Who We Are

The name ThousandEyes was born from two big ideas: the power to see things not ordinarily possible and the ability to collect insights from a multitude of vantage points. As organizations rely more on cloud services and the internet, the network has become a black box they can't understand. Our internet and cloud intelligence platform delivers the only collectively powered view of the internet, cloud and SaaS platforms, helping enterprises and service providers work together to identify problems before they impact revenue, damage brand reputation, or halt employee efficiency.

In August 2020, Cisco Systems completed the acquisition of ThousandEyes, which now forms the ThousandEyes Business Unit within Cisco’s Network Services Business Group, and is a foundational component of Cisco’s growing Observability business.
