Forrester further states that by "leveraging its PacketShaper product, Blue Coat allows for identification of applications, enhancing the visibility of traffic due to its ability to classify more than 600 applications along with the ability to add classifications for custom applications, defined by the administrator - making Blue Coat a clear leader in application visibility in the WAN optimization market."
