Business Value SnapshotIDC White Paper | The Business Value and ROI Achieved with Riverbed in Analyzing, Diagnosing, and Resolving Application Performance Issues
“Riverbed has helped us remove the blame game because we can pinpoint things. We used to have to bring 10-15 people in to bring an app back up, and the discussion was ‘whose issue is
this?’ Now, when we have a problem, it’s only 2-3 people helping to solve the problem.”— Application manager at a large U.S. technology manufacturer
