Today, Quest Software announced that the company's industry-leading
Foglight® solution is positioned in the leaders quadrant of the 2012
Gartner Magic Quadrant for Application
Performance Monitoring (APM), a report issued on August 16, 2012 by

As hybrid cloud computing, virtualization, mobile and
software-as-a-service-based applications continue to gain momentum in
business, monitoring the health and performance of applications is
critical to business success. Quest Software's Foglight
solution makes it easy for enterprise IT teams to proactively identify
and diagnose application design or performance issues before they
adversely impact end users and the business.

News Facts:
-
Gartner positions Quest Software in the leaders quadrant in the 2012
Magic Quadrant for APM.
-
Gartner evaluated 15 vendors on their "ability to execute" and
"completeness of vision," requiring each vendor meet all five APM
dimensions.
-
Quest continues to take a fully integrated approach to the five
dimensions of APM as identified by Gartner: end-user experience
monitoring; user-defined transaction profiling; application component
discovery, modeling and display; application component deep dive
monitoring in application context; and analytics.
-
This report comes after Quest's recent introduction of Foglight for
Windows Azure? Applications, a SaaS performance monitoring solution
based on Windows Azure. SaaS support was a criterion for inclusion in
the Gartner 2012 MQ.

regularly tell us that our unique differentiators, particularly as they
