Catchpoint introduced RUM Session Replay, a feature that provides WebOps and IT teams with a user’s perspective of web interactions, transforming each session into actionable insights to resolve and prevent issues proactively.
RUM Session Replay is part of Catchpoint’s industry-leading web performance and optimization portfolio and is immediately available to all WebPageTest Expert customers at no additional cost. By combining best of breed synthetic testing with real user experience data, organizations can move beyond uptime metrics to achieve true digital performance optimization. Session Replay provides developers and site reliability engineers with video playback of real user sessions, including clicks, scrolls, form entries, and DOM changes. This level of visibility eliminates guesswork and makes it easier to reproduce and resolve tricky front-end bugs or performance issues far faster than with traditional diagnostic methods. By connecting these interactions with frustration signals, such as rage clicks, quick backs, and bounces, teams can debug faster, reduce abandonment, and improve customer satisfaction.
What makes Catchpoint’s Session Replay different?
While some IT Ops tools offer variations of session replay capabilities, these are often fragmented across multiple tools, creating operational complexity. Catchpoint’s unique advantage lies in delivering session replay natively within its IPM platform, alongside Real User Monitoring (RUM), advanced synthetics, BGP monitoring, and distributed tracing, providing a single consolidated solution for end-to-end digital experience management.

With Session Replay in their IPM arsenal, our customers are better equipped to protect their customer’s trust and the reputation they have built over the years.”
Matt Izzo, Chief Product Officer at Catchpoint added, Developers often say that debugging front-end issues without context is like working blindfolded. We set out to change that.
