Synthetic Testing and Real User Monitoring

Synthetic Testing and Real User Monitoring are the most important tools in your performance toolbox. But they do different things and are useful at different times and many developers only spend time mastering one of these tools and only see a part of their performance problems, like trying to hammer in a screw. Let’s look at these tools, what they measure, and when to use them.

Splunk RUM troubleshoots customer-facing issues faster to deliver better user experiences

With Splunk RUM you can quickly navigate from high-level page performance to the source of an issue itself, across your entire architecture for full-stack, end-to-end visibility. A critical component in the Splunk Observability suite, Splunk RUM offers NoSample^TM^, full-fidelity data capture with support for OpenTelemetry - meaning you’ll find root cause without switching monitoring tools, with more context across your distributed systems.

How Pingdom's Real User Monitoring Can Help Optimize Your WordPress Website

Enterprise web applications or medium-to-large, consumer-facing websites are typically built by teams of engineers, administrators, web developers, and other professionals. However, once a site goes live, the operations team is responsible for keeping the site up and running at optimal performance. Online users aren’t forgiving, often abandoning a site as soon as they encounter an issue with functionality, complexity, or performance.

Announcing the General Availability of Splunk Mobile RUM for Native Mobile Apps

As the world increasingly works, buys, and communicates through native mobile apps. In 2020 there were 218 billion new app installs globally, 13.4 billion from the US alone. The challenge, while iOS and Android applications make up significant portions of user traffic and business, engineering teams and monitoring tools are split between mobile app and backend developers; this creates siloed visibility on how changes to the app or backend components impact each other, and end user experience.

Debug iOS crashes efficiently with Datadog RUM

Unsurprisingly, application crashes due to fatal errors can be a major pain point for iOS users. Recent research shows that roughly 20 percent of mobile application uninstalls were due to crashes or other code errors. As a developer, it’s paramount to manage this potential churn by capturing comprehensive crash data in order to track, triage, and debug recurring issues in your iOS apps.

Empowering Digital Employee Experience with Browser-based Real User Monitoring

Service Watch Browser provides Real User Monitoring (RUM) for SaaS and web applications you don't control. The browser-based plugin can be securely installed as an Internet Explorer or Chrome extension to get the end-user perspective of mission-critical apps such as Microsoft 365, Salesforce, Workday, AWS, etc. Service Watch Browser enables IT admins or app owners to proactively detect and troubleshoot Wi-Fi, ISP, and local network connectivity issues causing the slowness.

Facilitate DevOps Monitoring with Synthetics and RUM

DevOps is a common name in the technology household. Teams, small or big, are embracing this concept to deliver applications faster, improve software quality, and add efficiency in the development process from the very beginning. Shortening the feedback loop leads to a cost-effective way for businesses to find and fix defects earlier in the cycle process. Plus, it lowers the software failure rate in production and minimizes time wastage for the development team.
