With today's reliance on Wi-Fi and the growing use of SaaS and IoT, IT departments are facing new challenges to deliver the best user experience possible.

To provide a consistent level of reliability and performance, the User Experience Insight solution enables IT to proactively simulate real-world user and client experiences. IT can continuously monitor network connectivity and the performance of wireless and Ethernet connections in critical, high-value locations like office spaces, retail, education, healthcare, and similar types of environments.

Customizable test scripts and easy to deploy sensors provide application and network insights for any vendor-agnostic wireless and wired network dealing with the influx of mobile and IoT devices. In addition, this allows IT to get in front of service issues before they occur. 

HOW IT WORKS 

The Aruba solution includes simple to deploy sensors, cloud-based data processing and an easy to use webbased administrative dashboard that can be accessed from anywhere. This solution is ideal for any organization and IT team tasked with delivering the best possible network experience with their user's connectivity and application performance in mind. 

THE PURPOSE BUILT SENSOR 

Sensors can be placed within any area where users or IoT devices are located to reduce the time to identify and resolve application responsiveness and user experience issues. The sensor is placed at the same height that user's devices are placed or held, to continuously run simulated tests over Wi-Fi or Ethernet connections.

Tests can be set up for LAN and WLAN connectivity, DHCP, DNS, authentication, captive portal response, cloud and internal applications.

Installing the sensor, even in extremely remote locations, is simple due to built-in out-of-band cellular connectivity for onboarding and setup. This reduces the time and effort normally required to go on-site, install, diagnose a problem, and put a resolution into action

CONFIGURATION AND VISIBILITY

The cloud-based analytics and insights engine provides a robust and scalable model that allows IT to centrally configure and run tests for today's emerging SaaS or internal applications. Pre-configured templates or custom defined tests can monitor the most important apps and services. For example, tests can automatically ping a server to confirm responsiveness, or run a script through a headless browser to see how an application is performing before users encounter a problem. 

The web-based dashboard is designed with simplicity and one-glance visibility in mind. It changes how a dashboard should work. A unique, continuously updating, five-column traffic light model easily lets you see when things are working great and when they're not.
