Here’s what the industry is saying about the Gomez Platform Summer ‘09 Release:
Gomez’s new recorder is the only technology I’ve seen that most accurately records Web 2.0/AJAX transactions and then monitors Web performance in multiple browsers. With the deep insight it provides, we can easily identify opportunities to optimize Web application performance across our entire platform.

Gomez’s latest platform release provides increased visibility of the end-user experience in real-time, increased flexibility for synthetic transaction configuration, and monitoring of complex RIA and Web 2.0 applications.

The proliferation of browser platforms, continuing geographical diversity of Internet users, and increasing sophistication of Internet applications — that go way beyond simple web pages — has combined to raise the bar from old style web monitoring tools to newer Internet application performance suites.
Daniel Golding, VP and Research Director, Tier1 Research
The convergence and expansion of complex Web-based applications and devices in the enterprise creates new challenges for mobile and Web testing organizations to deliver high performing, available, and always on solutions for highly mobile and connected users. Our research shows that performance testing resources are at a premium. Solutions such as Gomez that help deliver much needed technology across the increasingly complex Web application delivery chain provide much needed visibility and insight and enable the business to deliver on its strategic goals.
Theresa Lanowitz, Founder, voke, inc.
One of the most challenging aspects about running complex Web applications is the time it takes to identify the root cause of a problem and resolve it. By presenting a collective, real-time view of the aggregate heath of all tests running across the entire Gomez network, we can immediately see if an issue is ours, a vendor’s, or the Internet’s, which dramatically speeds time to resolution. This dashboard is like Christmas in July.

As we continue our expansion into the US market with our award-winning mobile flirting service, we need to be very certain that we deliver a high-quality mobile Web experience to our online community abroad. Gomez’s mobile monitoring solution provides valuable visibility, helping us track our mobile Web performance across multiple US carriers and remotely identifying and troubleshooting any issues.
