Request Metrics is presented as a fast, simple, and affordable way to monitor the real user performance of a website.

Glassbox
Glassbox is a customer experience management platform that provides various tools, including Interaction Maps, to help organizations understand and improve the customer journey. Some specific scenarios where Glassbox is well suited include: Identifying pain points in the customer journey: The Interaction Maps feature provides a visual representation of customer interactions, allowing organizations to easily identify where customers may be struggling and take action to resolve the issue. Proactively addressing issues: With the Interaction Maps feature, organizations can proactively address issues as they arise, rather than relying on customer feedback to identify problems. Improving customer service: By understanding the customer journey, organizations can improve the overall customer experience and provide top-notch customer service. On the other hand, there may be some scenarios where Glassbox is less appropriate, such as: Organizations with a limited budget: Glassbox is a subscription-based service, so it may not be suitable for organizations with a limited budget or those who are not willing to make the investment in customer experience management tools. Organizations with minimal online presence: Glassbox is primarily focused on improving the online customer journey, so it may be less appropriate for organizations with a minimal online presence.

Request Metrics is great for small web development teams that want to make fast web applications. It was quick for us to get started and we could use the reports right away without having to read through documentation. If you just need to get some performance metrics, Request Metrics is perfect. It would not be so good for a larger team or a complex backend application as it is pretty limited in what it can measure.

We also consider Speedcurve and Calibre for monitoring. Speedcurve was really nice, but the reports were slow. We had to wait a lot to get information. It was also out of our budget and would require extra justification to use it. Calibre was also nice, but the numbers were based on synthetic rather than real user performance. We felt that this wasn't as helpful for us.
