New Relic Recognized as a Leader in Gartner’s Magic Quadrant for Application Performance Monitoring Suites for Fourth Consecutive Year

SAN FRANCISCO--()--Software analytics company New Relic, Inc. (NYSE: NEWR) announced that the company has been recognized and positioned by Gartner as a leader for the fourth consecutive year in the December 2015 “Magic Quadrant for Application Performance Monitoring Suites” report by Cameron Haight, Will Cappelli, and Federico De Silva.

In the report, Gartner projects that “by 2020, 60 percent of Application Performance Monitoring (APM) buyers will reside outside of IT operations organizations, up from less than 35 percent today.” New Relic identified this trend early on and designed its solutions to deliver software analytics data to bridge multiple functions across an organization. Developers, IT operations, and business leaders all need to have the right data at their fingertips in order to make smarter decisions, be more responsive to customer demands, and deliver engaging customer experiences.

Another trend Gartner discusses in their report is that SaaS-based APM solutions are having a much bigger impact than ever. The firm notes that “releases of new products and features are occurring much more rapidly due to a combination of SaaS-based delivery models and the adoption of agile development methods.” Given New Relic is a pure, multi-tenant SaaS solution, customers can benefit from a rapid pace of innovation by the company.

“We are excited to be recognized for the fourth consecutive year as a Leader in Gartner’s Magic Quadrant for Application Performance Monitoring Suites,” said Lew Cirne, CEO and founder of New Relic. “It has been an important year for New Relic in our mission to advance the APM market to the cloud and help customers large and small make the most of software analytics. These efforts have never been more important given the critical role software plays for companies in relating to their customers. New Relic is dedicated to helping companies unlock the data from their software to achieve better application performance, customer experience, and business success.”

Notable recent milestones for New Relic and the software analytics market include:
