Network Performance Monitoring Made Simple

Traditional network monitoring tools show you device status and alert you when something is completely down. But the problems that actually hurt your business, slow applications, degraded call quality, brief spikes in latency, happen quietly, between the polls, and vanish before anyone can investigate.

That's why reactive monitoring isn't enough. By the time a user complains, the window to diagnose the issue is already closing.

Obkio takes a different approach. Lightweight monitoring agents deploy at every network location, offices, remote workers, cloud services, and continuously test performance between all of them, every 500 milliseconds, around the clock.

So you see issues the moment they start, not after your users feel them. You know exactly where the problem is, when it began, and whose responsibility it is to fix it.

Why IT teams Choose Obkio
for Network Performance Monitoring

Stop reacting to complaints. Start seeing issues first.

Most network monitoring tools tell you something broke after users feel it. Obkio uses continuous synthetic monitoring from every network location to detect problems the moment they start. Giving your team the data to fix things fast, prove what happened, and prevent it from recurring.

End-to-end visibility across every site

“Obkio is a valuable tool that monitors the health of our Internet and MPLS links. The precision of the data collected allowed us to isolate problematic situations that the other tools in our possession (which were much more expensive) have not detected. New features, each more innovative than the other, are regularly added to the options already present.”

How Obkio's Network Performance Monitoring Works

No hardware. No complex setup. No specialized expertise required. Obkio is built to get you from zero visibility to full network insight as fast as possible.


Your entire network, monitored from day one


Obkio agents install on Windows, Mac, Linux, or any hardware appliance. Place them at every location that matters (headquarters, branch offices, remote workers, AWS or Azure environments) and Obkio automatically builds a performance map of everything in between.

See what's wrong, where it is, and whose problem it is


Every 500ms, agents exchange synthetic traffic and measure real performance, not just whether a device responds. When something degrades, Obkio alerts you immediately and shows you the exact path where performance broke down: your LAN, your ISP, a VPN tunnel, or a cloud service.

Get A Complete Overview Of Your Network Performance

Obkio gives you everything you need to understand, measure, and troubleshoot your network, without switching between platforms or piecing together data from multiple tools.

  • See all sites and connections in a single view
  • Colour-coded by health to spot problems instantly
  • Click any connection to drill into its metrics

Collect Network Metrics, Analyze Data, Identify Network Issues

Behind every connection in the Chord Diagram is a full set of real-time and historical graphs. Latency, packet loss, jitter, throughput, and MOS score, every metric, every 500ms, going back as far as you need.

When something goes wrong, the graphs tell you exactly when it started and how severe it was.

  • Continuous data, no gaps, no polling delays
  • Historical view to correlate issues with events
  • Shareable reports to prove issues to your ISP

Troubleshoot and Identify the Source of Network Problems

Once you know something is wrong, Obkio's Visual Traceroutes tell you exactly which hop in the path is causing the problem, and whether it's inside your network, at your ISP, or beyond. No more "it could be anywhere." Obkio shows you the precise point where performance breaks down, with latency at every step.

  • Visual path from source to destination
  • Latency at every hop to spot where it jumps
  • Run on-demand or schedule automatically
  • Explore visual traceroutes
