More and more business startups are turning to the world of app
development due to their ever-growing popularity. Cloud computing technologies,
for a lot of startups, make this possible, but they don't provide enough close
monitoring and reporting to give developers enough peace of mind. Application
performance monitoring tools, on the other hand, fit right into a management
strategy and don't leave developers with the worry that they're going to lose
all their hard work. In fact, in this situation, application monitoring tools
have many benefits to offer.
Reduced
Launch Time
In order for app development startups to hit the ground running, they
need to be able to reach their broader target demographics as quickly as
possible. Application
monitoring software makes it easier to launch a product into its market rapidly by
eliminating the need for in-house integration, which is extremely
time-consuming and often confusing. Reduced launch time, for a startup, means
better competitive positioning.
Potential
for Third-Party Monitoring
Some types of application monitoring software allow for the possibility
of third-party monitoring as opposed to the traditional in-house solution. The
third-party monitoring solution allows the team to keep track of an
applications performance, provider outages, computational errors, and the like.
This helps the developers to be more on-top of app functioning so that they can
provide the service they promise to provide, whether they promise fast speeds,
low computing power, or any other number of things.
Cost-Efficiency
Application monitoring solutions, when purchased as "software as a
service," has been shown to help cut costs by up to 60% per year. This is
because problems are getting fixed more quickly, reducing profit loss; apps are
getting launched more quickly, lengthening the amount of time they're on the
market; and a number of other factors. Since keeping overheads as low as
possible is the most important way to remain competitive (and successful) as a
startup, this is a huge benefit for any company. Those thousands of dollars
saved could go to making app improvements, working on the next version, or
executing new ideas.
