Correlate Real-User Monitoring With Synthetic Transaction Monitoring

Real User Monitoring is great for diagnosing specific user, browser, web-based application, or network issues but doesn’t notify you before a user is affected. RUM doesn’t help with outage prediction or help you in advance.

Deploy CloudReady synthetics along with Service Watch to capture the complete Digital Experience Monitoring (DEM) picture. Know in advance of a problem — know before a business unit is impacted.

Real User Monitoring Plus Synthetics In One Platform

Monitor proactively to know in advance, get complete coverage for every user, every network, every app in addition to passive monitoring of web applications.

Pinpoint The Issue

Service Watch for chrome browser app pinpoints the issue — down to the server, resource, CDN, ISP, and network hop for every user no matter where they roam. Real-time browser application monitoring for the real end-user.

Service Watch Browser Real User Monitoring For SaaS & Single-Page Apps

Many Software-as-a-Service applications like the new Microsoft’s Outlook Web Access, Google Gmail, and Salesforce Lightning have unique requirements when it comes analyzing performance and the digital experience. These applications are what’s called Single-Page Apps (SPAs) and operate differently than traditional web pages that cause a complete refresh of the page.

SPAs use JavaScript and background requests to fetch resources and build pages. This should create a faster user experience similar to desktop or mobile applications. React and Angular are two popular JavaScript frameworks used to create SPAs. Many parts of CloudReady, itself, are SPAs utilizing Angular and other frameworks.

Single-page Applications are all about creating a superb User Experience (UX) and more SaaS/Cloud applications are trying to deliver that “desktop”-like experience i.e. no page reloads, no extra wait time. Typically, with a SPA, you visit and load a single web page once, and as you interact with the application, content and actions are executed in the background and parts of the page are re-rendered.

Single-Page Apps Need Service Watch Browser For Real User Monitoring

No RUM Script Injection

SaaS SPAs can’t be instrumented using legacy RUM — you don’t have access to the servers

More Client-Side Demands

Single-Page Apps have higher browser, client-side, and long-running memory demands

See Beyond the Browser

SPAs are XHR/long-running and behave differently through proxies, firewalls and branch offices

Analyzing SaaS and Browser Based Applications for Slowdowns and Poor Performance with Real User Monitoring

Software-as-a-Service applications like Salesforce Lightning, Gmail, and OWA are often long running applications that download and update resources in the background. These apps leverage functions within a browser such as service workers or a key function called XmlHTTPRequest (often abbreviated as XHR).

These features, common to modern browsers, enable an application to be more responsive and dynamic and to act more like a desktop or mobile application. But they also make finding performance problems or debugging issues more challenging.

Exoprise Service Watch browser RUM monitors these background requests and executions for continuous performance slowdowns. These can be very important to determine when applications are slowing down even after their initial navigation and application download. Install the chrome browser extension or plugin to get user-centric real-time performance and SaaS visibility for your favorite web application. Analyze everything from page load events, HTTP requests, application crashes, and performance metrics using our free browser monitoring software.

All Application Requests

Service Watch frontend monitoring captures all of the web traffic requests that a Single-Page App like Gmail makes and aggregates for performance analysis and user behavior.
