SaaS monitoring is an integral part of every product environment based on software as a service. There is a steady rise in new adoption and conversion to SaaS from legacy systems across businesses and industries. Constant and consistent SaaS monitoring ensures that companies offer the best services to customers and have an advantage over their competitors.
Challenges in SaaS Monitoring
Every SaaS-based business faces many challenges in providing uninterrupted service to customers and strives to overcome them. SaaS monitoring plays an important role here as it can determine the strategy to move forward. Resolving challenges quickly will avoid any major hiccups. Here is a look at the challenges that you should be aware of.
- Availability - if any one component of your SaaS package malfunctions, it can affect the whole system. You need to ensure there's some backup so that users don't face any downtime.
- Performance and User Experience - All of the transactions and activities the user does through the software must be smooth in terms of performance and speed.
- Resource usage - businesses must ensure that there is no resource wastage with their SaaS. A scalable environment normally takes care of this problem well.
- Manual monitoring - the many components and the data generated shouldn't have to wait for time-consuming manual monitoring. Automating monitoring tasks can avoid a lot of problems down the line, along with saving human resources and time.
- Security - Data and resource security should always be a priority for businesses regardless of the nature of their business. The SaaS environment should be secured from all types of potential breaches.
