Riverbed Reviews, Ratings & Features 2026 | Gartner Peer Insights

Gartner defines digital experience monitoring (DEM) as the measurement of the availability, performance and quality of the user experience of applications. This can include internal users (employees), external users (customers and partners) or a digital agent connecting to an API. In addition to performance, DEM enables observability of user behavior and journeys based on their interaction with applications.
DEM tools allow I&O leaders to understand the availability, performance and reliability of business applications, networks and infrastructure by focusing on understanding the user experience. This is in contrast to other performance monitoring approaches, such as observability platforms, that understand the inner workings of applications.

Riverbed Aternity has significantly improved monitoring across our application. I have Unified Agent installed on my PC and whenever there is any problem with the application I can just quickly verify the data on Aternity across multiple users/agents and find possible root cause faster. It provides real-time analytics and detailed endpoint telemetry. You can poll any metric at any time.
