What Site24x7 Synthetic Monitoring is

Site24x7 Synthetic Monitoring simulates multi-step user workflows in real browsers to monitor web-application availability, functionality, and performance. A no-code recorder captures transactions for playback in Chrome, Firefox, or Edge, and existing Selenium IDE cases in .side format can be imported. Recorded transactions can run from more than 130 global monitoring locations. For diagnosis, the product provides step-level timing, resource waterfall charts, screenshots, and root cause analysis reports. Intelligent Capture detects changes to interactive page elements and updates transaction scripts. Example workflows include logins, checkouts, payments, banking, healthcare portals, e-commerce, and SaaS. Listed integrations include ServiceNow, PagerDuty, Slack, Microsoft Teams, Jira, and webhooks. The Trust Center lists security controls such as audit logging, role-based access, MFA, and encryption at rest and in transit, alongside compliance items including ISO/IEC 27001, SOC 2 Type II, GDPR, and CCPA. The 30-day fully functional trial includes web transaction monitoring and requires no credit card. Recording allows up to 20 steps with an advanced license. Synthetic transaction add-ons are listed at $8 a month for Professional and $10 a month for Enterprise, each for 10,000 runs.
