  • Network Path Analysis - these insights are valuable when troubleshooting performance issues, identifying bottlenecks, or optimising routing configurations.
  • Detailed Reporting & Analytics - the platform offers various visualisation options, including charts, graphs, and heatmaps, making it easy to understand and interpret the data collected during monitoring sessions.
  • Advanced Testing Options - there are advanced testing capabilities such as multi-step transactions, scripted browser sessions, and customisable test configurations which help when we need to simulate complex user scenarios.
  • Jump from the old user interface to the new one was a bit confusing
  • Browser script recorder not always creating the correct code - however great Catchpoint support is always at hand to assist
  • Selecting (check/uncheck) test nodes in reports can sometimes be difficult (when there is a lots of nodes used)

  • Global Monitoring: Catchpoint offers an extensive network of monitoring locations worldwide, allowing organizations to simulate user experiences from different geographical regions. This capability helps identify performance variations based on location, ensuring a consistent and optimal experience for users across the globe.
  • Alerting and Root Cause Analysis: Catchpoint offers robust alerting mechanisms that notify organizations when performance thresholds are exceeded or anomalies occur. These alerts enable prompt incident response and troubleshooting. Catchpoint's root cause analysis capabilities help identify the underlying causes of performance issues by analyzing network conditions, DNS resolutions, server responses, or content delivery problems.
  • Integration with IT Service Management (ITSM) Tools: Integrating Catchpoint with popular ITSM tools like ServiceNow or Jira would facilitate seamless incident management and ticketing workflows. This would enable organizations to streamline their incident response processes by automatically creating tickets and synchronizing relevant monitoring data for faster resolution.
  • Enhanced Reporting and Analytics: While Catchpoint provides reporting and analytics features, expanding the range of visualizations, customization options, and advanced analytics capabilities would further empower organizations to derive actionable insights from their monitoring data. This could include more sophisticated anomaly detection algorithms, predictive analytics, or comparative benchmarking against industry standards.

  • Good fast response time on alerts
  • Easy to manage test tree organization
  • Relatively straightforward test step definition
  • Sometimes difficult to investigate a single failed test run
  • No capability to manually run another test in order to make the state shift back to improved
  • Continue to increase the number nodes for testing

  • Easy to login with SSO
  • Easy to review the test runs over the last hour or specific time period
  • Easy to check the results of any Catchpoint test that ran. This helps to understand why the test results may or may not be what is expected
  • I can't wait for the new Symphony UI to be completed because it is so much richer that the previous UI
  • The ability to monitor the Catchpoint nodes with the ability to setup a take a recovery action based on specific criteria
  • The ability to tell us when we are at X% capacity so that we better plan or budget for increasing the "capacity" of the Catchpoint nodes before we get to an overloaded state. The capacity utilization graph is not a reliable indicator for this metric. How can the capacity utilization rate get above 100%, it does not make sense

  • Performance Chart Metrics: series of graphs and a chart summary. The number of graphs drawn depends on the metrics and settings chosen for the chart.
  • Catchpoint synthetic test that will be set up target an endpoint or URLS
  • Catchpoint Real User Monitoring (RUM) collects data from users browsing our sites via a JavaScript snippet.
  • Catchpoint with some declarative language as IaC to manage and run the service

  • Synthetic testing of websites
  • Customization of tests via header injection, DNS overrides, and other advanced features
  • provide waterfalls and other types of visualizations that are data-driven and information-heavy
  • assist the entire company in deciding what sort of changes have to be made on our sites
  • The rollout of the new UI has been painful and slow. Many features were either slow to roll out or did not roll out with feature parity.
  • the API had historically been lacking certain features, though this is getting better with the onboarding and building of the v2
  • we have been asking about a terraform provider for years now, it would be a great addition
  • sometimes support is not the greatest. our team and account reps are excellent, however first line support is sometimes not the most efficient

  • Details the system response times
  • Details to a degree the possible steps for improvement regards functions
  • Assists developers with vital information on step execution
  • Makes it easy to view at a glance multiple sites and their overall status
  • Script recording could be more stable. Should be as smooth as chrome developer recording.
  • Needs a way to modularize the code so we don't have to repair in broad sections when it breaks because of some unplanned code change on our end.
  • How about a tutorial on selenium as relates to Catchpoint.
  • Some of the functions could have better descriptions.

  • This tool gives us the notification regarding the down time of certain pages
  • It helps in collecting the mobile device performance of the site as we are using a mobile-first approach. The performance of our mobile sites helps in deciding the new approach of designing the future designs as the mobile traffic is performance-sensitive
  • Whenever we integrate other systems it helps us in giving a clear picture of how much site performance has been impacted by enabling certain features hence they allow us to make decisions to optimize the code for that integration
  • The Catchpoint tool sometimes gives immediate notification alerts when certain pages are down. This becomes sometimes false alert for us, for example, if the system is on maintenance then it gives notification regarding them at all times
  • Catchpoint should use some machine learning techniques regarding the traffic on site and based on those should send out or process the decision to throw a notification.
  • There should be a provision in Catchpoint to add certain non-availability times of our server so that we can relax the notification for some time so that we are not notified of false flag alerts if the system is on maintenance then we should configure the times in catch point so that notification can be relaxed

  • Number of available nodes for running the probes
  • Waterfall - possibility to go in details of a specific test
  • Impossibile to generate automatic report with a comparison with the previous period
  • Impossibile to aggregate the data of multiple tests. If I run a test for 1 week, I would like to have the "global waterfall", instead, for understanding more, I have to go test by test, this is time-consuming
