It is imperative that you monitor the performance of your applications to provide a good experience to the users and for that, you will be needing automated tools. One cannot simply check the performance of all the applications running on their network manually, especially now that there are a whole bunch of automated tools available for the same purpose. Doing so would be absurd and it will waste a ton of your time which can be used in something more productive.
