BugSnag Adds Real User Monitoring to Production Visibility Platform
SmartBear is excited to announce that BugSnag real user monitoring is now available for all users.
BugSnag’s production visibility platform now delivers real-time user data to improve app performance and help you balance roadmap agility with application stability. With this new capability, you can now monitor the performance characteristics of your applications from the perspective of the end user.
Performance monitoring could not be more important in today’s digital landscape:
- 70% of users will quit an app if it is taking too long to load [Source]
- 40% of users will switch to a competitor after a frustrating mobile experience [Source]
- 86% of mobile buyers are willing to pay more for a great customer experience [Source]

Benefits of Real User Monitoring
Quickly Surface Issues – RUM enables organizations to quickly identify performance issues impacting production users – even if they don’t report them. That way, you don’t need to rely on support tickets to be aware of poor end-user experiences.
Monitoring Key Operations – With RUM, engineering teams can monitor start times, screen loads, network requests and any other operation chosen to instrument.
Detailed Actionable Data – Span details are captured and displayed intuitively to show engineers exactly where time was spent in an operation, helping them to get to the heart of the problem as soon as possible.
Targeted Segmentation – Filter user performance aggregates and graphs to see the characteristics of relevant attributes including device type, OS version, and app release, allowing fine-grained insight into the performance of different cohorts.
