Pulse Insights brings your software team greater visibility

****No matter what your role entails in your software team, one common goal is to ensure that your end user is having the best possible experience in your web applications. A large part of a great software experience is performance – how fast your pages are loading for example. Being able to drill down into exactly how end users are experiencing your application is one of the best ways of measuring application performance.

But what does success look like to you? How can you help improve UX and get the whole team on the same page about end user expectations? Performance monitoring may look very different across job roles, and getting a clear picture may be getting lost in translation between front end developers, product managers and technical leaders. High level charts on page load speed don’t necessarily help developers, while code snippets don’t help product managers.

Pulse Insights (the latest feature update for Pulse Real User Monitoring) can help alleviate that confusion by offering one tool that any team member can quickly access tailored, up to date information on website performance issues.

We asked our different members of our team exactly how they use Pulse Insights to get the peace of mind they need around performance in the following job roles:

• Front end developer 
• Product manager
• Technical lead

You’ll need to be able to dig deeper into the issue if needed and get up to date information on how your web application is performing without having to disturb your development team. Pulse Insights gives technical leaders this information quickly and in a digestible format:
