| -- Streaming Video Monitoring Joins Web and Mobile, All Under a Single Unified Portal for a Comprehensive View Into the Online Experience -- Efficient Monitoring of Large and Complex Web Sites Made Easier With New Features for Labeling, Sorting and Filtering Performance Measurements -- Alarm Enhancements Provide Additional Capabilities for Identifying and Troubleshooting Web Performance Issues Quickly and Easily to Shorten the Mean Time to Repair SAN MATEO, Calif., Aug 26, 2009 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Keynote Systems (Nasdaq: KEYN), the global leader in on-demand mobile and Internet test & measurement solutions for continuously improving the online experience, today announced the immediate availability of MyKeynote 9.0, the world's most powerful online performance monitoring portal that now provides a single unified view into the performance of Web and mobile transactions and streaming video (see separate press release issued today announcing Streaming Perspective(R) 5.0). MyKeynote 9.0 enables Web operations departments to move at the speed of the Web by offering the industry's only single unified portal for measuring, monitoring and testing Web sites & applications, mobile sites & device-resident applications and streaming video - all from the end user perspective. In addition to providing a single unified portal, MyKeynote 9.0 offers many additional enhancements for large enterprises including faster problem detection and resolution. "Keynote has seen first-hand the fast pace of change and increasing complexity of the Web. Web sites now include the ability to handle very complex transactions. Examples include rich content such as Adobe Flash and Silverlight that occupy the most prominent portions of home pages, more components per page, content integration from 3rd parties, asynchronous application communication, much larger sites in terms of number of Web pages, more complex back-end server integrations and geographically distributed customer profiles," said Vik Chaudhary, vice president of product management and corporate development at Keynote. "These technical developments represent fundamental shifts occurring on the Internet. Our customers require Web Performance monitoring and measurement solutions that keep pace with the speed of the Web, and Keynote is delivering on that demand," continued Mr. Chaudhary. A Single Unified Portal for Testing & Monitoring Online Businesses Streaming video has been steadily increasing in deployment and importance. With today's announcement Keynote has fully integrated its industry-leading Streaming Perspective monitoring product into the MyKeynote portal (see separate press release issued today announcing Streaming Perspective 5.0), creating a consolidated gateway into the world's largest and most accurate measurement network for testing and monitoring Web Performance, mobile devices, services and applications and now also streaming video. MyKeynote 9.0's most impressive advancement is that it now includes a single unified portal offering an unprecedented view into the performance, from the end user perspective, of connected and mobile Web sites, mobile services and streaming video. Additionally, the same measurement provisioning, graphing, reporting and alarming capabilities for monitoring connected Web sites now work across the full range of Keynote products. While other companies talk about a platform approach, Keynote delivers a unified SaaS portal today to help online businesses test and monitor the performance and usability of all their Web and mobile properties including those containing streaming video. Support for Large Enterprises: Email Groups and New Sorting/Filtering Features MyKeynote 9.0 now makes it even easier for large enterprises to manage large numbers of Keynote measurements. For example, customers with 50, 100 or more Keynote measurements will appreciate the new 'email groups' feature. Operations teams can create multiple email groups and then email groups of people rather than dozens of individual email addresses, when specifying alarm and report recipients. With centrally managed email groups it is now a snap to add and/or remove recipients of Keynote reports and alarms. Additionally MyKeynote 9.0 introduces new sorting and filtering capabilities including user defined measurement labels that allow for efficiently organizing site performance measurements by theme such as by Web property or transaction type. These enhancements make the ability to manage large numbers of performance measurements a breeze. MyKeynote 9.0 alarming has been significantly upgraded with alarm message formatting, mass alarms editing and logging. Taken together, these enhancements make Keynote alarming capabilities more powerful than ever before. Keynote alarms frequently provide Network Operations the first warning of online performance problems prior to other systems and monitoring devices. Faster Problem Detection and Resolution MyKeynote 9.0 enables operations teams to reduce the Mean Time to Repair (MTTR) in response to outages in several ways:
