About

Cisco ThousandEyes is a network intelligence platform headquartered in San Francisco that provides enterprises and service providers with end-to-end visibility into digital experience across the internet, cloud infrastructure, and SaaS applications. Originally founded in 2010 and acquired by Cisco in 2020, ThousandEyes operates a distributed network of monitoring agents—deployed in enterprise locations, cloud regions, and backbone provider networks—that continuously measure network path performance, packet loss, latency, and service availability from the perspective of real users. This outside-in monitoring approach gives network and IT teams visibility into segments of the delivery path—including third-party ISPs, CDNs, and cloud providers—that traditional infrastructure monitoring cannot reach.
