    Critical for Swift Network Troubleshooting

    Reviewed on Feb 05, 2026
    Review provided by G2
    What do you like best about the product?
    I used ThousandEyes to find problems fast. it helps me see exactly where the internet or a website is breaking, which helps me find the problem in minutes instead of hours. It really assists my team; when my students or staff have trouble connecting to our network, I can identify the exact spot where the trouble is and fix it right away. I like that it uses simple maps and charts to show me the internet, so I don't have to look at boring code or long lists of numbers to understand where the problem is. I really enjoy how easy it is to share what I find with others, as I can send a simple link to my team or a provider to show them exactly what is wrong, so we can work together to fix it faster. I use it with tools like Slack or Microsoft Teams, and ThousandEyes sends a message directly to our chat group when something breaks, so the whole team knows about the problem instantly. We switched to ThousandEyes from SolarWinds because it is much easier to understand and better at showing us what is happening outside our own office, especially with cloud services.
    What do you dislike about the product?
    Sometimes the tool feels a bit complicated because there are so many features. It took me a while to learn where everything is. I wish the initial setup and learning process were a little simpler for new users.
    What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
    I use ThousandEyes to quickly find internet or website problems, reducing troubleshooting time from hours to minutes. It helps my team fix connectivity issues by pinpointing exact problem spots, improving our response time and effectiveness.

    Has improved collaboration with providers and pinpointed issues across regional networks

    Reviewed on Oct 31, 2025
    Review from a verified AWS customer

    What is our primary use case?

    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.

    What is most valuable?

    ThousandEyes has been the most user-friendly tool I have seen in the past couple of years, making life easier in troubleshooting and helping us find what's happening while offering vivid options on how to use the agents or the server-side tools with multiple options to trace out the issues.

    The best features ThousandEyes offers include the ability to place two different points or nodes, such as a server or a node in the cloud in my account, then installing agents and tracing the connectivity which helps me build a perfect user experience to check what's happening while users access my resources.

    I love the dashboards in ThousandEyes and the way I see the results after placing or doing the tests; this is perfect, and I would say this is the best thing.

    ThousandEyes has positively impacted my organization by raising the customer experience and positive feedback by over 70% due to the complex situation with local service providers, allowing me to resolve user feedback and issues which enhanced the user experience significantly.

    I measure the 70% improvement in customer experience through customer tickets and feedback after resolving issues, where previously, users faced problems and limited time on the platform, and after using ThousandEyes, the user time reached up to five to six hours a day, even for teams possibly totaling 30 hours a day.

    What needs improvement?

    ThousandEyes could focus more on end-users than enterprises, as the solution is powerful, and collaboration with multiple cloud providers should be developed for better test traceability, with the introduction of a free version for end-users and enhancements to the user interface for easier navigation.

    Regarding the user interface, I appreciate dropdowns, but I prefer a guided experience where the interface explains itself instead of requiring extensive searching to reach a point.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I have been using ThousandEyes for the past four years.

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    From my experience, ThousandEyes has been stable up to 95%; I have not seen any stability issues.

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    Although I have not encountered a case where I needed to scale up with ThousandEyes, I know that it is highly scalable based on what I have learned.

    How are customer service and support?

    I have not dealt with customer support, but I know ThousandEyes is well known for having good customer support.

    How would you rate customer service and support?

    Positive

    Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

    Before ThousandEyes, I used DirectFN; they offered a good Falcon  DF solution, but I switched because their solution was kind of legacy, hard to set up, and time-consuming for results, which led us to choose ThousandEyes.

    How was the initial setup?

    My experience with pricing and licensing for ThousandEyes is fine; there has not been any setup cost because I am already experienced with the tool, eliminating the need for professional help for installation.

    What was our ROI?

    There has been a great ROI from using ThousandEyes, with significant time saved in troubleshooting as I can quickly pinpoint issues rather than spending time isolating them, alongside enhancing customer feedback and experience.

    Which other solutions did I evaluate?

    I evaluated multiple other options before choosing ThousandEyes, but I cannot mention specific names, and ultimately, ThousandEyes was the one I picked.

    What other advice do I have?

    My advice to others looking to use ThousandEyes is to give it a try, do the demo, and invest in such solutions that will significantly ease the work for engineers and networking professionals.

    I believe ThousandEyes has been helpful along my path, and I look forward to seeing more additions and enhancements to the platform and the solution. I would rate this product a 9 out of 10.

    Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

    Hybrid Cloud

    If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?

    Has revealed issues in monitoring accuracy but improves visibility into third-party performance

    Reviewed on Oct 15, 2025
    Review provided by PeerSpot

    What is our primary use case?

    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.

    What is most valuable?

    The best features ThousandEyes offers include monitoring page load times, assessing how long it takes for an application to load, checking for packet loss and jitter, and monitoring the routing path from the user to the server hosted in the cloud or on-premises. Additionally, you could know if the page is currently loading or not; there are still many more features, but those are what we use at the moment.

    ThousandEyes has positively impacted our organization by enabling us to know if a third-party hosted application isn't functioning properly, allowing us to determine what's actually going on and whether the issue lies on our side or with the application provider.

    What needs improvement?

    An area where ThousandEyes can be improved is in providing more in-depth packet analysis; we've found instances where ThousandEyes indicates everything is okay, but it's actually not. I would recommend incorporating something similar to Wireshark  into ThousandEyes for deeper packet analysis as there are still aspects that ThousandEyes isn't able to determine. When something goes wrong, despite all the investments, certain results remain elusive, so they need to explore areas where Wireshark  excels.

    The knowledge base around ThousandEyes is quite limited; many engineers are unaware of its existence or the benefits it can provide, and this needs to be addressed. On a rating of 1 to 10, I would give ThousandEyes a maximum of five, indicating that there are many areas for improvement, especially in helping engineers understand how to resolve issues related to third-party hosted applications, as opposed to more recognized brands such as Cisco which have extensive resources for independent study.

    Lastly, the servers sometimes require rebooting to monitor applications accurately, which may indicate a potential bug or issue.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I have been using ThousandEyes for almost two years.

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    ThousandEyes is not very stable; sometimes you have to reboot the servers to get actual results.

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    Scalability with ThousandEyes is straightforward as you don't really need to scale; it's designed to monitor multiple applications, accommodating 50 or 100 applications simultaneously, and if you need multiple testing points, you just deploy agents at different parts of your network or different sites that you're managing, which it does well.

    Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

    I have not previously used a different solution, so I don't have any comparisons to provide.

    How was the initial setup?

    Before choosing ThousandEyes, I did not evaluate other options as I do not make that decision.

    What other advice do I have?

    There have been multiple instances when the insight from ThousandEyes has helped my team solve a problem faster or avoid downtime. Before we had ThousandEyes, we were not so sure where the problem was coming from, so for example, if a third-party application goes down or becomes very slow, we could never tell whether the problem was coming from the infrastructure side or from the application provider.

    The application service provider would often tell us that everything is fine on their end, but after checking our infrastructure, we discovered that every other application was fine except this one, prompting a need for in-depth analysis into what exactly is happening and where the problem is coming from so that it can be properly fixed. We then begin to track what's going on with network path visualization, checking the page load time, jitter, packet loss, and every other component.

    My advice for others looking into using ThousandEyes would be to try out a demo to see if that meets their needs and solves their problems.

    On a scale of 1-10, this solution rates as a 5.

    Alerts show exact client issues and boost troubleshooting efficiency

    Reviewed on Apr 29, 2025
    Review provided by PeerSpot

    What is our primary use case?

    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.

    What is most valuable?

    I find the most valuable feature of ThousandEyes is the ability to directly see the client's exact issue. Unlike other platforms where we only receive update notes, ThousandEyes provides the exact error from the client, making troubleshooting more efficient.

    What needs improvement?

    ThousandEyes could improve by implementing a similar incident management system like BigPanda  or ServiceNow . Having a dedicated incident alert system for URL alerts would help manage noise and streamline operations, especially during patch upgrades.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I have been using ThousandEyes for two and a half years.

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    I have not observed any instability, like lagging or crashing, with ThousandEyes so far.

    How are customer service and support?

    I have contacted the technical support at ThousandEyes. There was an instance when the ThousandEyes URL, along with all other URLs, went down due to a network issue. We contacted the support team, and they resolved it within a couple of hours. Their response time and solution were satisfactory.

    How would you rate customer service and support?

    Positive

    Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

    I did not use any alternatives before ThousandEyes.

    How was the initial setup?

    The initial installation of ThousandEyes was easy for us. It was straightforward to understand and allowed us to check and resolve errors efficiently.

    What other advice do I have?

    Overall, I would rate ThousandEyes nine out of ten. Despite its efficiency, it could still benefit from improved incident management.
