- Data-to-Everything Platform company Splunk Inc. (NASDAQ: SPLK) announced recently that it has acquired application performance monitoring company Plumbr and digital experience monitoring company Rigor
Data-to-Everything Platform company Splunk Inc. (NASDAQ: SPLK) announced that it has completed the acquisition of Plumbr, an application performance monitoring (APM) company offering auto-instrumentation, Real User Monitoring, and deep application performance insights for enterprise applications. And Splunk also announced that it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Rigor, which is a digital experience monitoring (DEM) company offering advanced synthetic monitoring and optimization tools.
With both acquisitions and product integrations, Splunk will significantly expand its APM and DEM capabilities. And the combined power of Splunk’s Observability Suite will ultimately give customers a seamless and end-to-end observability experience to help guide them across both cloud and on-premises environments as well as the software architecture transformations occurring with applications.
Plumbr is known for offering advanced instrumentation, profiling, and Real User Monitoring (RUM) capabilities — which are critical to monitoring Java, PHP, Python and .Net applications. And the addition of Plumbr’s technology to Splunk’s Observability Suite gives customers unprecedented monitoring and troubleshooting of existing applications, as well as RUM, database monitoring, and code profiling capabilities.
Rigor delivers a unique DEM platform that combines the power of synthetic monitoring with an intelligent optimization engine to help customers find, fix, and prevent web and API performance issues impacting user experiences. And Rigor’s solutions can complement Splunk’s newly announced RUM offering as part of the company’s best-in-class Observability Suite.
