Mobile monitoring versus Web Monitoring
There is no question that mobile is exploding. Just to give you some quick data points, a record 21% of all online 2013 Thanksgiving shopping came via mobile devices (Source: IBM), mobile commerce will be nearly half of e-commerce by 2018 (Source: Goldman Sachs), and mobile apps will generate $77 billion in revenue by 2017 (Source: Gartner).
Today mobile users are visiting your Web or mobile sites and they engage with your brand via your mobile apps, while more employees and partners increasingly rely on enterprise mobile applications (ERP, CRM, HR portals...) to get their work done. Yet don’t be mistaken. If you are only monitoring your Web applications, you are exposing your organization to risk, because when it comes to availability and performance, mobile users have the same levels of expectations than traditional desktop Web users. In fact, just like on the Web desktop world, availability and response time determine mobile user experience, and every second of delay in load time damages revenue, brand and productivity. Therefore, it is no longer a matter of Web monitoring versus mobile monitoring, you need to holistically manage it all (Websites, mobile sites and mobile app). This is why we recently added mobile monitoring capabilities to our Site24x7 Web Performance Monitoring services.
