## Benchmark application <a href="#reliability-metrics" id="reliability-metrics"></a>

{% hint style="warning" %}
The Benchmark feature is only available for environments with an active Application Experience license. It will automatically display for any configured web or hybrid application.

Nexthink offers an algorithm-based tool to identify benchmark applications. If the current application is widely used among Nexthink customers, a suggestion will be made. If not, you can select an application from the drop-down list for performance benchmarking.

1. Select an application from the drop-down menu to compare its performance against the current application.
2. Review the available [metrics](#reliability-metrics-1) for **My company** versus **All companies**.
   * **My company** column displays data from instances of the current application installed on your company devices.
   * **All companies** column displays data from over 10,000 devices across over 50 companies, where Nexthink monitors the current application.

| --------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Page load time              | Total load time for an application (client + network + backend).                                                                            |
