Nimsoft Cloud User Experience Monitor

Real Browser Monitoring

Nimsoft Cloud User Experience Monitor (formerly WatchMouse) offers real browser monitoring capabilities that accurately measure the performance of real browser visits—the way users experience your Web properties. By pinpointing performance issues using an actual browser, this solution provides the practical insights you need to optimize the user experience.

Supported Browsers

Why Real Browser Monitoring is So Critical

Today’s websites commonly use technologies like Ajax, JavaScript, CSS and Flash to realize the desired capabilities. Consequently, the only way to accurately monitor the performance of each component of a site is to use a real browser to execute the various components that are used to construct the site.

By checking that each component is correctly responding, Nimsoft Cloud User Experience Monitor functionally verifies that your composite site is working, from the Web server right through to the user’s browser.

The Nimsoft Cloud User Experience Monitor dashboard contains reports that detail the exact download sequence. By pinpointing the components of your site that are causing delays and errors, you can address issues and optimize performance to ensure that your site is delivering the best possible end-user experience.

Why Monitor your Site with Real Browsers?

Current Web 2.0 technologies used to collaborate between multiple sources and deliver content using JavaScript, Flash, Ajax and CSS are all known as Rich Internet Applications (RIA). With RIAs, much of the execution of a site’s content happens on the client’s browser rather than the Web.

Traditional monitoring only simulates one part of a browser, the HTTP protocol. By contrast, Nimsoft Cloud User Experience Monitor uses a real browser, which uses multiple connections, renders a page, builds a DOM and executes JavaScript, which is not done by a simple HTTP Web check.

Traditional website monitoring does not check network connects or execute RIAs, therefore it cannot accurately report on the actual end-user site experience. Real Browser Monitoring conducts tests using end-user browsers. It checks how they manage the asynchronous communication of RIAs and reports on the browser’s execution time.

The Nimsoft Cloud User Experience Monitor dashboard contains reports that detail the exact download sequence. By pinpointing the components of your site that are causing delays and errors, you can optimize to ensure that your site is delivering the best possible end-user experience.
