How is APM used to monitor application performance?

The baseline can then be used to detect changes in performance. Changes in performance can be correlated with external events and subsequently used to predict future changes in application performance. The use of APM is common for Web applications, which lends itself best to the more detailed monitoring techniques.

When did APM enter a period of intense competition?

Application analytics (AA). Since the first half of 2013, APM has entered into a period of intense competition of technology and strategy with a multiplicity of vendors and viewpoints.

What was the purpose of the APM conceptual framework?

The APM Conceptual Framework was designed to help prioritize an approach on what to focus on first for a quick implementation and overall understanding of the five-dimensional APM model. The framework slide outlines three areas of focus for each dimension and describes their potential benefits.
