A seamless user experience is crucial for employee productivity and satisfaction in today's digital landscape. However, traditional monitoring tools often fail to provide real-time insights into the end-user experience, particularly given widespread SaaS adoption and remote work. This is where ServiceNow Digital End-User Experience (DEX) comes in.

From Reactive to Proactive: Gaining End-to-End Visibility

ServiceNow DEX empowers IT organizations to shift from reactive troubleshooting to proactive issue prevention. Unlike siloed monitoring solutions, DEX offers end-to-end visibility across user devices, applications, and networks, regardless of location. This comprehensive view allows IT to:

  • Identify potential issues before they disrupt user workflows.
  • Gain valuable insights into user experience from their perspective, even for SaaS apps outside the traditional IT purview.
  • Troubleshoot issues more efficiently with contextual data from user devices.
