    We specifically use Zscaler Digital Experience (ZDX) for monitoring critical apps and apps that are known for having connection issues. Some critical SaaS apps for example would be Zoom (call quality), Genesys (call quality), Microsoft Services, Service Now, etc. Zscaler Digital Experience (ZDX) is perfect for quick troubleshooting and providing a quick Mean-time to Innocence (MTTI) for Zscaler since it is often blamed for issues given it is our forward proxy and primary means of internet security.

    Feels often hard to discern what tab one needs to be in to see relevant information. If I am in applications looking at it and I find a few people have issues, I then have to leave the applications tab to go to each individual user and discern why they are having issues instead of being able to select all of those individuals and lump them together. It does do geo grouping though which sometimes helps.

    We have also used Cisco Thousand Eyes and NextThink. Imagine a product that offers the best of both worlds and is still somehow more powerful and easier to deploy than either one- that is Zscaler Digital Experience (ZDX).
