Gartner^® defines digital experience monitoring (DEM) tools as those that measure the availability, performance, and quality of the user experience (human user or digital agent) of critical applications. This can include internal users (employees and contractors), external users (customers and partners), or a digital agent connecting to an API. In addition to performance, DEM technologies enable observability of user behavior and journey based on their interaction with applications.

Gartner^® has over 100 Gartner Magic Quadrant™ reports, which are a standard for objective market analysis covering 1,000+ technology and technology service vendors. Through their evaluation criteria, Gartner provides deeper insights.

At SolarWinds, we believe that Gartner^® provides advice that guides its clients to the most beneficial technology providers and services for them.
