ExtraHop Debuts as
a Visionary in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Network Performance Monitoring
and Diagnostics

Leader in Real-Time
IT Analytics Positioned Furthest to the Right for Completeness of Vision

Singapore – February 28, 2017 – ExtraHop, the
leader in real-time IT analytics, today announced it has been recognised by
Gartner, Inc. in the Visionaries quadrant of the “Magic Quadrant for Network
Performance Monitoring and Diagnostics.”[1]

“ExtraHop is honored to be recognised as a Visionary, furthest to the
right of any vendor for Completeness of Vision,” said Arif Kareem, CEO,
ExtraHop. “We believe our placement in the Magic Quadrant acknowledges the
differentiation of our approach, as well as the transformation occurring within
IT. The era of infrastructure- and application-centric monitoring is over. The
digital business era has arrived, and it requires real-time IT analytics.”

According to Gartner analysts Sanjit Ganguli and Vivek Bhalla, “For
decades, the well-established practice of network management has enjoyed no
shortage of available monitoring technologies, tools and vendors; however, the
vast majority of those solutions, both acquired and implemented over the years,
have been designed to support isolated, reactive resolution of availability
issues by network specialists.”[2]

ExtraHop delivers
market-leading network performance monitoring, but that’s just the beginning.
ExtraHop has pioneered a fundamentally new way to observe and analyse digital
interactions to support data-driven enterprises. With real-time analytics and
machine learning, ExtraHop provides the most accurate and timely insight into
performance, availability and security — from infrastructure to the
application to the cloud — enabling IT teams to ensure seamless digital
experience.

“Our
vision has always been bold: transform IT from an infrastructure-centric
operation focused on components like servers and storage, to a data-driven one
focused on outcomes,” said Jesse Rothstein, co-founder and CTO of ExtraHop. “We
feel our placement as a Visionary confirms our perspective: the future
of performance monitoring is IT analytics.”

“Performance monitoring technologies were built to inform IT about
infrastructure performance,” said Ted Coons, General Partner at Technology
Crossover Ventures (TCV) and ExtraHop Board Member. “ExtraHop has upended the
market, delivering sophisticated analytics and machine learning that have
transformed IT data into a powerful engine for the data-driven enterprise. The
company’s growth and expansion — more than 50 percent year over year in 2016
— put it on pace to be the next breakout player in IT analytics. We believe
ExtraHop’s position in the Gartner Magic Quadrant affirms that opportunity.”

“It comes as no surprise to see ExtraHop
recognised by Gartner as a Visionary,” said Wes Wright, CTO at Sutter
Health. “I first used the platform at Seattle Children’s Hospital, and it’s now
a central part of our IT operations at Sutter. ExtraHop gives us the real-time
insight we need to keep our systems and applications up and running, and enables
our entire organisation — from IT to clinicians — to deliver better patient
care and experience.”
