Cloud adoption is no longer a trend – it's the foundation of modern business. PWC's 2024 Cloud and AI Business Survey found that 95% of organizations use the cloud in some capacity,1 and it's easy to see why. Cloud computing gives businesses the agility to adapt quickly, scale efficiently, and support teams working from anywhere in the world.
However, as companies shift more operations to the cloud, they face new challenges in managing security and connectivity across their expanding digital environments. Cato Networks simplifies network management with industry-leading SASE solutions – and now they’re taking a major step forward in user experience optimization by adding Digital Experience Monitoring (DEM).
At Impulse, we’re excited to help our clients deliver consistent, high-quality user experiences with Cato’s new DEM-enhanced SASE Cloud platform. Learn all about Digital Experience Monitoring and what it can do for your business below.
What Is Digital Experience Monitoring (DEM)?
Think of Digital Experience Monitoring as your network's health monitoring system – but instead of checking vital signs, it shows how users experience your applications and network in real-time. Unlike traditional monitoring tools that focus solely on network metrics, DEM gives you insights into how your apps actually perform for your end-users.
With Cato DEM now included in Cato’s SASE Cloud platform, you can track performance metrics like latency, packet loss, and jitter across your entire network environment – essential for remote workers and globally distributed teams who rely on consistent connectivity.
4 Benefits of Cato’s Enhanced SASE Platform With DEM
Adding DEM to Cato’s industry-leading SASE Cloud platform transforms how businesses monitor and optimize their network performance. Here’s what makes this new feature a game-changer for organizations looking to deliver better digital experiences:
1. User-Centric Performance Monitoring
Cato DEM moves beyond traditional infrastructure monitoring to focus on what really matters: your users' experience. This feature helps IT teams monitor business-critical apps in real-time to ensure your employees can work without any technical hiccups.
2. End-to-End Visibility
Cato DEM provides a clear view of your entire network, making it easy to spot issues whether they're in the cloud, across your WAN, or at user endpoints. IT teams can quickly identify and fix problems before they can wreak havoc, keeping disruptions to a minimum.
3. Proactive Problem Resolution
Real-time alerts and detailed analytics help IT teams catch and address network issues before they can affect your users. Stay ahead of potential disruptions and maintain a reliable digital experience for your entire organization.
4. Simplified Management
Cato integrates DEM capabilities directly into its SASE architecture, eliminating the need for multiple monitoring tools. Your IT team gets a single-pane-of-glass view of your network, simplifying management for security, connectivity, and performance.
