Braintree, MA April 25, 2008 -- Heroix (Heroix homepage), a leading provider of agentless application performance and network monitoring software, today announced its Longitude software has been named "Best of the Tests 2008" by Network World. The company's flagship agentless monitoring software, Longitude, enables IT organizations to improve application and network performance and monitor service level agreements (SLAs), without requiring software to be installed on each server.

Each year, Network World looks back at the previous year of product testing and acknowledges the highest scoring products within specific categories based on performance, ease of use and feature functionality. Longitude earned the "Best of the Tests" moniker in the Network Management category based on testing by members of Network World's Lab Alliance, and was cited in the review for its broad monitoring coverage: "… the product does a superior job of monitoring a wide range of applications and operating environments." Longitude was one of 12 products selected from more than 170 tested for Network World.

Longitude takes an agentless approach to reporting, alerting, automated corrective action, SLA monitoring and user experience monitoring for applications, servers, IT infrastructure, networks, and SNMP devices (Longitude product information). Its streamlined architecture and Web-based user interface provide performance monitoring that is both broad and deep, without requiring any software installation on the monitored computers. Simple deployment, event consolidation and correlation, and automated corrective action help ensure optimal performance and maximum availability of business applications with minimal effort.
