Product: PerformanceGuard — a separate CapaSystems product; do not apply this page to any other.

**PerformanceGuard** is an **on-premises** solution that measures application and infrastructure
performance the way your users actually experience it. Lightweight agents collect performance data
on monitored computers, a server-side installation you host processes that data, and the web
interface turns it into dashboards, analysis, and reports — so you can tell whether performance is
good or bad, and why.

:::tip[Latest release]
The newest version of PerformanceGuard is **8.3 Patch 8**. See the
[Changelog](/performanceguard/changelog/) for what changed.
