Cisco ThousandEyes is a solution that provides end-to-end visibility into network performance and application experience, particularly in campus environments that rely on Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) applications and cloud-based services. It helps organizations monitor external services, ensuring that users have a reliable experience even when accessing applications hosted outside their direct control. Key benefits include reducing fault isolation time from days to minutes and optimizing application performance across various networks.

Cisco ThousandEyes integrates seamlessly with Catalyst 9300 and 9400 Series switches, particularly for those with a Cisco DNA Advantage subscription. This integration allows organizations to run network and web tests at five-minute intervals, providing insights into application performance and network metrics. It enables visibility into both internal and external service delivery paths, helping to correlate performance data and improve overall service reliability.

Cisco ThousandEyes is available through Cisco DNA Advantage subscriptions, which allow users to run scheduled tests on applications and network endpoints. Each subscription includes the capability to run one network/web test every five minutes, with additional test capacity available for purchase. Customers with Cisco DNA Essentials subscriptions can upgrade to unlock the full benefits of ThousandEyes, enhancing their IT management experience.
