Ensure amazing digital experiences

Monitor digital experience across network infrastructure, multi-cloud, and SaaS applications.
Run page load and web transaction tests on intervals that you choose.
Constantly monitor application performance between end users, offices, data centers, and public clouds.

Network monitoring and testing made simple

See real and test traffic in the one window for monitoring clarity and reduced workload.
Plan synthetic tests based on your actual network traffic and have them update when patterns change.
Auto-configure tests without the toil of documenting addresses, parsing lists, or tracking changes.

Troubleshoot performance problems

Be alerted to performance problems and know they’re based on your real traffic patterns.
Quickly zoom into specific tests and learn details of your traffic’s path so you can narrow down to the source of problems.
Immediately see nodes with excessive latency or packet loss and/or jitter.
Monitor BGP events including hijacks and path changes, route leaks, and invalid RPKI status.

Monitor user experience from anywhere

Emulate the performance of your global users from any region in public cloud providers.
Use any of our 200+ public agents and augment with private agents in your own network.
Test web apps using app agents, page loads, and transactions.
Manage agents, tests and data with an API.
