The catch

Same caveat as ThousandEyes — it's outside-in experience monitoring, not your-LAN SNMP polling, so don't expect interface graphs for your own gear.

The honest take

The main credible alternative to ThousandEyes, often pitched on price. Same category, same caveat: it watches the Internet between you and your users, not the hardware in your racks.
