What is Akamai mPulse?

mPulse, from Akamai, is a real-time end-user digital experience monitoring solution (or RUM, for real user monitoring) that enables the user to capture user experience data, optimize website performance, and measure ROI.

Real User Monitoring.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

If you are a person (business/tech) managing a website, you must have in your ecosystem a tool like mPulse: you must know how your website is performing in order to put in place the right countermeasures. I leverage mPulse to help the website's administrators to know what is the performance of the website from a technical and business point of view. Indeed, the product is able to collect technical and, also, business metrics.

Pros

  • Real time data: you can know in real time how your website is performing.
  • "What if" functionality to choose, from a business point of view, the right web pages to improve
  • Understanding what are the slow pages and seeing the impact on the global performance from a technical and a business point of view.
  • Waterfall functionality - possibility to go in details to a specific session.

Cons

  • The creation of a specific dashboard is not easy. You can leverage the available dashboards but if you need something else is not so easy to achieve.
  • Old UI - the look and feel of the product should be improved. It seems very old.

Most Important Features

  • Dashboard for consuming collected data.
  • What if functionality.

Return on Investment

  • Choose the right pages to optimize.
