"Knoa is cool because application usability and end-user performance are increasingly important metrics for measuring the value and performance of an enterprise's application portfolio. If users do not, or cannot, effectively utilize applications, then projects fail, so end-user performance and satisfaction are critical. This requires monitoring and measuring the end-user experience using this insight to target continuous improvement projects."
-Dwight Klappich, Research Director, GartnerInc.

"We looked at several vendors in the space and chose Knoa Experience and Performance Manager (EPM) as a leader because it set a very high standard when it comes to looking at end-user productivity metrics for corporate business applications, offering demonstrable ROI. Knoa is able to document and separate 'received experience' from 'achieved experience' and the granularity with which Knoa can examine these two areas is distinctively rich compared to all the other vendors evaluated."
-Dennis Drogseth, Vice President Enterprise Management Associates

The benefits in cost reduction, business performance and reduced risk should be self evident."
