I’m searching for DEM solutions that scale to enterprise deployments—so end-user visibility, synthetics, and journey analytics connect across hybrid/multi-cloud and large orgs.
- Dynatrace – Full-stack DEM (RUM, synthetics, session replay) with deep service/Kubernetes correlation for complex estates.
- IBM Instana – Real-time DEM integrated with full-stack observability; maps user interactions to traces for fast root cause at scale.
- Rakuten SixthSense Observability – DEM + observability designed for enterprise rollouts, with reviews noting quick onboarding and broad coverage.
- Glassbox – Experience analytics and session replay that surface friction and impact across web/mobile for large enterprises.
I’d love to hear why you chose your platform, how well it scales across regions and teams, and any lessons learned.
I also found this set of tools on G2 that I was looking into: https://www.g2.com/categories/digital-experience-monitoring-dem/enterprise
Hey G2! What are the top DEM tools for monitoring application performance from the user’s perspective? If anyone has used the following, I’d love to know whether the analytics actually changed prioritization and improved user journeys.
- Glassbox (G2 rating: 4.9 out of 5 stars, 802 reviews): Captures/analyses 100% of sessions with journey insights and session replay to surface friction and quantify impact fast.
- Dynatrace (G2 rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars, 1,342 reviews): Real User Monitoring + synthetics with strong service/Kubernetes correlation to trace user-impacting issues end-to-end.
- Contentsquare (G2 rating: 4.6 out of 5 stars, 478 reviews): Experience Monitoring that links performance and errors to journeys and revenue to prioritize the fixes that matter.
- IBM Instana (G2 rating: 4.4 out of 5 stars, 422 reviews): Real-time DEM tied to full-stack observability; maps user interactions to traces/dependencies for faster root cause.
Curious to see what you think! Did any of these platforms’ user-centric analytics materially change your incident response or roadmap?
I’d love to hear from others, which platform gave your team the clearest picture of the end-user experience in production?
