What is User Experience Management?
Fast response,
High throughput
Diagnose problems
accurately
Resolve problems
quickly
Be Proactive Plan intelligently

Answering the Toughest IT Problem:
Why is My Application Slow?
▪ Is it due to the application code?
▪ Is it the application server?
▪ Is it due to the user’s workload?
▪ Is it due to the virtual/cloud platform?
▪ Is there slowness with the infrastructure
services (AD, file storage, profiles etc.)?
▪ Could it be due to storage?
▪ Could it be due to the network?

Converged Application and IT Infrastructure Monitoring

monitoring, diagnosis, alerting,
reporting, baselining, capacity

What’s New in eG Enterprise v7.1: Key Highlights
APM

User Experience Monitoring Enhancements
Synthetic Monitoring Real User Monitoring (RUM)
• New Tool: Web App Simulation • New visualizations
• Deeper page load time breakdowns
• Support for Single Page Apps (SPA)
• New Reports
• Integration with BTM

Web App Simulation
Synthetic user experience monitoring during
web application access
Logon Simulation
Simulate and monitor logon performance for
digital workspaces and SaaS applications
The Complete Synthetic Monitoring Tool in the Market
Protocol Simulation
Test availability of applications with single-step
transaction (HTTP access, network access, etc.)
Client Session Simulation
Synthetic simulation of application access in a
thick client (physical/virtual desktop)
New
in v7.1

Simulating a Web Application with Multiple Transactions
Access the ACME
Telcom portal
Sign into the
portal
View plans
Select a plan
Update the plan
Review the plan
Buy the plan
Make payment
Payment successful

How the Transaction Recorder Works
Enter the URL
(with http/s) to
be simulated
Press the Record button
to start recording the
simulation
Each URL hit on the web app is
captured as a Transaction. And
every action (mouse-click, keystroke,
etc.) is captured as an Activity
A recorded transaction
Activities comprising the
recorded transaction
The simulation will begin by
opening the web app URL in
a Chrome browser

Transaction Flow Visualization and Problem Diagnosis
Visualize the step-by-step flow of
transactions and the status and response
time of each transaction
The red X denotes a failed transaction
in the simulation. The simulation
could not proceed further.
Click on this camera icon to see
the screenshot of the failed
transaction in the simulation
Screenshot of a failed
transaction

New Dashboards for RUM

Deeper Drilldowns into Page Load Time Analytics

Deeper Drilldowns into Page Load Time Analytics
The Resource Details tab shows
detailed breakdown of time taken to
load every resource on the web page
If there’s scenario where resources are being
downloaded during each page load instead of being
served from the browser cache, it can be found.
CSS or JavaScripts that are taking high load time can
be identified easily. Web masters can get insight into
what resources to minify to get faster page load.

New Reports for RUM
End-User Experience Health
Get complete user experience
insights, KPIs and highlights for a web
application in a single report
For a given time period get the
average page load time breakdown
for the web application and identify
what has been causing slowness

Business Transaction Monitoring: What Happened on the
Server Side?

What’s New in Business Transaction Monitoring (BTM)
• eG Enterprise v7.1 now support transaction tracing for custom web

workload (calls), response time, errors
and by number of slow/stalled counts
Know execution of which transaction
(URL) needs to be optimized based on
high response time, traffic or errors
Top Business Transactions Report
