AppNeta
Boston, Massachusetts, United States
What it is
AppNeta is Broadcom’s monitoring product for real-time, end-user-focused insight across networks, applications, and locations. It combines active synthetic monitoring with passive packet visibility across on-premises, cloud, hybrid, and ISP environments. Delivery Monitoring measures network paths and can run diagnostics to help locate poor performance. Experience Monitoring uses browser and HTTP workflows to simulate user interactions, API calls, and web-service requests. Usage Monitoring uses deep packet inspection to identify applications from a library exceeding 2,000 definitions and can capture packets. Monitoring Points support remote deployment and management for distributed locations, while SD-WAN and ISP validation are listed use cases. AppNeta data can integrate with DX NetOps and appear in its portal. Intelligent Alarms route filtered high-severity alerts through webhook connectors such as ServiceNow. Broadcom lists SOC reports, annual SOC 2 Type II audits, and semiannual third-party penetration testing. SaaS documentation states that client data and backups are processed in the United States.
