The Gartner Group positions OC Systems in the Niche quadrant of its 2005 Magic Quadrant for J2EE Application Server Management, saying RootCause exposes key information down to the source-code level concerning J2EE transactions and objects.

Once we saw what RootCause was truly capable of, it became a testing mainstay for us and is now considered to be one of our very best tools, one that has more than paid for itself.
