Corporations and government agencies around the world rely on networked applications to conduct day-to-day business. Anything that interrupts or impedes performance of business-critical applications can directly impact revenue, productivity and/or customer services. SNMP utilization statistics are no longer sufficient – without visibility into all application traffic, companies simply can not make informed business decisions.

The Broadest Application Visibility 
The NetScout Solution recognizes, discovers, and monitors all the applications in your network – both those used for the business services and for recreational purposes – delivering the most complete picture of the network and the applications that traverse it.

nGenius Performance Manager monitors and supports:

• More than 200 well-known applications
• Complex applications that use a range of ports, such as SAP, Citrix or .NET
• Custom applications designed specifically for your business
• Broadcast, multicast and unicast applications
• Web-based applications identified by URLs
• Next-generation communication applications, such as VoIP, video, instant messaging, and peer to peer

Why NetScout?  
The NetScout Solution provides the most comprehensive visibility into how applications are being used, who is using them, and how they impact total network performance, allowing IT staff to:

• Lower MTTR by being able to monitor not only every application, host and conversation side by side on the same screen or report, but also response time performance
• Optimize the network to prioritize business-critical applications over recreation use
• Improve application response times, manage bandwidth more effectively, or establish QoS policies
• Make better informed decisions about the applications that drive the business by having the quantifiable proof you need to gain executive support
