Break Free from Cisco’s Chains: Embrace Obkio’s Universal Monitoring Power

Say goodbye to limiting, vendor-specific solutions. Embrace Obkio's flexibility.

Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Manager (previously Cisco SD-WAN vManage) is primarily designed to optimize, monitor, and troubleshoot Cisco SD-WAN services. Even though it is capable of monitoring other vendors' devices, it can be clunky or require additional configurations.

This restricts your network monitoring, potentially leaving gaps in visibility for other network services, applications, or devices outside the Cisco ecosystem, which makes it difficult to identify and solve network issues impacting overall network performance.

Obkio removes the limits of vendor-specific tools by offering a solution that covers your entire network – from WAN to LAN. It works with any device or service, giving you the freedom to monitor everything without being stuck with just one vendor.

This flexibility helps you adapt and grow your network smoothly, keeping your IT team focused and your business running efficiently.
