SaaS Monitoring
Applications have moved to the cloud. Even traditionally on-premises applications, such as Microsoft Office, have transitioned into SaaS-based offerings. So, more organizations are relying on applications that are serviced from SaaS network infrastructure maintained by service providers that they don’t own, connected over Internet networks that they don’t control.
Regardless of who owns the application, IT teams still own user experience. But ensuring a high-quality user experience can be challenging because of the complexity of the service delivery chain and IT infrastructure monitoring is not enough. With SaaS applications, users rely not only on the SaaS service provider’s infrastructure but also on many external dependencies, such as DNS, ISPs, CDNs, and DDoS mitigation providers. All of these must be working seamlessly in order for users to have a good experience.
Traditional network monitoring tools using packet capture, flow data, and SNMP don’t provide visibility outside an organization's boundaries. As such, legacy network monitoring solutions that employ these techniques do not provide adequate SaaS application visibility, nor do they combine together effectively across siloed data sets to offer a capable suite of SaaS monitoring tools. Likewise, strictly application performance monitoring (APM) solutions are unable to provide visibility into Internet-centric SaaS environments.
