Tango/04 Computing Group, the European leader in Enterprise Monitoring software, has been positioned by Gartner, Inc., the world's leading information technology research and advisory company, in its 2009 Magic Quadrant for IT Event Correlation and Analysis* research report.

What is the Magic Quadrant?

The Magic Quadrant is a graphical representation of a marketplace at and for a specific time period (in this case, IT Event Correlation and Analysis from July 2008 to July 2009). It depicts Gartner's analysis of how certain vendors measure against criteria for that specific marketplace, as defined by Gartner.

Why did Gartner, Inc. choose Tango/04 to be part of its Magic Quadrant for IT Event Correlation and Analysis?

Agent Coverage
In Gartner, Inc.'s report Tango/04 received recognition for its "Good breadth of coverage with specific agents that provide granular depth for monitoring databases and business applications, and can also integrate with other vendors' agents." *

Extended Usability

Tango/04's VISUAL Message Center received good comments for being "more often used for BSM, rather than for infrastructure- or component-focused ECA" and for having extended its usability "beyond BSM to business process monitoring and service-level management." *

Real-Time Control

Among Tango/04's strengths, Gartner, Inc. highlighted its capacity to present "a real-time, dynamic calculation of the business impact cost of a component incident to the operator to better prioritize support resources, without the need to define weights or costs for each component."*

Integrated Monitoring

The information technology research and advisory company highlighted how "Tango/04 gets credit for strong strategy and vision relative to security event integration, with many production deployments already incorporating SIEM."*

What does this positioning mean to Tango/04?

The Gartner positioning is a highly valued recognition for all the work and effort that we've been doing for years and for our perseverance in pursuing the goal we defined the day we started to walk this path: to be the best monitoring company in the world.

Companies from all around the globe, from different sectors and industries, acknowledge and value our solutions, and now an important information technology research and advisory company has joined in this recognition.
