Setting the Bar for Innovation

J2EE Application Server Management Magic Quadrant.¹ According
to Gartner, Inc., Leaders are performing well today, have
a clear vision of market direction and are actively building
competencies to sustain their leadership position in the
market.
Reinforcing that positioning, Wily introduced three new
products in the quarter. Significant milestones included
new versions of Wily Introscope®, the dominant application
monitoring and management tool. Those Introscope releases
featured Wily SmartStor™, which records 100 percent of
the data reported to Introscope and makes it available for
viewing in customized dashboards or in easy-to-read reports
for problem solving, problem replay, trend analysis and capacity
planning. Performance of every application component can
be viewed in real time or can be replayed from any time period
for up to a year. The company also shipped Wily Browser Response
Time (BRT) Adapter™ for monitoring Web application response
to end-user browser requests. Wily's BRT Adapter is the first
performance monitor to provide full, component-level transaction
visibility from the browser to back-end systems with no hardware,
no synthetic transactions, no application code changes, no
security risk and with low overhead.
