Provides an accurate view into the user experience for Siebel Open UI and Java
Because Germain APM is capable of collecting and parsing data points from many areas (O/S, database, application logs, browser clicks, network devices, etc.) one can quickly overwhelm their Germain infrastructure. This is not so much an area of improvement for the product but more for clients to keep in mind so that they size their Germain infrastructure properly.

Real-time monitoring has improved our banking API performance and supports detailed business transaction analysis
The real-time monitoring is what we can see for anything that is needed in terms of CPU, memory, or the connections or the sessions related. It's real-time monitoring of performance of each of the components, which is what we need and use all the time. It's highly effective, I would say. Infrastructure visibility, transaction monitoring, to check the actual user experience in terms of the response time, MRT and all those things. We do the component monitoring like the API performance and the connections and all those things, but we also do the business process monitoring and business transaction monitoring.
