WanAware Network Performance Monitoring provides performance observability across the global internet and private WAN or LAN. It correlates internet outages with application traffic to help distinguish local ISP issues from backbone failures, and can identify a router, interface, or BGP change associated with a drop. Dynamic path views show network layers from BGP routing through application latency. The service can integrate with SD-WAN and cloud controllers to reroute traffic when a provider falls below an SLA, and can send stakeholders reports about third-party providers. WanAware cites 16T+ daily path measurements, monitoring in 220+ countries, and 99.9% accuracy in root-cause identification. Listed use cases include SaaS and cloud adoption, SD-WAN optimization, and customer experience monitoring; Salesforce, Zoom, and AWS are example services for remote workforce access monitoring. It is delivered through a SaaS web portal, includes packet loss monitoring, and lists coverage for 1,000 devices. A 15-day trial is available, with no agents required for initial setup. Pricing is not published, and an Asset Intelligence subscription is required for WanAware services.
