About

Elecard Boro is a professional software solution for real-time video stream health monitoring and Quality of Service (QoS) & Quality of Experience (QoE) tracking across distributed networks. Designed for broadcasters, OTT providers, and IPTV operators, Boro utilizes distributed software probes to instantly isolate quality degradation across the entire delivery chain. How it works: Probes analyze UDP, RTP, HTTP, HLS, DASH, SRT, and RTMP streams up to UHD. Multi-point measurements are aggregated on a centralized server, providing instant alerts for ETSI TR 101 290 errors via Email, SNMP, Webhook, PagerDuty, and Telegram. Key Features: • Rapid Start: Deploy probes on any hardware in 10–30 minutes • Deep Diagnostics: Tracks 50+ QoS/QoE parameters, SCTE-35 ad cues, and captures PCAP streams • Smart Dashboards: Visualizes service states and captures stream thumbnails • Easy Integration: Access via an intuitive web interface and integrate using WebHook, SNMP, and ControlAPI

Pros from Real Users

Pros

  • The Elecard Boro Probes significantly boost situational awareness by enabling real-time monitoring of numerous feeds simultaneously. This holistic view allows for a quick overview of all probes, making it easy to identify and delve into the ones exhibiting issues. The email alerting feature is particularly beneficial, as it swiftly draws attention to any problems, ensuring that prompt action is taken to resolve them. This level of immediate awareness and responsiveness is invaluable in maintaining high operational standards and ensuring the continuous delivery of high-quality broadcast content.
  • I am thrilled to share how essential continuous monitoring is for live sporting events. Distributed monitoring is incredibly effective for overseeing signals at the network's border and handing them over to clients. With increased insight into the performance analysis of our transport streams, our TOC team uses the system 24/7 to monitor IP Transport streams (UDP and RTP); from time to time, we also direct SRT monitoring. The probe functionality allows quick identification of specific events and their root causes through event search and root cause identification, which is critical in live broadcasting. One of the standout features is the ease with which new probes can be deployed. This flexibility is particularly advantageous for global networks and the events we work on worldwide, allowing for quick and efficient scaling of monitoring capabilities. The Elecard team provides prompt and helpful support, ensuring smooth operations at all times - from server selection to installation settings.
  • Easy to setup, good support and competitive business model. SSO integration for access control. The only cost effective solution we found to monitor all our streams in HLS + Dash, Encrypted + FTA, at six different steps in our workflow.
  • - Lots of features for monitoring and analyzing transport streams at remote sites. - Detailed customization options for specific needs. - Integrated TS recording. - Customizable alarm plans. - Stable. - Fair pricing.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • - The ability to easy integrate with a wide range of server types (Apache, Nginx, MySQL, Docker, Netstat). - The ability of improvements in handling heavy loads on MySQL servers indicates a tangible benefit in terms of performance optimization. - Having great support team, who helped us to configure the integrations of our servers during setup.
  • Easy to add multiple websites and servers at once. Nice status page, it is customizable and whitelabel, which is important for me and my team. Really handy documentation for adding notification channels. Having WhatsApp and SMS notification channel which is important for me and my team as well.
  • I really like their integration with Apache and MySql. I am having 5 web servers and always I had to login to each of them and make sure everything is working and fine, after using Xitoring I am able to monitor those services from their application. Even the status page is amazing.

Cons

  • Currently I do not have any dislikes about this project, I have sent some features requests, and will await to see how fast they are getting deployed :)
  • The only part I dislike is why I did not find them earlier and spent a bunch of money to other applications. They have great support which make the feature request happen! That is great.
  • I can not say anything I don't like with Xitoring, however I would like to have ability to monitor tcp and udp ports as well. It is yet not possible with them :(
