It is vital for SaaS-based businesses to protect their customer experiences and minimize performance issues before they have a catastrophic impact on their business. The importance of this issue is seen in the fact that companies like Salesforce.com and Amazon have elevated performance itself as a point of differentiation — and publish regular reports on it.
But understanding how your SaaS infrastructure is performing is not easy. First, today’s web applications have evolved from a single point of delivery to applications coming from many third-party components.
Secondly, there is no “one user”. Users are dispersed across the globe and include a wide range of technologies, including Internet Service Providers, laptop browsers and a variety of mobile devices to name a few.
Quality service in this complexity is challenging to monitor and manage. And, traditional performance monitoring tools can be stuck inside your organization’s firewall. You simply don’t have the insight you need to ensure that your customers are getting optimal, fast, uninterrupted service.
