Akamai mPulse vs. Countly

In general, if you manage a website, you must have a real user monitoring tool. mPulse is one of the leaders in the market, so if you use this product, you can count on the reliability of the product itself. Personally, I think that if you need to collect technical KPIs, mPulse is a good choice. If on top of technical metrics, you want to collect also business KPIs, potentially there are other products doing this better.

Generally speaking, both products allow you to not be blind on your website. Easily, you can see how your website is performing.
