Tip of the Day - Beyond Alerts

Alerts are one of the main reasons why we monitor. Having a robust Alerting Tool can ensure proactive notification of issues and allows for quick access to the data required to troubleshoot the issue(s).

Tip of the Day - Synthetic Monitoring the Catchpoint way

Not all synthetic monitoring solutions are created equal. A truly proactive synthetic monitoring platform runs tests from the networks and locations where end users are located, and emulates the same path that the end users take to access websites and applications. Synthetic tests that are run from cloud providers miss many critical issues that affect the customer experience, and often lead to a painfully slow troubleshooting process because they don't capture all the components in the application delivery chain. Learn how Catchpoint's industry-leading synthetic monitoring infrastructure provides easy and effective monitoring from the outside-in for a truly comprehensive Digital Experience Monitoring (DEM) solution.
