What does it mean to Keynote monitoring users now that Dynatrace is switching them to their cloud-based system?
Keynote monitoring’s demise means the end of location-based monitoring at Dynatrace.
The cloud is no place for monitoring
Dynatrace’s system uses cloud-based servers to conduct its monitoring instead of testing from user-based locations that Keynote uses. Your users aren’t in the cloud, so testing from the cloud doesn’t accurately simulate real-world conditions. Congested networks, slow devices, and poor Internet architectures are the norm for many users, and your testing should reflect that. Supercomputers in the cloud can’t approximate real-world speeds.
What about network latency?
Users' connections vary worldwide because connection types, local infrastructures, and the devices used. Testing from the cloud often is testing other cloud-based sites and services where many real-world conditions don’t exist. You get cloud-to-cloud measurements that don’t make an accurate representation of your users' experiences.
Clouds may be everywhere, but The Cloud is not
Tech giants put their data centers that house the cloud servers in densely populated technologically advanced locations. The concentration of these data centers ignores large parts of the world. For example, Google’s doesn’t have any regions located in African, the Middle East, or Northern Asia. South America and Australia only get one region each. Is it realistic to expect tests to accurately reflect user experiences in South Africa when the closest data centers may be in Europe?
Real User Monitoring can fill the gaps
You can’t rely on RUM to catch your localized issues, especially when it comes to uptime. Cloud-based monitoring doesn’t capture huge parts of the world where outages may occur. RUM only tests user experiences during uptime and can’t report downtime. When users can’t connect due to localized issues, you learn about them when users complain.
