The ACE Live Advantage:
Rapid, Integrated Troubleshooting

ACE Live uniquely features rapid, integrated, and detailed transaction-level troubleshooting with OPNET’s ACE Analyst, which is widely recognized as the industry’s most powerful analysis software for networked applications. ACE Analyst embeds expert knowledge about network protocols and application behavior as seen from a network perspective, providing a comprehensive understanding of the end-to-end performance of networked applications.

The combination of ACE Live and ACE Analyst enables you to identify that there are performance issues, perform triage across all transactions, and then analyze individual transactions to pinpoint and remedy the specific issue before it severely affects business operations. ACE Live and ACE Analyst are also used extensively in the pre-production or QA environment for proactive analysis of application performance, so problems can be detected and fixed before they are introduced into the production environment.
