Cisco ThousandEyes

I use Cisco ThousandEyes for network connectivity and to process app issues.

So we are using a CTP space CT PS means we can collect the if you are trying to access any kind of website or they're trying to access the internet or they're trying to access anything like our internal portal. So this tool can help us to identify latency or slowness or any kind of glitch or something. So they all record it in a post data. So that is very helpful In our day-to-day work.

We have not only the endpoints, but I think we have the enterprise agents. We have two categories, the endpoints and the enterprise agents we use. We have each one in each of our offices. So if there is a problem specifically on providers or internet circuits, that's when we use the product to help us in monitoring and troubleshooting primarily.

It is vast, we have SD-WAN that connect 8000+ hotels.

We are in the middle of a POC. Many of our issues are Internet related and the business does not see that. They assume all issues are local network issues. This helps us identify the true root cause that is mostly external to our network. Initially, we had management complaining about all of our issues with MS Teams and the video conferencing units from Polycom that are MS Teams registered. Now we have the ability to show them the issues stem from MS and not our network. This has helped us as network administrator greatly, and has also helped management see that Cisco video conferencing units with Webex was superior to our new polycom and MS Teams.

We are still very early in our deployment, but we have over 100 customers and this has already proven to be a GEM of a product. We have already been able to demonstrate to customers using Cisco ThousandEyes that many variables impact user experience besides the network!

Cisco ThousandEyes is a great product that gives us great visibility into our general network environment. The product is easy to use and deploy.

Complex troubleshooting of systems using synthetic user experience models

Have it installed on cores to watch traffic. Installed on end points at POC to troubleshoot specific individual problems with connectivity.

We use ThousandEyes (TE) in conjunction with AppDynamics to assist in monitoring applications, application availability, and application health. TE allows us to add network visibility and performance into the APM data we get with AppDynamics.

Troubleshoot applications end to end

I use Cisco ThousandEyes for visibility into bandwidth bottlenecks and high CPU alarms. I have a live dynamic map of my R/S network as well!

In our organization we are a highly secure organization. We also have a need to troubleshoot the network. Thousand Eyes helps bridge that gap by providing a method of troubleshooting and monitoring despite our security protocols.

Used to monitor our network. We have it integrated with Webex to alerts which cover our network and collaboration endpoints. Using the agent to monitor remoted users connections is extremely helpful to determine if any issues are due to the remote workers home internet or network. We also use the Cisco ThousandEyes agent to monitor workstations or servers to troubleshoot any issues that occur. It's a great tool for network monitoring and helps us find the causes of any network issues a lot faster than traditional troubleshooting. It's also a great tool for monitoring from data center to data center and ISP connections. If you are wanting a tool that covers monitoring for your entire network then this is a great tool. It's also good for monitoring Cisco's entire sweet of collaboration tools, including Webex. There are many easy to read and use dashboards and to setup the agent and monitoring is pretty straightforward. We use Cisco ThousandEyes daily to monitor. We continue to find new monitoring uses reasons and so far are really happy with what this tool brings to our organization. In a lot of cases it allows us to be more proactive than reactive. Allowing our network team to remedy issues before end users even notice them.

Interesting tool gives very good insights to those situations were other teams just blame the network, I do love the level of granularity of the agents insights - deployment documentation could be improved but is simplified if you leverage DNAc.

Monitoring domains, services, traffic, getting metrics on what, how and where the issue happened. Additionally, checking the quality of services. (e.g., ms teams) audio, video quality. What might cause delay, high jitter, packet loss. Knowing at which hop the traffic got impacted, caused by an internal issue or provider issue.

We use ThousandEyes to monitor network journeys inside and outside of our estate.
We are monitoring multiplatform services and ThousandEyes allows us to view services end to end.

We're using it to support new application go lives.

With a hybrid workforce it is imperative to have visibility of how users are able to maintain stable connections to applications, especially in real time and latency sensitive applications such as MS Teams, Webex, etc. With ThousandEyes, it's possible to dive deep into the end users problem and discover the gremlins with ease, be it resource usage on the endpoint, wireless connectivity at home or at the office, or service provider issues along the connectivity path. ThousandEyes truly lives up to their name.

We use ThousandEyes at our business to observe SAAS applications in the cloud. In that case, we can always see what is happening and where the problems are. In the future we will also use ThousandEyes to monitor internal traffic to see exactly where the bottlenecks are and what we can do to avoid or fix them.

End user observability, customer demonstrations of the product, network observability

We use all 3 agent types. End user, cloud and enterprise. The cloud agents focus on ‘outside in’ monitoring. Enterprise maps our estate across multiple platforms.

Advanced end to end troubledshooting, works well with proxy and VDI monitoring.

I have 4 years of using ThousandEyes, and I usually use it to monitor the bandwidth between locations to specific destinations using our outbound connections (Proxy/Firewall), and is really handy for troubleshooting purposes, also you can create alerts to monitor evert X minutes if you have the connection values desired. It's a great tool to have in any IT Network Security related Team.

We are using ThousandEyes to monitor a variety of things, from BGP routes path to SaaS application performance. ThousandEyes is reliable in detecting issues and often able to pin down the exact cause of an issue. It is integrated with most of the recent Cisco products from Meraki suit, Cat route, Cat9k switch and etc. which made deployment very flexible and easy.
