  • See how customers interact with your app and identify opportunities for optimization.

  • With a full view across the entire web and mobile application experience, Experience Journey Mapping supports all stakeholders in your digital experience - from application owners to IT operations and developers alike

Mobile and web user experience

  • With browser and mobile real user monitoring (RUM), optimize customer journeys across devices, operating systems and browser types like never before to drive business results.

  • Rapidly identify application issues, glitches, crashes, network requests and page load details.

  • With mobile real user monitoring, understand how users interact with your mobile apps across devices, OS and browser types - from the tap of a finger, to a code event, to infrastructure activity.

End to end context

  • With synthetic monitoring, observe the availability and performance of web applications and APIs to spot problems before your customers know they exist.

  • With Application Dependency Monitoring, users can discover external service dependencies, recommend new ThousandEyes network tests to monitor those dependencies and automate test creation with preconfigured templates to increase coverage.

  • Advanced correlation with real user monitoring, networking monitoring and APM data provides in-depth triage and troubleshooting capabilities for faster MTTI and MTTR.

Application Performance Monitoring

Connect IT teams to business results

  • Unify your IT teams through end-to-end observability of code level transactions affecting the KPIs that matter most to your business, such as conversion and revenue.

Fix anomalies in real time

  • Cognition Engine uses machine learning to automate anomaly detection and drastically reduce MTTR with instant root cause diagnostics.

Manage hybrid environments

  • Migrate confidently to the cloud with real time, automated performance insights before, during, and after the process. Simplify even the most complex hybrid environments with a consolidated view of application services and infrastructure.

Business Performance Monitoring

Maximize business performance

  • Business process visibility - By strategically ranking customer interactions based on their impact to the business, improving SLAs, service adoption and other critical performance KPIs

  • User experience - Whether a seamless checkout or a hassle-free login, every digital touch point matters more than ever. Perfect the moments that breathe life into your brand with precise, actionable insights

  • Business Journey Mapping surfaces contextual insights that show you how performance impacts your application’s key business transactions. Automatically capture errors, crashes, network requests, page load details and other metrics for an entire user session

  • User Journey Dashboards visualize key business metrics across user conversion or other milestones in the customer journey.  Understand the impact on your business when users abandon your application due to latency or other potential performance challenges

  • Release validation allows you to measure the impact of a new software release or an event (for example, cloud migration) based on revenue generated, conversion rate or other KPIs to better understand its impact on your business

Infrastructure Monitoring

Infrastructure performance impact

  • Avoid downtime by tying critical business and user experience outcomes to events within your hybrid environment.

  • Scale smarter through hybrid infrastructure monitoring that prioritizes KPIs affecting business results like revenue.

  • Easily automate data collection and correlate cloud native services to application code, user experience outcomes and their impact on your business metrics.

  • Quickly isolate performance issues in cloud native environments with purpose-built observability for your managed Kubernetes workloads and containerized applications.

Collabortive

  • With ITOps and InfraOps working together from a shared context, detect root cause faster by breaking down team silos.
