Conclusions / Recommendations • Consider support requirement for non-technical employees • Working environments may vary and intermittent issues can be challenging to troubleshoot. You need correlated data to quickly identify where the problem is. • Many of the most critical applications for employees today are cloud or SaaS, you need a holistic end-to-end view of your employee's experience. • Collaboration applications can be challenging, with connections to multiple services such as chat, video and voice. This can change for every user and every session. Make sure you can dynamically monitor all traffic flows. 27 © 1992–2022 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. @ThousandEyes
