15. Recommendations
Employee’s remote
experience
Proactively monitor your users’
experience with the apps they
connect to and get visibility from
their home networks, VPN services,
potential local issues with ISPs or
device performance.
The path to the app
Collab services (i.e., calling, video,
etc.) take different network paths.
Set dynamic testing to emulate
users connecting to their apps and
find issues when traversing the
internet and all the services in
between.
Assure connectivity
of your ecosystem
App marketplaces for collab apps
expand user ability to collaborate
but introduce dependencies and
failure points. Ensure service
delivery of the app and it’s external
services by doing multi-step API
testing.
