About Founded in 2004, NetBrain brings Agentic NetOps to enterprise operations with complex hybrid-cloud networks. Pre-built AI agents grounded in a NetOps Harness, the network context engine, provide governed execution of the entire lifecycle from diagnose, change, and assess to prevent and predict. The platform turns each diagnosis into deterministic automation deployed across your network, eliminating recurring issues faster and at lower cost. Governed execution means agents' actions are grounded before they touch your network, making agentic operations safe and trustworthy. Connect and enrich your cross-domain ecosystem across ITSM, observability, and cloud platforms.		About Obkio is a network monitoring software, observability and diagnostics platform that gives IT teams, MSPs, and network engineers full visibility into network performance, from the office to the cloud. As a leading Network Performance Monitoring (NPM) tool, Obkio deploys lightweight monitoring agents at any location to continuously track latency, jitter, packet loss, and bandwidth, and run Visual Traceroutes across the entire network path. Obkio supports SD-WAN, MPLS, VoIP/UC, and multi-site network monitoring, plus application performance monitoring (APM) with HTTP, Web, and Teams tests. With Obkio Insight, diagnostics are automated, helping teams pinpoint whether issues originate in-house, with an ISP, or a third-party service, and hold providers accountable with real data. Fast to deploy with no hardware required, Obkio turns network data into clear diagnostics and insights. Helping teams reduce downtime, validate SLAs, and prove the performance they're paying for.

Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros The product is very easy to install and we can start using right away. it gives us exactly what we need to know and we can see problems with our network before users are impacted. we can decide what we want to monitor and pay only for what we need. This product can tell us what impact changes to our network can do. - Easy to setup and configure. - A product I wish existed a long time ago. - Great for VOIP troubleshooting. - You pay for what you use, no surprises. You can add an agent to a remote computer and see where the problem resides and then remove it at very low cost. - Good variety agents available (we had one for our all external products). - You can dive into complex investigations very easily. - Great Dashboards and state of the Network - Able to be pro-active when network issues arise. - Great team for sales and support. No need for a technician to the install the agent, a simple user can do it. Documentation is accurate and clear for everyone. Obkio lets us monitor our internet connections around the world and address issues before users notice. Very easy to setup and use. Good variety of public agents available. You pay for what you use, nothing more. Gives a good amount of information. Great tools to visualize the state of a network. Good wiki. Cons Nothing except we would like to have more time to use all the features provided by the product. Nothing so far I can think of, like I said very easy to use and very powerful. Nothing comes to mind right now. I am satisfied with how I use it. Our team is not sure how to pronounce it. Is the O a hard or soft O? Nothing comes to mind right now!
