# [[Real User Monitoring]]
Real User [[Monitoring]] is a type of [[Frontend performance testing]] that involves embedding a script into application changes to track the experience that real users have. This is different from [[Browser-based testing|browser-based tools]] or [[Performance profiling|performance profilers]] because RUM does not _simulate_ users; it monitors real ones.
## Tools for RUM
- DynaTrace RUM
- [[New Relic RUM]]
- AppDynamics RUM
- Pingdom
- Akamai mPulse
- Akamai Boomerang (JavaScript library)
- Catchpoint
- [[Grafana Faro]]
