation states encrypted communications and packet captures, U.S. data processing, annual SOC 2 Type II audits, semiannual penetration tests, and a 99% availability target.
