My main use cases for ThousandEyes at my current company are leveraging ThousandEyes for digital experience, internet, and internet performance. I'm using ThousandEyes for full network path visualization and network performance, application delivery. I also leverage ThousandEyes for overall ISP, public cloud, edge service monitoring, and what we call digital experience monitoring, which we're using ThousandEyes' endpoint agents to monitor user-side network health, metrics, and application responsiveness. I'm also using ThousandEyes for website and SaaS delivery optimization as well.

I use ThousandEyes for digital experience monitoring by leveraging their endpoint agents to monitor user-side network health, such as Wi-Fi and VPN metrics and application responsiveness to ensure that our applications are performing, are performant and are meeting and exceeding delivery expectations.

We use ThousandEyes in conjunction with our full end-to-end, full-stack observability offering, and we're using ThousandEyes to address critical performance issues. This is to be proactive about knowing how to address issues before they arise and how to ensure that our applications are always performant.

My main use case for ThousandEyes is to keep an eye on vital enterprise tools, which are mostly cloud-hosted in the form of SaaS apps. It helps us provide visibility into our performance and availability and also figure out when issues occur and who is the responsible party. It is also used to monitor all our public-facing services hosted in our private data center.

A quick specific example of how we use ThousandEyes in our day-to-day work is that we usually use it for observability purposes, monitoring and alerting, and identifying an issue before the customer does. We monitor nodes in the colocation facility around our location in the USA. The biggest problem that ThousandEyes addresses is being able to do off-net tests to compare our network with external networks. This allows us to create historical baselines and verify reachability for customers that may have issues getting to specific websites. Sometimes those issues are local, but ThousandEyes helps us verify if they are global or part of a larger issue.

ThousandEyes is deployed in my organization using a hybrid cloud model with AWS as our cloud provider. We purchased ThousandEyes through the AWS Marketplace.

We use ThousandEyes in our day-to-day activities to try to fix problems quickly and ensure a smooth experience for our customers.

My main use case for ThousandEyes is troubleshooting, with a specific example being testing connectivity through IXP to ensure the fastest route in collaboration with service providers over the region.

ThousandEyes helps with troubleshooting and collaborating with service providers by providing a sample or proof of issues at a certain level, which helps us prove what's happening when service providers act as if the issue isn't from their end.

I have been using ThousandEyes for the past four years.

The main use case for ThousandEyes is in the visualization of paths and it also helps in troubleshooting, software optimization, and understanding where there is packet loss. It enables me to troubleshoot if there is a downtime and also provides visibility to notice if there is an internal network problem or ISP problems. These are the primary use cases. ThousandEyes enables me to be aware of any performance degradation before users report any problem or issues are being reported.

A great specific example where I used ThousandEyes in solving a problem is as a tool for troubleshooting. I use it in troubleshooting complex network applications, especially with the integration of ThousandEyes with AWS. We use it to monitor our ISP, our third-party services, and also to monitor our DNS and our software application performance. The usage of ThousandEyes really helped in creating an end-to-end visibility. Instead of guessing where there might be a network issue, ThousandEyes made it very clear whether the problem was in our internal network, ISP, or a third-party service.

ThousandEyes really helped me in noticing latency issues in our network. This really helps a lot for us to know how to improve our network, especially when it comes to performance issues or ISP issues. Also, in our cloud and SaaS performance monitoring, it helps us to monitor the actual users in our SaaS applications and also to detect packet loss outside our own infrastructure. Because our own infrastructure is hosted on AWS, ThousandEyes being hosted on AWS really helps us to detect any packet loss in our infrastructure and also notice any performance against incident periods and identify anomalies very clearly. Another good use case that helped me so well is that ThousandEyes helped me to confirm whether performance actually improved or if new issues were introduced, especially when I'm trying to monitor packet loss or latency issues.

My main use case for ThousandEyes is to monitor third-party applications; we monitor BGP paths to the cloud, so if applications are not hosted in our own private cloud, we monitor what's going on in terms of third-party applications.

A specific example of a third-party application I monitor with ThousandEyes is a clinical system called Rio; we monitor them to know the performance because they are not hosted in our own private cloud.

Although we do monitor our own applications hosted by ourselves to see what could be going on from multiple sites into our data center if something is going wrong, my main use case for ThousandEyes remains focused on third-party applications.

My main use case for ThousandEyes is network and endpoint observability.

A specific example of how I use ThousandEyes for network and endpoint observability is running synthetic tests from endpoints against SaaS applications, as well as against egress routers.

We use ThousandEyes primarily for monitoring our production and BCP servers. We specifically utilize it to monitor URL alerts. We have multiple applications, and at times, URLs may go down due to patching schedules or upgrades. When that happens, ThousandEyes sends an alert, allowing us to see the exact error and client details. This helps us determine what the client is experiencing, and we can then contact the relevant team, such as L2 support, to resolve the issue. View full review »

ThousandEyes is an AI-based element. 

I felt it is slightly more intuitive, providing more end-to-end service delivery because it’s integrated with AI.

The usage is okay. The tool is helpful. It shows the impact assessment and structures that impact.

For application and user monitoring, we have been using it for different healthcare users. We have different sales-based solutions for healthcare.

Their user monitoring is slightly more practical. We’re really using it in user monitoring and Internet insights, which include customer journeys and creating those elements. That is more practical, I felt.

A few teams are still not using it completely. A few teams are partially adopting it. Only in the US and a few parts of Europe are they use it. But in Japan and a few other Asian countries, they are not using it. Only a few units in the US and Europe are using it.

So, it might add more value as it go into network operations. In the context of healthcare organizations, it might need slight improvement. Otherwise, it is good.

I was in a pure consulting role. See, I work with McKinsey and a few other organizations. What I do is support in bridging. I’m supporting three or four healthcare institutions and also an automobile organization where I see immense potential. 

So, my role is more strategic: how the tool system would help, how it will contribute, and how it will help the product managers and product owners define the roadmap execution. Also, the service management team, how do you look into execution design? My role is more strategic.

We usually monitor for our public prefixes and propagations and if they are getting dropped or there is a route application. It is mainly on the public-facing side or the internet-facing use case. There are other use cases, however, for me, for the work that I do, that's what I'm using a ThousandEyes for.
