Obkio Network Monitoring App Releases New Free Visual Traceroute Tool

MONTREAL - March 30, 2022 - PRLog -- Why Obkio Vision

Businesses are increasingly moving to cloud-based applications, which increases the reliance on the Internet to deliver WAN traffic. Although people are more dependent on the WAN, it's always been a weak spot for IT people when troubleshooting problems.

This puts the responsibility of troubleshooting on the ISP, which creates a lot of back-and-forth to resolve the problem.

"We worked for telcos for 20 years and realized that most people had a lot of difficulty troubleshooting problems related to their WAN, on the Internet."

Pierre-Luc Charbonneau, VP of Sales & Marketing @ Obkio

To help people identify and troubleshoot Internet problems more easily, Obkio has released Obkio Vision.

"Obkio Vision is the tool we always dreamed of! Vision is an advanced visual traceroute feature that runs continuously to precisely localize problems in your network. We wanted to offer this tool for free because we wanted to be able to help the community without creating any barriers."

Jean-François Lévesque, CEO @ Obkio

Obkio Vision Highlights

Obkio Vision empowers users by interpreting real data for you and identifying Internet and WAN problems more effectively.

It collects data about problems like packet loss and latency that users can share with their ISP - so your ISPs support can't just tell you to reboot your modem.

Some of Obkio Vision's next-generation diagnostic features include:

• Quality Matrix graphical diagram to view multiple destinations over time.
• Network Map with a visual representation of the network paths to the destinations and  its own Quality Score that helps pinpoint network issues.
• Traceroutes to measure metrics like packet loss, latency and jitter.
