Description
@patrickhulce I've been looking at a adding the other RUM products as per https://discuss.httparchive.org/t/who-are-the-top-rum-analytics-providers/15/25 but notices inconsistencies in the way some of the existing products are classified.
Some RUM scripts (SpeedCurve, mPulse) are classified as analytics, others (AppDynamics, New Relic and RayGun) are classified utilities and they all really belong in the same category.
As a separate thought I also wonder if the analytics category is too wide – GA, Yandex Metrica etc. are very different to FullStory, HotJar, Decibel Insight etc. which are very different to RUM products (at least in their current implementations) – but can see issues with creating extra categories, has here been any thoughts on sub-categories?
