Specifically, Aternity outranked all other vendors in delivering the strongest overall technology and had the highest degree of cost effectiveness.
• Most Comprehensive Endpoint Diagnostics - This overall award recognizes Aternity's "distinctive approach to End User Experience Management". As stated in the report, "...Aternity delivers a level of visibility to the experience of internal users that is difficult to match with other EUE technologies."
