Proactive monitoring has transformed digital experience and now optimizes application delivery
With ThousandEyes, there are some configuration and metric screens that are not entirely intuitive with ThousandEyes, so they can certainly improve in terms of the usability of certain metric screens. ThousandEyes can also offer deeper traffic insights relative to specific applications, so detailed analytics on application-level traffic would help in better understanding and managing our network resources effectively. I would say that ThousandEyes can also, in terms of providing more extensibility with other observability tools, offer more out-of-the-box integrations with other observability tools so that ThousandEyes can serve as that single source of truth, so that we don't necessarily need to go to other tools to be able to be that one-source dashboard. I think there's a lot that ThousandEyes can continue to improve on there. The issues that I've talked about, including extensibility with other platforms and the improvement of accessing specific metric screens in order to be able to provide for fuller access and more detailed access to network-level metrics would make the platform feel less complicated to navigate. It wouldn't require as many manual integration inputs.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Network quality monitoring of multicast TV channels and other network monitorings."
"The live packet capture feature enables quicker troubleshooting and better network monitoring."
"With ThousandEyes, it's one click or one place where I can see all of my public prefixes, how long it takes, when the last update was, where a route was missing from the internet, or is it actually causing a black hole."
"ThousandEyes has positively impacted my organization in terms of network monitoring, network performance monitoring, identifying network graphs and latencies, and monitoring network product availability, which has been very beneficial to our company and projects."
"ThousandEyes gives companies better visibility."
"The solution's most valuable feature is the path analyzer, which identifies the node causing the errors."
"ThousandEyes has positively impacted my organization because of the ability to identify issues proactively."
"My favorite feature is that we were able to see everything on a map."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution was the ability to see how the connection quality is between the sites and get an alert if it was turning bad."
"The solution's initial setup process was straightforward...In terms of ROI, the solution is worth the money."
 

Cons

"The web interface is ok, but I would like to see if it was possible to group jobs better and to create our own dashboards."
"I chose a six out of 10 because it lacks monitoring features for application performance and database monitoring, especially end-user experience; it excels mainly in network performance monitoring and network device monitoring."
"The solution's network and reporting could be improved."
"They only offer synthetic requests, so they should create an agent for users that can track your request."
"I think ThousandEyes could include some other devices or servers and that kind of monitoring capability which currently ThousandEyes is not using."
"I think ThousandEyes can be improved, specifically the licensing model."
"ThousandEyes could improve the dashboards by adding more features."
"Presently, it lacks the ability to integrate with other Cisco products."
"ThousandEyes could improve by implementing a similar incident management system like BigPanda or ServiceNow."
