The EMA report is a part of a recently published series of solution papers examining SOA management solutions. Analyst Julie Craig states, "In a relatively short life-span, AmberPoint has made a name for itself as one of the most respected names in the SOA marketplace. In talking with company representatives, it is easy to see that a clear product vision and willingness to invest revenue back into the product have contributed to this track record."
The report goes on to state that "AmberPoint has developed a solid architecture that is well-positioned to respond flexibly and with agility to the continually evolving SOA space. If the past is any indication of the future, AmberPoint's product focus and roadmap bode well for continued success."
The report concludes by stating that AmberPoint's "other distinguishing features include powerful service level management capabilities, heavy-duty exception handling and record/replay of messages for testing service modifications. AmberPoint’s strengths are its policy-based approach, which provides the ability to easily change runtime parameters, its depth of coverage and its SOA architecture. A final strength is that AmberPoint has not tried to be everything to everybody. It has picked its area of specialization and has done a superb job of execution. AmberPoint is well positioned for continued success and should see considerable growth as SOA gains momentum in the marketplace."
Industry analysts continue to confirm AmberPoint’s leadership in the SOA runtime governance market. Earlier this year AmberPoint was named the leading SOA and Web services management vendor by Forrester Research in a report that highlighted the company's strong product offering and customer traction. (Forrester Research, "AmberPoint Leads with Strong Customer Adoption for SOA and Web Services Management," February 10, 2006.)
“Industry experts and customers are coming to the same conclusion--AmberPoint is a leader in product innovation and vision for SOA governance," said Ed Horst, vice president of marketing at AmberPoint. “Our product vision comes from working closely with customers that are at the forefront of using SOA for business-critical applications. We’ve applied our experience with all these production customers directly into our product roadmap to ensure that we continue to meet evolving requirements for SOA governance."
