Most enterprises today struggle with multiple user monitoring point solutions that create disjointed partial views of their digital experiences. New Relic DEM is the only integrated solution that combines real user monitoring (RUM) capabilities like browser monitoring, mobile monitoring, and synthetic monitoring, with APM 360, errors inbox, and AI monitoring in a single platform, out of the box. This provides enterprises with an end-to-end view of their customer experience and insights in the context of their entire application stack, helping them measure the health and performance of applications and underlying network and infrastructure from a user point of view. It enables them to pinpoint the root cause of issues and quickly resolve them. It also allows for a better understanding of user behavior and journeys within the apps, helping to design new app features that delight users and drive engagement.

“As streaming services across India and the world gear up for the record breaking viewership of the Paris Olympics, they must do everything they can to prevent buffering screens and frozen replays. When even the slightest delay can lead to customer churn, poor reviews, or lost subscribers, every second matters,” said New Relic Field Chief Technology Officer, APJ Peter Marelas. “New Relic enables streamers to proactively manage and optimise digital experiences in real-time; enabling them to host uninterrupted live events for every viewer across all devices – laptop, smart TV, mobile or tablet – even during peak times.”
