About Obkio
Obkio is a simple Network Monitoring and Troubleshooting SaaS solution designed to monitor end-to-end network performance (from WAN to LAN), of all networks types (SD-WAN, MPLS, VPNs, Cloud) from the end user perspective.
Obkio is designed to be distributed, and leverages Network Monitoring Agents and synthetic traffic to continuously identify the causes of intermittent VoIP, video, and applications slowdown in seconds.
Obkio also uses SNMP to monitor network devices such as firewalls, switches, and routers.
Identify the data you need to troubleshoot and ultimately improve the end-user experience.
Obkio's centralized dashboard lets users visualize network data and performance graphs, and sends smart notifications. The experience quality feature converts network performance metrics into a quality score based on the end-user experience.
Some of Obkio's key features include network metric measurement, VoIP monitoring, network assessment and troubleshooting, bandwidth monitoring, visual traceroutes, network analysis, historical auditing, and end-user simulation using synthetic traffic.
Obkio enables team members to analyze network performance parameters in real time and compare it with historical data to identify trends.
Some additional features includes Obkio's Visual Traceroute Tool, application monitoring tool which runs tests to report incidents and pinpoints intermittent issues., and cloud monitoring using agents located in major cloud providers such as AWS, Azure and Google, to their Obkio account.
Key benefits of Obkio
- End-to-End Monitoring: Obkio covers your whole network by monitoring your local network (LAN, VPN), as well as third-party networks (WAN, ISP, and Internet Peering).
- Distributed Architecture: Obkio uses a distributed monitoring strategy to monitor modern network architectures (cloud, SaaS, SD-WAN, MPLS) and the real end-user experience.
- Network Metric Measurement: Obkio understands and measures the performance metrics that matter most. Obkio uses synthetic traffic to monitor key network metrics like jitter, packet loss, latency, VoIP Quality (using MOS Score), network speed, QoS and more.
- Monitor Network Devices: Monitor metrics related to network devices like bandwidth and CPU usage as well.
- Network Problem Identification: Obkio uses tools like Obkio’s Advanced Visual Traceroute tool, Obkio Vision, to monitor performance and identify intermittent network issues in your local network or Service Provider's network.
- Proactive Troubleshooting: With continuous monitoring, Obkio identifies network problems as soon as they happen (even before your users do), and collect the data you need to troubleshoot as fast as possible.

We provide Hosted VoIP Services to our customers, so having the ability to quickly and easily determine internet service performance is crucial, and no company that we have found offers the flexibility, accuracy and ease-of-use of Obkio.
Pros
Accurate internet performance measurement and monitoring
Ease of use
Ease of deployment
Support for Raspberry Pi, Windows and Linux
Detailed breakdown of performance issues using weighted scoring
Cons
The ability to generate detailed historical reports is missing, but I believe they are working on that.
We would like to be able to have more options for exporting the current monitoring view with the titles and labels.
