Our take

ThousandEyes uses synthetic monitoring probes to measure network performance, allowing IT teams to collate data across network hops while algorithms flag potential sources of disruption like DNS and VoIP exploits, BGP vulnerabilities, and outages.

According to ThousandEyes, what sets it apart from the competition is its ability to monitor operations over third-party datacenters with pre-provisioned infrastructure-as-a-service vantage points.

They're seeing a lot of traction with large companies in the US, with customers like Box, PayPal and Slack. Companies like their products because they deliver mission-critical visibility into every network these companies rely on.

That reputation caused the company to become an acquisition for Cisco in 2020. Now the startup is part of the IT giant, it has benefitted from a multitude of sectors increasing their reliance on digital services and cloud-oriented strategies.
