Read the page as a transparent path: establish context, inspect the evidence, then test the published stance.
Catalog position
RUM is a Datadog child focused on observed browser and mobile user sessions rather than generated synthetic tests [1].
Evidence boundary
Coverage does not imply complete session capture, universal replay, or a single privacy and retention policy across platforms [1].
