Poor application performance leads to frustration among users and is one of the major constraints hindering the widespread spread of cloud computing applications. Research shows that users are becoming more and more impatient, if the page load time approximation six seconds, the page discard rate will be close to 33%.

Poor application performance will directly lead to a negative impression of the site, and is likely not to return. Higher abandonment rates have a direct impact on income and ROI, so effective management of application energy is a key component of each company's cloud-monitoring strategy.

Steve Tack, chief technology officer of Compuware APM Business, said, "We all know that distance, routing, and peer-to-peer connections play an important role in determining the performance of a site." It is clear that providers such as Microsoft AZURE-CHICAG can effectively control the mix of these factors. Organizations should understand what level of performance (i.e. speed and availability) needs to be obtained from their cloud computing applications to provide a fast, reliable, and highly satisfactory end-user experience. From a end-user perspective, simply relying on a hardware availability SLA to manage a service provider is not a valid move. Organizations need to measure the real experience of their most important end users, including those who are far away, to ensure that cloud service providers can provide a fast and reliable experience for their critical areas. "
