SolarWinds, a software company specializing in the development of IT management software, is driven by the objective of making server and application management programs affordable and easy to use. Not too long back, this combination was considered virtually impossible. However, it is fast becoming a reality. Here are a couple of affordable programs that SolarWinds has created for user experience monitoring.
Synthetic End Use Monitor
The Synthetic End Use Monitor helps developers track the response time and overall effectiveness of their applications. With the single push of a button, the program runs a test that records the steps involved in the application’s web transaction. Developers can run this test every five minutes for real-time updates on their application’s effectiveness and response time.
The best part is that the Synthetic End Use Monitor is able to track the overall user experience from multiple locations. It is also able to measure independent step latency. This helps web application creators troubleshoot more effectively. The Synthetic End Use Monitor is applicable to customer facing, SaaS, cloud-based and internal applications.
Server & Application Monitor
This application management program also allows application developers to monitor the performance end users are getting. Additionally, it also allows developers to measure the overall health of their application and hardware using a LUCID™ interface (Logical, Useable, Customizable, Interactive& Drill-down). This monitor also leverages the out-of-the-box user experience monitors available with a wide range of application providers and services, including Microsoft® SQL Server, POP3, HTTP, DHCP, DNS, FTP, HTTPS, LDAP, Oracle® and several others.
Ultimately, with the help of these two application management monitors, web application developers get the irreplaceable advantage of being able to track real-time user experience. Once they have relevant feedback about their applications, they can troubleshoot and improve performance, without having to confront a host of complaints.
