APM tools promise a unified observability platform, yet they inherently focus on internal metrics, traces, and logs. This internal focus, while valuable, misses critical dimensions of the user experience and network performance that are essential for a complete understanding of application behavior in real-world scenarios.

With Kentik you can dive deep into your network performance and find problems before they affect your users.

With Checkly you can test your site continually to see if everything's really functioning as expected.
