Achieve Greater Visibility Across all Types of Desktop Apps

Today’s legacy applications tend to be the driver for businesses to achieve revenue goals. The challenge is that not all applications are built the same and many legacy applications don’t have modern APIs or connections to enable complete monitoring of these applications. The result is legacy applications that create monitoring black holes with no visibility. Apica Desktop Application Check (DAC) offers critical performance monitoring across Windows Desktops, Terminal Applications and Legacy Systems to close all monitoring black holes.
