Today’s Challenges

Slow apps stall the business.

No visibility into where performance breaks
Troubleshooting takes longer without hop-by-hop data
Hard to prove ROI without performance data
Poor performance reduces user productivity

Visibility gaps across the path

Enterprises lack visibility to pinpoint whether poor performance starts at the endpoint, local network, WAN, PoP, or application.

Longer troubleshooting

Without hop-by-hop visibility, troubleshooting takes longer and issues are often found too late.

Hard to prove ROI

Improvements after SD-WAN, SSE, or ZTNA rollouts are harder to prove without comprehensive performance data.

Productivity suffers

Poor performance visibility leads to extended user wait times and reduced productivity across the enterprise.

Blind spots

Reactive

Slow RCA

Tool sprawl

Our approach

Full end-to-end visibility.

Cato DEM provides end-to-end visibility across the full user-to-application path, combining real user monitoring, synthetic probes, device insights, and AI-driven analysis to identify issues faster, prove experience improvements, and help IT resolve problems before users, branches, or applications are impacted.

It’s definitely helpful. For example, the perfect scenario is when you tie Zoom meetings into Cato’s digital experience monitoring. You get a one-stop shop for all the data points to identify what the problem is. It’s great.
