When teams monitor each layer in isolation, they lose sight of the complete journey and what prevents users from reaching their intended outcome. ![No single layer of your stack can tell you the full story](https://web-assets.dd-static.net/42588/1792151418-dem_diagram.png) ## Connect every layer around the user journey Automatically define and monitor critical user journeys to pinpoint drop-offs, slow or failing steps, or gaps in existing coverage. ### ![ ](https://image.mux.com/D500gPVhcLCXJWRXefMzsfoOianvlGIgU/thumbnail.jpg) [Watch video](https://web-assets.dd-static.net/42588/1792089092-journey-monitoring-scroll.mp4) - **Automatically map critical user journeys** — Use real-user activity to surface important journeys and map the high-volume paths users take between defined start and end events - **Measure journey health in one view** — Compare traffic, conversion, time to convert, real-user performance, and Synthetic uptime to identify degraded experiences. - **Give Product and Engineering a shared view** — Connect behavioral and technical signals so teams can distinguish user friction from technical failures, investigate issues in context, and resolve them faster. ## Every Digital Experience signal in one view Explore the products that help teams proactively test critical journeys, troubleshoot real-user issues, and understand what drives conversion and drop-off. ### Discover and analyze critical user journeys Automatically capture sessions, views, and actions with the Datadog SDK. Use funnels, user paths, and retention to understand how users navigate your application, where they convert or drop off, and how product changes affect behavior. ![Discover and analyze critical user journeys](https://web-assets.dd-static.net/42588/1792151521-product-analytics-session-replay.png) [See Product Analytics ](https://www.datadoghq.com/product/product-analytics/) ### Rewatch real-user sessions with AI-powered insights Replay how users move through critical journeys and see exactly where they encounter friction. Smart summaries and chapters take you directly to key moments, while heatmaps reveal interaction patterns across each screen. With built-in developer tools, you can diagnose the errors and performance issues behind each experience. ![Rewatch real-user sessions with AI-powered insights](https://web-assets.dd-static.net/42588/1792447828-product-analytics_session-replay_editorial.png) [See Session Replay](https://www.datadoghq.com/product/session-replay/) ### Measure the impact of every release on user experience Monitor the availability and performance of frontend applications and the journeys they power with session-level visibility into real user experiences. Focus on latest versions, debug with stack traces, and correlate affected sessions with backend telemetry to identify regressions and pinpoint the changes that introduced them. ![Measure the impact of every release on user experience](https://web-assets.dd-static.net/42588/1792089266-rum_dashboard.png) [See Browser RUM ](https://www.datadoghq.com/product/real-user-monitoring/) · [See Mobile RUM ](https://www.datadoghq.com/product/real-user-monitoring/mobile-rum/) ### Use AI to keep test coverage current Bits Testing explores your application, maps critical journeys, and identifies gaps in existing coverage.
