  • Patent number: 11863409
    Abstract: Systems and methods for alerting administrators of a monitored digital user experience include performing inline monitoring of network access between one or more users each with an associated user device executing an agent application, the Internet, and one or more cloud applications and private applications. The systems and methods also include obtaining device, application, and network metrics related to the inline monitoring from a cloud system and a logging and analytics system. The systems and methods further include comparing the metrics to one or more alerts comprising alert rules. The systems and methods yet further include sending a notification to one or more administrators when the metrics include data that satisfies the alert rules of the one or more alerts.

  • Patent number: 11838271
    Abstract: Systems and methods include, responsive to a request from a user for one or more Business-to-Business (B2B) applications, redirecting the request, by a cloud-based system, to an identity provider to authorize the user; displaying the one or more B2B applications that the user is authorized to access; responsive to a selection of a B2B application of the one or more B2B applications, creating a first tunnel from the B2B application to the cloud-based system; and stitching the first tunnel between the B2B application and the cloud-based system with a second tunnel between the user and the cloud-based system. The systems and methods further include, responsive to the user being unauthorized for any of the one or more B2B applications, omitting the one or more B2B applications from the displaying, such that the one or more B2B applications are invisible to the user.

  • Patent number: 10938686
    Abstract: Systems and methods for analyzing digital user experience include performing inline monitoring of network access between one or more users each with an associated user device executing an agent application, the Internet, and one or more cloud applications and private applications accessible via lightweight connectors; based on user experience metrics collected by the inline monitoring and stored in a logging analysis system, obtaining user experience metrics for one or more users for a given time epoch and for a given application; determining a user experience score for the one or more users for the given time epoch and for the given application based on the obtained user experience metrics; and providing a graphical user interface displaying data related to various user experience scores for various users over various time epochs with various applications.
