Core-to-Cloud IT Operational Clarity
Observer® Apex leverages End-User Experience Scoring and advanced threat intelligence to deliver unified, comprehensive visibility into IT resource health and status.
When service problems do arise or potential security issues are detected, efficient workflows lead IT teams quickly to root cause and resolution.
Built-in security features like real-time threat mapping, host/device traffic profiling, and threat hunting aids IT teams when passive security initiatives like firewalls, IDS/IPS, and SIEMs are circumvented.
Know Your Network Like Never Before
Know Your Network Like Never Before
What’s connected? Who is talking on the network? What are they saying? Log files and scanning IP addresses alone will not always provide the answer. Only Apex can do it by combining high-fidelity transaction, infrastructure, device, host, and user data then applying advanced analytics and machine learning.
Metadata and underlying records are retained for extended periods of time to power real-time intelligence or post-event investigations.
Introducing Observer v18
Now, with the release of Observer v18, packet and enriched flow data now coexist in Observer Apex. This means all levels of expertise access to various tiers of IT visibility, using their preferred data sources for QoS measurements, baselining, capacity planning, and more. This single, integrated interface improves operational efficiencies through boosted data quality, intuitive visualizations, and simplified workflows for any level of IT user.

Site Dashboards and Workflows
Site Dashboards and Workflows
Geolocation-based dashboards provide global intelligence of IT service health at the regional, country, city, or data center levels, with even more granularity to individual service groups such as accounting. When combined with End-User Experience Scoring, IT teams can gain instant world-wide situational awareness of all resources and then, when required, quickly drill down to an individual user for rapid problem resolution.
End-User Experience Scoring
End-User Experience Scoring
Apex removes the guesswork from assessing user satisfaction using patented analytics powered with machine learning to accurately measure all conversations. Each is scored between 0 to 10 using color coding and grading to represent performance from the user’s perspective taking into account unique environmental and application behavior to eliminate false positives.
Scores provide visibility into a single user’s experience or can be expanded to view groups of users defined by site, geolocation, or other constructs as needed. Apex takes this a step further by isolating the problem to the network, client, server, or application domain with easy-to-understand problem statements.
On-Demand Multi-Tier Application Intelligence
On-Demand Multi-Tier Application Intelligence
On-demand application dependency mapping offers fast discovery of app interdependencies and ad hoc rendering of maps visualizing these complex relationships with clarity. With a single mouse-click, Apex generates the entire map, and automatically determines the worst connections based on application and network delay threshold deviations. All connections are then sorted by status (critical, warning, and good), so users can quickly assign troubleshooting priority.

Threat Map with Security Workflows
Threat Map with Security Workflows
Integrated threat maps offers IT teams global, real-time visibility into the current security risk vectors that are potentially impacting IT resources and users. IT teams can quickly gain situational awareness and initiate rapid response actions with targeted workflows or hunting efforts based on severity assessments.
Host/Device Traffic Profiling
Host/Device Traffic Profiling
Define groups of critical or at-risk assets like point-of-sale or ATMs; then gain instant visibility via alerts when exception activities or sessions not defined in white list rules are detected on these existing or new devices.
IP Viewer
IP Viewer
By compiling Layer 2 to Layer 3 insights into a single enriched flow record, Observer can produce unique, interactive visualizations that illustrate the relationships between User, IP, MAC, and application usage in the network. A NetOps or SecOps user can simply enter a name enter in a username and immediately find all devices, interfaces, and applications associated with it. Finding out what’s connected and who’s communicating across your network has never been easier.
