- January 18, 2007 Heroix,
a leading provider of application performance monitoring
and management software, today announced that its
Longitude agentless monitoring software has been
named one of the "Products of the Year" by the editors
of TechTarget's Windows Media Group. Longitude won
the Bronze award in the Windows Server Monitoring
Category, one of just nine awards given earlier
this week.
Award winners were selected by a panel of TechTarget
editors, users, industry experts, analysts, and
consultants based on these seven criteria: innovation,
performance, ease of integration into existing
environments, ease of use and manageability, functionality,
value and support. "What most impressed the judges
is that Longitude is agentless, yet full-featured,
application and system monitoring and reporting
software," stated the announcement. "Through Event
Correlation, it conveys the business impact of
technical issues by combining events across different
applications, databases, servers and platforms
… In addition, SLA (Service Level Agreement) Monitoring,
Reporting & Events show performance from a business
perspective and help IT organizations anticipate
user as well as management issues."
"Heroix is pleased to be named as one of the
Products of the Year," said Heroix CEO and Founder
Howard Reisman. "With Longitude, we have been
able to capture the best of both worlds and deliver
the comprehensiveness and robustness normally
found in expensive, agent-based products, with
the ease, simplicity and lower cost of agentless
software. Longitude enables IT organizations to
manage their mission critical applications and
get a true picture of performance from a service
level perspective. Plus, it deploys instantly, gives immediate monitoring results and performs its own ongoing maintenance tasks, freeing IT staff for more strategic initiatives."
Offering an integrated approach to monitoring
IT performance and Service Level Agreements, Longitude
provides reporting, alerting, automated correction,
and SLA monitoring for applications, servers,
IT infrastructure, networks, and SNMP devices
to help companies ensure optimal business performance.
Heroix recently introduced Longitude V4, which
provides increased control of IT performance management
activities from a centralized monitoring console.
Quick troubleshooting and diagnostics can be achieved
using the enhanced event monitoring capabilities
and a newly added real time statistics dashboard.
Longitude V4 expands performance monitoring coverage
to any SNMP-based devices via an intuitive graphical
studio, and also adds consolidation of Windows
Event logs, as well as a new archived report portal.
Pricing and Availability
Longitude V4 is available now. The pricing for basic OS monitoring starts at $299 per monitored system. Heroix offers a 14-day free trial of Longitude as well as an online Flash demo.
