ThousandEyes actually advanced the troubleshooting part and the monitoring of the devices, or I would say the management of the devices with monitoring and to identify the root cause.

For me, all the features are great and make ThousandEyes stand out among other observability products.

ThousandEyes has positively impacted our organization by enabling us to know if a third-party hosted application isn't functioning properly, allowing us to determine what's actually going on and whether the issue lies on our side or with the application provider.

The historical timeline feature is what I appreciate most about ThousandEyes because when people report that something occurs at a specific time of day, I can set up a test and capture the issue in action.

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.

It was kind of a beta experience, I would say. It was not fully developed at that time; it looked like an unfinished project with many gaps.

I think ThousandEyes could include some other devices or servers and that kind of monitoring capability which currently ThousandEyes is not using.

ThousandEyes can be improved by making the installation procedure less time-consuming and enhancing the interface to be more user-friendly.

Regarding the user interface, I appreciate dropdowns, but I prefer a guided experience where the interface explains itself instead of requiring extensive searching to reach a point.

One improvement I would suggest is regarding the login part, as I have not seen if SSO login integration is available in ThousandEyes.

I chose eight out of ten because of the lack of objective performance data.

An area where ThousandEyes can be improved is in providing more in-depth packet analysis; we've found instances where ThousandEyes indicates everything is okay, but it's actually not.

ThousandEyes could be improved by unifying the GUI with the rest of the Cisco products since it remains legacy from its original state when Cisco acquired it.
