Visual One Intelligence vs. APMs


Highly Complex

Getting full APM value often requires specialized developers or administrators, with important functions presenting a learning curve.

Resource-Intensive

APMs tend to consume a lot of memory, CPU, and disk space, counteracting attempts to make infrastructure sleaker and more efficient.

Too Expensive

APM costs can spiral quickly, with complicated licensing that is often based on data ingestion instead of raw storage.


Whereas APM tools typically only scratch the surface of infrastructure resources, focusing instead on other layers of IT like applications and networks, IM tools zero in on hybrid infrastructure performance and cost management.

APM and IM tools work together with – but cannot replace – each other. For example, APM tools provide insights into application performance but cannot identify and prevent the root causes of infrastructure performance problems (like IM tools do).

Visual One customers who have also used APM tools estimate they would need three fulltime employees on an APM to accomplish what Visual One Intelligence can do for them.
