A network performance monitoring software can help you pinpoint the cause of problems like dropped calls, slow downs, or connection losses.

But when exactly do you need one?

Here are three use cases…

1. Network Assessment
You’re deploying a new service that relies on network connectivity to function.

You need to make sure the network connection is strong and reliable before the service is deployed.

What do you do?

Before the service deployment, perform a network assessment to validate that end-to-end network performance is strong and reliable enough to sustain the new service.

2. Troubleshooting
Your end-users start reporting intermittent service performance and slowness issues.

Everything looks fine from your end, but you can’t assess the connection between your customer and their infrastructure, because it’s being hosted by a third-party.

What do you do?

Deploy a monitoring solution that measures end-to-end network performance to identify issues located within the custom LAN, Firewalls, or Internet access.

3. Continuous Monitoring
Service providers (MSPs) can’t troubleshoot past intermittent network issues if the issues disappear by the time the customer reports them.

What do you do?

Deploy a continuous monitoring solution to identify issues before the user realizes there are any.

Why do you need network performance monitoring?

Essentially, you want to make sure you’re always:

  • Monitoring
  • Testing
  • Fixing
