IPM supercharges your observability platform

APM is a great tool for monitoring the performance of your application. And IPM is a great tool to ensure that it can be reliably experienced by your users around the globe.

End user perspective

APM indirectly infers the state of an end user’s experience. IPM directly observes from where it matters – where their experiences occur. By combining them, orgs have full end-to-end visibility.

No more blind spots

Agent-based APM cannot monitor the Internet Stack (third-party dependencies, external factors like Internet outages, overloaded CDNs, critical third-party APIs, etc). IPM can proactively monitor them with no required agent installations.

Less noise; more signal

APM requires a high threshold of events before surfacing any types of intelligence. Conversely, IPM alerts may be fine tuned per nuanced specifications. By combining both types  of intelligence, organizations have optimal signal-to-noise ratio.

AI-powered precognition

Augment your APM application service map of the application stack with Catchpoint's intelligent, front-end service dependency map enabling you to see the past and present to infer the future state.

APM + IPM

Let's compare what you can monitor with APM vs IPM

Not all synthetic monitoring is created equal

Yes, APM vendors may also offer synthetics, but they do little more than monitor at the source – providing no visibility into the user experience as your users aren’t in the cloud. You need Internet Synthetic Monitoring.

Catchpoint is the only IPM-focused provider offering Internet Synthetic Monitoring from over 3,000 globally-distributed intelligent agents.

‍Internet Synthetics enable you to emulate real end-user behavior. With over 40 out-of-the-box monitors (including infinite bring-your-own options) and the world's largest intelligent agent network, Internet Synthetic Monitoring allows you to test and monitor all your Internet Stack components from where your users are.
