What type of views do Synthetics and RUM together provide for customers?

Synthetics and Real User Monitoring (RUM) together provide proactive monitoring for customers. This combination allows organizations to continuously test and monitor their applications and services from both synthetic checkpoints and real user interactions.

Synthetics simulate user interactions to ensure that the application behaves as expected, while RUM offers insights based on actual user sessions. This proactive approach enables organizations to identify and address issues before they affect users, ensuring optimal performance and a smooth user experience. This continuous monitoring enhances reliability and allows teams to be alerted to potential problems before they escalate.

This focus on proactive monitoring distinguishes it from options like detailed historical views, correlative analysis, and real-time performance insights, as those aspects are more reactive in nature or centered around specific analytics rather than the overarching goal of maintaining application uptime and performance through continuous testing and monitoring.
