Why Synthetic Application Performance Monitoring is Important?

Easy to deploy and consume

Get robust visualization and actionable insights that are consumable to all levels of leadership. Interact with an API client for our services, with no need to go into the portal or to deploy an agent.

  • Reduce Application Downtime Monitor endpoints to stay on top of potential problems and reduce app downtime.
  • Validate DNS Resiliency and Configuration Ensure that end users can always reach your applications.

Single-screen observability

Gain a holistic view of your app delivery performance and security from a single screen. See the blast radius of infrastructure impacts and drill down as necessary into critical apps.

  • Assess Baseline App Performance and Availability Track, detect, and resolve issues impacting the digital experience.
  • Understand Blast Radius Quickly see what other apps may also be at risk of outages.

Security-focused analytics

Leverage our TLS monitors that automatically generate TLS reports and summary scores for your endpoints based on exposed vulnerabilities, TLS protocols, offered ciphers, and more. Stay current with security, TLS posture, and certificates across apps.

  • TLS Scoring Summarize TLS posture into a single score and grade.
  • Identify Vulnerabilities Scan for exposed TLS vulnerabilities.

Cloud-agnostic tracking across all endpoints

Compare uptime and performance across environments or architectures. F5 Synthetic Monitoring is decoupled from the data plane delivering applications to give an unbiased picture of digital experience

  • Test Third-Party Service Providers Validate that service-level agreements (SLAs) are met.
  • Optimize Application Deployments Test different app deployments for optimization.
