Heavy Networking 540: Sinefa Blends Network Data, Synthetics To Measure End User Experience (Sponsored)

Network monitoring has been around for a long time, but the explosion of software in networking means that monitoring is practical and, dare I say, it easier than ever. More importantly, people are finding that network monitoring in 2020 actually works.
In today’s sponsored show, we talk with Sinefa about its Digital Experience Monitoring capabilities. Sinefa brings together multiple domains including network traffic, DPI, end point monitoring, and synthetic transactions to get clear, accurate, and actionable information on how network performance affects the end user experience with applications. Sinefa says it can also speed up the resolution of front-line troubleshooting.
Sinefa relies on software and hardware probes at branch locations, the data center, and in cloud VPCs; as well as synthetic transaction capabilities; an end user agent; and a SaaS platform to ingest and analyze data.
Our guests from Sinefa are Chris Siakos, CTO; and Alex Henthorn-Iwane, VP of Product Marketing.
We discuss:

* Observability for understanding end user application performance
* Making operations and troubleshooting as easy as possible
* Combining network traffic and synthetics for a more full picture of the end user experience
* Benefits of the end user agent, including the ability to identify Wi-Fi issues on home networks
* Customer use cases
* More
