Obtain a comprehensive overview of your website's performance based on different geographic locations in real-time. Visualize how your website is performing across different countries on a world map to find out whether your users are happy or frustrated with the website experience. Quickly identify locations where users are affected with slow website performance based on Response Time, Page Views, Error count, and Throughput, drill down to the metric causing the issue, and take corrective actions to mitigate the issue for that location.
Track the website journey of your real users by analyzing the performance of individual web transactions running on your website to have a clear picture of how your website is responding. Examine how your website is performing by measuring response time, page size, and throughput of your web transactions with clear insights. Keep a close watch on the number of page views for your website as well as the errors obtained for individual transactions to identify any potential issues that might occur and to resolve them before impacting end users.
Obtain deep insights into user sessions that are established by your real users while interacting with your website in real-time. Find out the number of user sessions that have connected to your website along with the status of each session to estimate the duration and quality of user sessions established with your website. Identify which session is causing slowness and drill down into individual user sessions to analyze the transaction that's causing the slowness based on key metrics such as page loading time, time spent on the website, number of pages visited with detailed stats on response time.
Optimize the real user experience of your website based on performance on different platforms used by the end users. Obtain deep insights into how your website is responding on various browsers for real users by monitoring the response time, throughput, and the number of users accessing the browsers in real-time. Also, get detailed information on the real-time response of your website based on the devices that are used by your real users for interacting with your website. Obtain graphical information on the response time, screen viewport, connection type and memory for your devices to help you analyze the real user experience of your website accordingly.

Real User Monitoring is a unique technology that helps keep an eye on how people use websites or applications with the aid of insightful performance data. Since it is impossible to know the impact that real world factors would have on the application performance, real user monitoring gives IT and DevOps teams a better perspective of how their application is being experienced by real end users. It is a real user application performance monitoring solution that gives you a clear view of how fast and smooth a website or app is running, so you can make it even better for everyone using it.
Real User Monitoring lets you see and understand web applications and websites just like your actual users do. It helps you understand your website from an end-user's perspective, which makes it easier to find and fix problems. For instance, users that are using a certain ISP or browser might be facing issues while interacting with your web application. Through RUM monitoring, one can make optimizations to their application such that it performs better in different conditions.
RUM Performance Monitoring keeps an eye on your websites and web applications by measuring how fast your site loads, tracking user actions, and spotting any errors in the code. All this data is neatly presented in an easy-to-use interface, so you can analyze and improve your website with ease!
Real browser monitoring (RBM) helps you test how your webpages work by imitating their actions on different web browsers and locations. It uses recordings to play back these actions on special agents called End User Monitoring (EUM) agents.
On the other hand, Real User Monitoring (RUM) lets you see how your websites are experienced by actual users in real-time, no matter where they are located in the world. It helps you understand how users perceive your websites and identify any issues they may encounter.
Real User Monitoring (RUM) analyzes live user interactions for real-world performance insights. Synthetic Monitoring involves simulated tests to evaluate application performance and availability.
RUM identifies user-centric issues, while Synthetic Monitoring ensures proactive performance testing, helping prevent issues before impacting users. Learn more.
Real User Monitoring (RUM) depends on actual user interactions, so it cannot detect issues in low-traffic scenarios or predict potential problems proactively. It provides limited control over test conditions, lacks immediate insights for unvisited paths, and may miss identifying issues until users are impacted. RUM also requires significant data processing, which can be resource-intensive.
Real User Monitoring (RUM) offers actionable insights into actual user experiences, helping identify performance bottlenecks in real-world scenarios. It provides detailed metrics on load times, user behavior, and geographic impact. By capturing real-time data, RUM aids in optimizing application performance, improving user satisfaction, and ensuring better decision-making based on real usage patterns.
Yes, you will need to download the RUM agent to configure real-user monitoring. Don't worry, it's easy! Just click on this link and you'll be able to download it from there.
RUM will be available as a count based add-on module. It will work with both Professional and Enterprise editions of Applications Manager.
A PageView, also called an impression, happens whenever someone looks at a page on your website. Even if a person views the same page more than once or refreshes it and looks at it again, it still counts as a separate PageView. PageView gives the traffic count of the webpage.
The PageView metric is particularly useful in understanding the frequency at which the webpage is visited. Based on the amount of PageViews, one can also understand the value that the page has to offer its visitors. Webpages that do not offer much to its visitors tend to have lesser PageViews.
It allows us to track crucial metrics such as response times, resource utilization, error rates, and transaction performance. The real-time monitoring alerts promptly notify us of any issues or anomalies, enabling us to take immediate action.
