End User Experience Monitoring
• End User Monitoring (often referred to as End User
Experience Monitoring) controls the performance of
business-critical applications from the perspective of the end
user.
• The concept of end user monitoring is based on the
assumption that the quality control of a certain application
has to be made from the user’s point of view rather than
through the monitoring of the single IT components. Single
Databases, web servers and hosts can work properly,
although users might encounter possible anomalies on the
application.
