An Accurate, Easy-to-Use, Easy-to-Deploy Network Performance Tool

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.

Reason for choosing Obkio

We looked at many options, but there was nothing close to Obkio for meeting our needs. We also like that they are responsive and easy to work with regardless of the issue or question.

Reasons for switching to Obkio

PingPlotter has a service that only support Windows, and we don't want to be forced to deploy Windows appliances due to cost and complexity. Also, their solution was not reliable and didn't provide the same level of accuracy or low overhead.

Vendor Response

Hello Kevin, Thank you so much for taking the time to post this great review! We're so happy that Obkio was able to help you with performance issues and we're always looking to improve our solution. We are actually currently working on more reporting functionalities and hope to release them during our next feature release. Cheers, The Obkio Team

Network monitoring

Obkio is a tool that helps us every day to diagnose network problems. It gives us visibility on the latency of internal and external links. It is a very simple tool to deploy and gives us added value on day 1. The Obkio team guided us to be productive quickly. I recommend this product to anyone who administers networks.

PROS

Easy to deploy and dashboarding easy to use

CONS

Nothing the product offers a lot and is still in development

Reason for choosing Obkio

The quality of the product and the POC that was done with the trial version

Great insights into network performance

The team there is highly responsive to feature requests and is a pleasure to work with.

PROS

We've been using the Obkio platform internally, as well as deployed to customers, for just about 2 years now. What's kept us on the platform despite many alternatives being pitched to us is the simplicity in setup, combined with the excellent reports generated. It's quite easy to pre-stage devices before they go onsite so you start getting alerts and data within minutes of it coming online. There's also an excellent API available if you want to pull some statistics of your own, and the developers are fantastic to work with.

CONS

The licensing for extra administrators can be a little confusing at first, when we run into this issue we usually make single read only account that is shared amongst people interested in looking at the reports.

Vendor Response

Hello Mike, Thank you so much for your positive feedback and for taking the time to post this review! We're so glad that you're enjoying Obkio and that our team has been able to help as well! It's our customers that allow us to constantly improve so we'll be looking into our licensing model to hopefully make it clearer for our users. All the best, The Obkio Team
