    Understanding Digital Experience Management (DEM) Scores

    The Netskope DEM User Experience Score is designed to provide visibility into network and device performance. To ensure accurate reporting, specific data requirements must be met within the 5-minute ingestion window.

    Composite Score Calculation

    The Composite Score requires data from at least 2 of the 4 main sub-score categories (Device, On-Ramp, SaaS/Custom App, and Private App). If this minimum data threshold is not met, a composite score will not be generated.

    Device Contribution Score Requirements

    Device health telemetry is foundational to your experience score. Ensure the following conditions are met to maintain accurate reporting:

    • Connectivity: The Netskope Client must be online with an active Internet Security Tunnel.
    • Resources: Endpoints require more than 10MB of free disk space to support telemetry collection.
    • Processor Metrics: Valid CPU metrics must be available. If performance APIs fail to return data, the device score cannot be calculated.
    • Compatibility: Ensure the Netskope Client is updated. For versions below 114 on Windows/macOS, specific legacy flags must be enabled in your tenant.
    • Network Visibility: On Windows, hidden WiFi networks may not be detected by standard APIs, which may cause the WiFi sub-score to report as 0.
    • System Language: Windows performance counters are currently English-only; localized operating systems may impact throughput metric collection.

    On-Ramp / Network Contribution Score Requirements

    • Connectivity: The Netskope Client must be online with an active Internet Security Tunnel.
    • Data Availability: Valid Round-Trip Time (RTT) data is required from network probes. If network conditions result in dropped or deprioritized packets (e.g., ICMP/UDP), RTT values may be unavailable.

    SaaS / Custom App Contribution Score Requirements

    • Connectivity: The Netskope Client must be online with an active Internet Security Tunnel.
    • Traffic: Traffic must be steered through a Netskope POP for inline monitored applications.
    • Activity: There must be active transactions within the 5-minute window for scoring to occur.
    • Configuration:
      • Ensure application probes are configured in the DEM settings.
      • For Enterprise tier, at least one of either App RTT or App Probe data must be present.
    • Probe Health: Probe targets must be reachable and return valid responses.

    General Troubleshooting for Score Availability

    If you notice blank or unexpected values, keep in mind that scores are computed in 5-minute intervals. Scores can be recalculated for up to 1 hour after the initial generation to account for data delivery delays. If scores are missing, verify:

    • Data delivery is within the 5-minute window.
    • There are no active service outages affecting DEM.
    • Network latency is not delaying the ingestion of performance data from the Netskope Client or browser extension.
