Experience Score

The Experience score gives you an indication of the health of a Mobile User, Application, or Remote Site.

  • ADEM or Strata Cloud Manager Pro license
  • (For Real User Monitoring (RUM)) Prisma Access Browser license with the ADEM Browser Plugin installed
Autonomous Digital Experience Management (ADEM) gives you a sense of the performance of an application by assigning the app domain an Experience Score. ADEM calculates the experience score for an app domain using synthetic and real user monitoring (RUM) metrics available for the selected time period.
For information on how experience score is calculated for remote sites, refer to Calculating Experience Score for Remote Sites.

Synthetic Metrics Score

To calculate experience score from synthetic metrics, ADEM uses two key metrics: Time to First Byte (TTFB) and Availability.
  • Availability:
    • 0: Application experience score is 0.
    • Available: Application experience score is based on TTFB ranges.
  • TTFB, composed of:
    • DNS Resolution Time
    • TCP Connect Time
    • SSL Connect Time
    • HTTP Latency
  • ADEM displays experience score using a color-coded scale:
    • Good (green): score >=70
    • Fair (orange): score 69-30
    • Poor (red): score <30
When the experience score drops below 70, ADEM identifies the root cause by analyzing the following segments:
  • Device
  • Wi-Fi
  • LAN
  • ISP
  • App
ADEM calculates the synthetic metrics score every 5 minutes. If ADEM detects poor performance, it will associate a single root cause with the application for the next 5-minute window, until the issue is resolved.

Real User Monitoring (RUM) Metrics Score

ADEM evaluates user experience with the following RUM metrics:
  • Largest Contentful Paint (LCP): Measures the time taken to render the largest visual element in the viewport.
  • Interaction to Next Paint (INP): Assesses interface responsiveness by measuring how quickly the app responds to user interactions (e.g., clicks or keypresses).
  • Availability:
    • 1 when HTTP status is successful.
    • 0 otherwise.
RUM Experience Score Calculation
  • If Availability = 0: The application score is set to 0.
  • Otherwise, the score is the minimum of LCP Score and INP Score.

Combined Experience Score

  • When both Synthetic and RUM metrics are available, the experience score uses only RUM metrics.
  • When RUM metrics are unavailable, the experience score uses only synthetic metrics.
