If your organization has a poor-performing network, it can result in poor network connectivity and security.
Network connectivity and security issues often reduce employee productivity and cause network vulnerabilities that lead to cyberattacks costing your organization hundreds of thousands of dollars to repair the network.
For this reason, reliable network performance and security should be a top priority for all organizations to help them avoid these problems.
However, there are many network solutions available so it can be difficult to determine which solution is the best one for your organization.
Coeo understands how important a reliable network is to an organization and has delivered thousands of solutions to organizations in order to improve their network connectivity and security to help them avoid cyberattacks.
By the end of this article, you will understand what SASE is, what SASE Digital Experience Monitoring is, and if they are good fits for your organization.
What is SASE?
SASE is a cybersecurity network that combines an SD-WAN solution with enhanced security.
Combining SD-WAN and enhanced security provides organizations with better network connectivity as well as network security in one cloud-based solution.
SASE identifies users and devices in the network and applies policy-based security rules resulting in secure access to data regardless of where users are connecting from or what devices they are using.
Since SASE solutions are installed on the user's devices, they provide constant security across a network no matter where the network is being accessed.
This enables data to be delivered directly to a connection source instead of having to be sent to a data center to be monitored and inspected resulting in less latency and faster network speeds.

What is SASE Digital Experience Monitoring?
SASE Digital Experience Monitoring (DEM) can be enabled on Versa’s SASE solution that Coeo provides to remote access client devices to periodically monitor network and application performance for these devices.
DEM enables secure access clients to collect many different granular metrics from a user device. These metrics include WIFI signal and internet strength, local network signal, and application metrics such as jitter and data packet loss.
These metrics enable users to understand what is causing high latency issues, packet loss, or any other network performance issue.
The benefits of SASE Digital Experience Monitoring
SASE’s Digital Experience Monitoring can enhance the network performance of any organization. The benefits of SASE Digital Experience Monitoring include:
Improved employee efficiency and productivity
SASE Digital Experience Monitoring enables you to monitor your employee productivity and the websites they are visiting.
This will help your organization if you are dealing with poor productivity and efficiency issues caused by employees visiting websites not required to perform their job well.
The ability to identify websites that your employees are visiting will enable you to block them if they are hindering their efficiency and productivity.
For example, if your employees are visiting Netflix and YouTube during work hours, they may not be maximizing their contribution to the organization. Using DEM, you can filter and block websites like these to improve employee productivity.
Easier to solve network issues
If your organization has a poor network monitoring service, it may be more difficult for your organization to optimize, monitor, and maintain network performance. Reliable network performance is important for an organization to prioritize to ensure a successful business.
When your network is performing poorly and your employees are experiencing high latency, it can be difficult to identify the problem that is causing the latency.
However, with SASE Digital Experience Monitoring, your organization can determine exactly what is happening that is causing the latency whether it is a WIFI issue, a problem with the device they are using, or an issue with the network infrastructure.
DEM will enable you to quickly address any network issue ensuring it is solved in a reasonable amount of time to prevent a poor-performing network.
Is SASE a good choice for your organization?
Now you understand what SASE is, what SASE Digital Experience Monitoring is, and the benefits of SASE Digital Experience Monitoring. However, it is also important to determine whether SASE is a good fit for your organization.
If your organization has a poor-performing network, SASE may be a good fit for your organization to help avoid network connectivity and security challenges.
This will help your organization avoid employee productivity issues and network vulnerabilities that lead to cyberattacks.
Additionally, if your organization is looking to improve employee productivity, SASE may be a good choice to help filter websites like Netflix or YouTube that hinder employee productivity.
If your organization wants greater control over network issues, SASE may be the right fit for your organization to diagnose and solve these issues so that your network can perform to the best of its abilities.
However, if your organization already has a reliable network and reliable network management, your organization may not need a SASE solution.
Determining whether SASE is the right fit for your organization
Now you understand what SASE is, what SASE Digital Experience Monitoring and its benefits are, and whether SASE is the right fit for your organization. This will help you determine if your organization should invest in a SASE solution.
Organizations can’t operate effectively with a poor-performing network that causes connectivity and security issues.
Poor network connectivity can adversely affect employee productivity and poor network security can lead to vulnerabilities that result in cyberattacks that cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to repair the network.
For this reason, reliable network performance should be a top priority for every organization to avoid these detrimental consequences.
However, because there are many network solutions available on the market, it can be difficult to determine which solution is the best choice for your organization.
Coeo understands how important a reliable network is to an organization and has delivered thousands of network solutions to organizations to improve network connectivity and security and help them avoid cyberattacks.
We want you to understand what SASE Digital Experience Monitoring is so you can determine if it is the right fit for your organization.
