Unsurprisingly, application crashes due to fatal errors can be a major pain point for iOS users. Recent research shows that roughly 20 percent of mobile application uninstalls were due to crashes or other code errors. As a developer, it’s paramount to manage this potential churn by capturing comprehensive crash data in order to track, triage, and debug recurring issues in your iOS apps.
DevOps is a common name in the technology household. Teams, small or big, are embracing this concept to deliver applications faster, improve software quality, and add efficiency in the development process from the very beginning. Shortening the feedback loop leads to a cost-effective way for businesses to find and fix defects earlier in the cycle process. Plus, it lowers the software failure rate in production and minimizes time wastage for the development team.
Digital Experience Monitoring (DEM) solutions like those from Exoprise monitor SaaS and custom web applications behind the firewall or cloud to deliver optimal performance to end-users. In a survey done by Forrester, 51% of technology teams and individuals are now objectively managed on providing the right technology to improve and manage the end-user experience. While the onset of COVID may have led companies to restructure a year ago, the same companies are now presented with new challenges to support a hybrid workforce and retain the best employees.
When developing large, customer-facing applications, it’s paramount to have visibility into real user behavior in order to optimize your UX. Without a direct view into what users are actually doing when navigating your app, it can be difficult to reproduce bugs and understand how aspects of your frontend design are causing user frustration and churn. With Datadog RUM’s Session Replay feature, currently available in beta, you can watch individual user sessions using a video-like interface.
Most front-end developers and practitioners are familiar with real user monitoring (RUM) tools as a means to understand how end-users are perceiving the performance of applications. Few people, however, are aware of the history of the RUM market, going back more than two decades. Over the years, as the internet has evolved with new technologies, RUM tools have evolved in lock-step to cater to the ever changing needs and use cases of engineering teams.
Service Watch for Real User Monitoring (RUM) has come a long way. Our last product update announcement talked about new layouts for Service Watch Browser (SWB) and Service Watch Desktop (SWD). These new layouts and widgets provide IT with a holistic end-user experience score. If we try to use business-critical application services from home (or call it #WorkAnyWhere), the experience is often not the same as working from corporate headquarters. Service Watch closes this gap with its browser and desktop passive monitoring solution, enabling IT to collect 1000's of advanced metrics for accelerating troubleshooting.
