Using DEM to Avoid Common Ecommerce Pitfalls
By Kameerath Kareem
Digital experience monitoring plays a vital role in the ecommerce economy.
The industry is booming with millions of websites selling everything
imaginable. Online stores are expected to be super fast and easy to navigate;

There are many factors involved in designing and deploying a sound monitoring
strategy; monitoring solutions can help you execute that strategy. Making
sure they provide the metrics and insight you need to detect and help you
identify issues before there is a business impact is critical (in the
industry, we call this signal-to-noise ratio).
