Perspica Uses Machine Learning for Root Cause Analysis

Perspica added a new root cause analysis feature to its software-as-a-service (SaaS) visibility platform. The company says its root cause analysis detects issues within layers of the application stack and recommends potential fixes. Powered by machine learning, Perspica's root cause analysis feature is able to understand what is supposed to be happening in an application's performance, based on times of the day and days of the week, says JF Huard founder and CTO of Perspica. It is then able to analyze these metrics, detect anomalies, and determine the root cause. "Not only are we eliminating false positives, but we are also able to catch relevant problems by comparing an application's topology from day-to-day," Huard says.
