Today’s enterprises rely on networked applications to conduct business. Poorly performing applications result in a loss of business productivity, impacting the bottom line. Yet performance problems with production applications are common, and new application deployments are often delayed, or even fail, due to performance issues.

OPNET’s ACE Analyst provides effective performance management throughout the application life cycle. ACE Analyst embeds expert knowledge about how applications, servers, and networks interact, providing a comprehensive understanding of the end-to-end performance of networked applications. Its powerful, intuitive analysis environment enables application pre-deployment certification, validates planned changes, and accelerates troubleshooting performance problems in production applications.
Leverage extensive coverage across your entire network with unlimited secure capture agents provided free with ACE Analyst.
