# Obkio Network Observability & Network Monitoring SaaS Solution

Obkio is a network observability and network monitoring SaaS solution that provides continuous network performance monitoring and troubleshooting for distributed networks. It helps IT teams proactively detect, diagnose, and resolve network issues by giving full visibility into end-to-end network performance.

Obkio uses network monitoring and observability principles; continuous synthetic monitoring, real-time performance data, and contextual analysis - to identify network problems before they impact users. Unlike traditional network monitoring that focuses on device health and availability, Obkio observes actual network performance (latency, packet loss, jitter) from the end-user perspective across the entire network path.

The platform deploys lightweight monitoring agents at key network locations that continuously exchange synthetic traffic to measure performance. This provides always-on visibility into network behavior, making it possible to catch intermittent issues, identify degradation trends, and troubleshoot problems with precise hop-by-hop analysis.

Obkio is designed for businesses with distributed networks, remote offices, SD-WAN deployments, and hybrid cloud environments. The platform enables both proactive monitoring and fast troubleshooting through features like Visual Traceroute, automated alerting, and historical performance analysis.
