Theresa Lanowitz, Research Director, Gartner Group, Inc: "[...] AVIcode is the first software company we've seen that combines predevelopment/AD group and post-development group thinking in its products. Typically, the predevelopment group says it has done what it is supposed to do and passes the application on to the production staff, and communication between these two groups is informal or nonexistent. AVIcode's Intercept Studio provides nonintrusive monitoring of AD tools and enables software defects to be detected, tracked and resolved through the development process. AVIcode's tool enables both ends of the development process to understand where and why defects occur. [...] Developers responsible for the health and management of their enterprise's applications should consider AVIcode's innovative technology for detecting and reporting application faults in interconnected systems exploiting .NET. For a young company, it has effective marketing and mature products" [from "Cool Vendors in Application Development", 23 March 2004]

 

David Hamilton, Director, Enterprise Management Division at Microsoft Corporation: "Microsoft welcomes the integration of AVIcode's Intercept Studio with Microsoft Operations Manager. The self-automation and self-healing capabilities of MOM 2005, a part of the Dynamic Systems Initiative, will help organizations focus on aligning their IT environments with business goals."

 

Ashley Owen, Director of Product Marketing, SERENA Software, Inc.: "AVIcode Intercept Studio, integrated with Serena Dimensions for Microsoft .NET, further automates and dramatically reduces the traditional production break-fix approach for applications built on the Microsoft .NET framework. By detecting application failures in production, and automatically capturing and routing the detailed root-cause analysis to the appropriate development team working within Dimensions for Microsoft .NET, production downtime is minimized and rapid closed-loop resolution facilitated."

 

Carl Dichter, Architect, MSN Operations: "Intercept successfully told us exactly where exceptions were firing, and also gave us the ability to ignore exception types we knew about. Consolidating errors and drilling down into specific exceptions and the code causing them was quite simple. Further evaluations by our tools group will determine whether this tool is appropriate for continuous monitoring. This will include proving that it has low-overhead (CPU, memory and other resources), meets security requirements, integrates well with MOM 2005, has reasonable cost/value, and provides useful data not available elsewhere. Assuming that evaluation goes well, then it would probably be a good idea to use Intercept on at least one server of each function." [reporting on MSN's evaluation of Intercept Studio]

 

George K. Grous, Chief Technology Officer, Odimo Inc. (Diamond.com, ashford.com, World of Watches): "If you are doing any .NET development no shop should be without AVIcode Intercept Studio. It helps you track down problems quickly. You will have to eval the product to truly appreciate the benefits." [Letter to WindowsITPro]

 

"Clal Insurance needed an in-production, application monitoring solution to help improve application support processes," explains Hanoch Ben-David, Clal Insurance Group's CTO. "We previously had invested in Identify's AppSight, but found it could not meet our monitoring needs. As a result, we have chosen AVIcode's technology to fill in our monitoring gaps and provide us with real-time, always-on monitoring of our production applications."

 

Charles J. Smith, Computer Science Corporation Consulting Group Partner: "We have found AVIcode Intercept to be an invaluable tool for finding and eliminating deep-rooted code defects which are not detected via extensive functional testing and design reviews. Without Intercept, we would have to develop complex and costly tracing and monitoring components ourselves, which would delay successful application deployments. AVIcode Intercept and the expert team at AVIcode are clearly the leaders in Microsoft .NET performance and monitoring tools."

 

Christopher Flores, Group Product Manager, .NET Developer Product Marketing Group at Microsoft Corporation: Microsoft is pleased that AVIcode has broadened the scope of its solutions to support smart client applications. By giving developers access to application performance data, AVIcode is enabling them to have a more connected development experience."

 

Wayne Boykin, Executive Vice President, Tolt Technologies Service Group: "We are very impressed with Intercept Studio's monitoring capabilities."

 

Gary Norton, Chief Technology Officer, broadGap Technologies: "When testing proof of concept ideas and code snippets I have found it much easier to just skip any error handling at all and let the test code crash as it will. AVIcode captures all relevant variable information and stack trace info that I need to fix most errors. This saves me the time of tediously debugging code with the .NET Debugger. I don't have to step through code line-by-line and check values to track down tricky bugs nearly as much as I used to."

 

Ann Quinn, Managing Director, Maryland Venture Fund: "Microsoft's reach in the .NET marketplace, coupled with AVIcode's innovation and expertise in intelligent agent fault management software, creates a partnership ideally suited to significantly reducing the cost of ownership of .NET applications. The result is a suite of integrated products that uniquely bridges the gap between operations management and application development."

 

 

Peter Campbell, Information Systems Coordinator, Office of the Dean, College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Oregon: "Before Intercept Studio, the users just had to live with the bugs."
Kim Evans, Manager of Emerging Markets and Strategic Investments, Windows Enterprise Management Division, Microsoft Corporation: "The use of Intercept Studio and Microsoft's Operations Manager 2005 ("MOM 2005") together geometrically increases the value of MOM 2005."
