Every step in the APM tooldevelopment in recent years has been towardsthis weeding out performance bottlenecks andensuring roaring performance of the app._____ 4. But what if yournetwork looks likethis?Your app is only as fast as the network.Irrespective of whether you have a Porsche or aFerrari you would be only as fast as the carahead of you when you are stuck in traffic._____ 5. End-user-experiencewill be hitIn such a situation, if you have deployed a SAASbased APM tool it would report back the end userexperience levels across your various branchoffices as AFFECTED or POOR.
