Hey everyone, we've got a customer with about 2,000 employees who is on the hunt for a solid network observability tool or platform. We're gearing up for a discovery call with them to gather requirements, and I'll keep you all updated on what we find. In the meantime, I'm looking for any insights on reputable tools you've used in a professional context. I've already heard of some options like LogicMonitor, SolarWinds, Datadog, New Relic, and Dynatrace, but I'd love to hear what you folks have experienced! Thanks in advance!

ThousandEyes is a great option worth considering. It offers comprehensive network performance monitoring.
Have you checked out Coroot? It's an open-source observability platform that uses eBPF to capture telemetry. It gives you both application-level and network-level insights without needing any manual setup. Definitely something to look into if you're okay with open-source solutions.
If you want more traditional monitoring, consider integrating an SNMP exporter with a Grafana stack. It's a solid way to scrape health metrics from your network devices and visualize them in dashboards. Riverbed and Upguard also provide excellent observability options for network performance.
Just a heads up, tools like Datadog and New Relic are more focused on app monitoring rather than true network observability. There are different approaches to network monitoring: one involves keeping an eye on routers and switches using SNMP, while others might focus on traffic flows for security auditing. If you're looking for datacenter solutions, you'll likely want to focus on the first type. Just thought I’d clarify that!
