About 2Steps

2 Steps helps you to understand end-user experience. Whether it's a customer using your website or an employee accessing a CRM, 2 Steps enables you to observe how your users are experiencing the performance of your applications.

No technical knowledge is needed for you to run 2 Steps on your website. The system runs on the no-code vision. This way, you can still integrate measures such as 2FA or Multi-Factor Authentication in your web-based end-user experience activities.

Because 2 Steps is codeless, anyone with basic computer skills can create a 2 Steps test through a simple point-and-click process after only minimal training.

A schedule can then be created in as few as three clicks. That means you can get a working suite of tests running within minutes, with results arriving in
Splunk immediately, with no special configuration required.

2 Steps is also agentless, meaning there is no need to install a special script in your application to allow 2 Steps to monitor it, requiring security checks and
sign-off from IT teams. You can build tests as soon as 2 Steps is up and running in your environment.

Of course, tests will still require maintenance from time to time, as few websi...

tes or applications remain entirely static. However, with 2 Steps, any modifications to your tests can be made by a non-technical person using the same GUI tools as were used to record the test in the first place. In the end, what all this means for your business is cost savings and less ramp-up time before you start seeing the benefits of monitoring your mission-critical systems.

    Easiest frontend application performance monitoring solution I've seen!

    5

    Very pleased. It is rare something is as easy to use as the promises in a slick demo always suggest. I would say that 2Steps has been even easier to use than expected. Works great and has already provided advanced warning on multiple occasions of application performance issues in our Citrix environment.

    Pros:
    Ease of use. Building and scheduling tests with complex workflows is a breeze. I was able to setup tests for many of the applications we are monitoring in just a few minutes. The scheduling options are impressive and the level of granular control not only helps with managing unnecessary alerting but also with efficient consumption of my 2Steps licensing.
    Cons:
    There is nothing really not to like. It performs as promised and when questions did come up, customer support was quick to address. So far a very smooth process.

    Reasons for choosing 2Steps

    Ease of use and flexibility in types of applications that can be tested.

    Pros:
    The ability for someone new to sythetic monitoring to record, replay and schedule a synthetic test is excellent. This makes for end users who 2steps & splunk aren't part of their daily workloads - feasible to record and monitor the plethora of websites Application SME's are dependent on
    Cons:
    variability of scripts to handle advanced business logic, inability to deploy nodes on windows OS makes expandability to end user offices harder

    2steps review after three months of use

    5

    2steps helps us in monitoring overall performance changes for our core business application on a continuous basis. We are able to experience the response time of the system as a real end-user. In case of changes we can directly relate it back to version releases, upgrades, patches, network changes, etc.

    Pros:
    It's able to handle al type of applications, even the old fashioned client/server based, windows client installations and any local installed application. It's very easy to create recordings and you can build automated test scripts with the same tool to auto test certain scenario's.
    Cons:
    The reporting part is not that mature. I would like to see easy to use dashboards and integration with BI. The installation and setup also requires expertise from the headquarters in Australia, so there are limits to the time window for support when located in Europe.

    Reasons for switching to 2Steps

    Ymonitor is twice as expensive and the supplier not willing and able to be flexible in usage and pricing conditions.

    Excellent Product

    5

    As im working for clients and the environments are quite large, Deploying the 2steps was the best decision that they could take. This is because 2steps offers real time monitoring over the metrics, the performance analysis are very understandable even if you dont have long experiance with 2steps and also the great part is you dont need to spend long hours to detect the issue, or to write the whole new script behind. The tools are amazing for troubleshooting, and from my own experience, i didn't need more then 15 min to resolve the client issues.

    Pros:
    The most impactful objects in general are the Web pages that are used by the clients. However, with 2steps that makes our life easier and the troubleshooting is very straight forward. I enjoy using the 2steps as there are no codding required, and with one click we can do everything. The integration wasn't complicated as the 2steps app is available in Splunk base and was very easy to deploy that in the clients environment.
    Cons:
    To be honest, the 2steps is very useful and its very easy to be used even without experience!

    I just can mention, as desired feature, to be able to upload external pictures to which compare from in tests. For example, when we have external screencaptures from exceptional app messages, and we would want to add them in conditionals in a certain step of the 2Steps´s test.
