Every user journey is correlated seamlessly with synthetic tests, backend metrics, traces, logs, and network performance data, so you can quickly detect poor user experience and resolve issues with context from across the stack.

Customer Testimonials

Datadog RUM gives our teams visibility into every step of the customer journey on our E-commerce platform, from adding items to a basket to completing the checkout process. RUM also enables us to quickly identify frontend issues, pinpoint impacted customers, and resolve errors so we can deliver a better user experience.

CustOps changed their resolution workflow with Datadog RUM. We first assess where the error is coming from using RUM dashboards. If users from a single office see slowdowns—but there are no errors on Apixio's backend—we notify the customer IT department that the issues stem from their side, without escalating to the Engineering or DevOps teams.
