What is QoE (Quality of Experience)?
A Comprehensive Guide | Delivering Top-Tier Network Experiences with QoE
Elevating User Satisfaction in Modern Networks
Introduction to Quality of Experience (QoE)
Quality of Experience (QoE) is a user-centric metric that evaluates satisfaction with digital services, particularly in telecommunications. In this sector, QoE plays a pivotal role in assessing how users perceive network performance during activities like voice calls, video streaming, and online gaming. It focuses on key factors such as call clarity, network reliability, latency, and buffering, which directly impact user satisfaction.
Unlike traditional performance indicators that focus solely on technical aspects, QoE incorporates subjective user feedback, offering a holistic view of the user’s experience. For telecom operators, QoE insights are essential for addressing customer concerns, optimizing network resources, and supporting innovations like 5G and IoT. By prioritizing QoE, providers can enhance customer loyalty, reduce churn, and differentiate their services in an increasingly competitive market
Since 2009, Axiros has been pioneering QoE solutions that access any IP service exactly as a user would, measuring quality from the user’s perspective. These QoE performance indicators are user-centric, whether it involves the time it takes to download a webpage, access a service, place a phone call, change a TV channel, or log into an interactive service. Axiros removes the guesswork from impact assessments, providing factual information to guide operations, prioritize investments, and build SLAs.
Quality of Experience Management
Quality of Experience Management (QoE Management) enables telecom brands and ISPs to monitor and enhance service quality by tracking customer satisfaction and addressing feedback proactively. Effective QoE Management reduces dissatisfaction, boosts customer retention, and identifies potential service issues before they escalate. It is a critical tool for maintaining high service standards and fostering long-term customer loyalty.
Quality of Experience Monitoring
QoE Monitoring assesses and analyzes user satisfaction with a service or application by measuring digital service performance from the user’s perspective. It integrates technical metrics and subjective user feedback to provide actionable insights. This ensures consistent service quality by identifying and resolving issues such as latency and buffering.

QoE Monitoring is essential for ensuring user satisfaction and loyalty. By addressing issues like poor audio-visual quality or service interruptions, providers can meet user expectations and improve customer retention. It also offers insights into user behavior, enabling providers to tailor services and maintain a competitive edge in the market.
Challenges of Undifferentiated Service Quality in Modern CSPs
Today, CSPs often do not differentiate the quality of their services or offer special incentives based on revenue potential. Most service policies are based on a best-effort approach, treating all customers and services equally, which results in shared bandwidth and common network latency and speed issues.
This lack of differentiation, particularly for data-heavy and latency-sensitive services like video, leads to reduced QoS and poor customer experience. Additionally, the best-effort delivery model limits CSPs' ability to offer personalized services to premium customers, leading to missed opportunities for upselling and bundling.
Undifferentiated QoE also frustrates premium customers, who expect personalized service, as seen in sectors like banking and retail. Moreover, poor experiences deter consumers from engaging with content, reducing revenue potential across the Telco-Media industry.
