Cloud/SaaS Adoption Lifecycle Best Practices
Baseline
performance from
user locations to
instance (latency,
page load)
Ensure all sites can
optimally connect to
Cloud/SaaS edge
Remediate providers
Test to
Cloud/SaaS
instance from
user locations
(remote users,
office locations)
Define success
criteria, alerts for
each location
Develop and train
on escalation
procedures
Proactively monitor
network & application
layers
Deploy endpoint
agents for remote
workforce
Set up self-service
dashboards for internal
users
Continuously

• Employee Productivity Blind Spots
– Is it an application problem?
– An issue with the VPN or network?
– A problem in the Service Provider
network?
– Bottleneck in the user’s Wi-Fi or laptop?
The Shift To WFH

Endpoint Agent Use Cases
1. Monitor employee experience from anywhere at any time
o Remote workers
o Call centers
o Traveling executives
2. “Last Mile” monitoring
o Insight into the user’s web site experience and ISP performance
o Network topology views - Wireless
3. Troubleshoot performance and connectivity issues
o Correlate end user issues with historical and near real-time user data
