Fulfilling The Promise Of Agentless Monitoring


With the introduction of Longitude®—a new agentless, multiplatform OS and application monitoring and reporting software product—Heroix combines the simplicity of agentless tools with the powerful performance monitoring and reporting features common in high-end enterprise monitoring products. The result? A cost-effective, quick-to-implement solution that helps users optimize the availability and performance of applications, databases, systems, messaging servers and IT infrastructures across Windows, Linux, and UNIX platforms. 

“Until now, agentless software monitoring products were known for their simplicity and cost savings benefits, but often lacked the ability to provide in-depth performance monitoring and reporting capabilities,” said Jasmine Noel, Founder, Ptak, Noel & Associates. “With the introduction of Longitude, Heroix has created a new niche by satisfying the market need for a product that combines the ease of use offered by agentless tools with the rich functionality common in high-end enterprise monitoring solutions.”

Longitude’s comprehensive functionality—including built-in graphical dashboard views with drill-down capability, and vibrant event displays based on 250+ vital operational metrics —helps IT personnel assess the “health” of business-critical applications. And, by enabling IT personnel to see the “big picture” in a historical performance context while simultaneously accessing micro-level details, Longitude helps you to anticipate and address performance and capacity problems before IT service levels are adversely affected. 

Furthermore, Longitude does this without the need to install software on every system, saving valuable staff time. This is a welcome relief to IT departments tasked with holding costs down even while meeting ever-increasing demands for IT environment reliability. 

Long on Benefits—From Day One.

Longitude’s streamlined agentless architecture and resulting scalability reduce complexity and save users time and money versus agent-based monitoring, while minimizing system and network overhead. One-hundred percent Web-enabled and Java-based, Longitude is based on industry standards, using technologies including WMI, SSH, Telnet, HTTP, rexec, JDBC, and JMX to collect performance data from Windows, Linux, and UNIX systems, databases, web and messaging servers, and J2EE applications. It’s even smart enough to do its own maintenance and software updates. The end result is a solution that is fast and portable, easily understood, has no proprietary software requirements, and requires minimal ongoing administration.

“First Day” Functionality Guarantee

Longitude requires little-to-no configuration and can be operational within 15 minutes—a promise that’s supported by Heroix’s “First Day or You Don’t Pay” program, which offers free six-month software subscriptions to qualified organizations for whom initial deployment exceeds one day.
