Monitoring end-user activity has improved visibility into device and application performance
In my opinion, Riverbed can make Alluvio Aternity better by having the same Aternity agent help in security, such as antivirus or EDR, which would be useful, allowing customers to avoid having multiple agents installed on their endpoint machines. Deploying multiple agents can use the processor and utilize memory, so it's better to go with one agent. If one agent can do end-user activity monitoring and act as an EDR, then it would be better for the end-user, allowing easy avoidance of installing multiple agents on their machines.

Proactive monitoring has built customer trust and now detects regional website and CDN issues early
In my opinion, one of the best features Catchpoint offers is the detailed alerting, which not only points out outages but also provides a lot of information in the alerts. I find the alerting details helpful because, working for hosting organizations, it is tough to identify issues due to third-party providers, such as a CDN. The alerts contain all the details, such as when a website is failing to load due to a CDN issue, such as a 503 error at the CDN. I think Catchpoint helps us detect issues before anybody could report them, which can impact clients because it provides prior monitoring that also sees outside the infrastructure, meaning outside the backend. Catchpoint positively impacts our organization by helping us build customer trust, as customers do not care if the issue comes from the backend or our infrastructure. It allows us to determine issues that are not related to our services, which builds good trust with customers, and they know we are working on downtimes. I believe Catchpoint's accuracy and reliability of output is impressive because it finds issues before anyone else does. Even if a website viewer identifies a problem, Catchpoint has good global coverage on outages and checks application statuses continuously, reporting them immediately. Catchpoint has good scalability and is stable. Catchpoint is very great software for troubleshooting APIs, websites, availability, and other third-party services such as CDNs, which makes it stand out.
