Trusted by global leaders representing trillions in revenue and market value
Why modern enterprises choose Catchpoint over Thousand Eyes?
Full visibility across the Internet
ThousandEyes focuses primarily on network monitoring, leaving blind spots across applications, infrastructure, and cloud services. Catchpoint goes beyond by providing end-to-end visibility, with its 2X coverage.
Don't rely entirely on public cloud
With the industry's broadest and deepest monitoring network, Catchpoint covers more cities and ISPs worldwide. Unlike ThousandEyes, which heavily relies on Cisco’s ecosystem, Catchpoint ensures independent, vendor-agnostic insights.
Precise data that you can trust
Catchpoint provides raw, high-fidelity data with years-long retention, allowing enterprises to analyze trends and drill down into granular details. ThousandEyes aggregates data, limiting visibility and precision in troubleshooting.
Go beyond just “is it the network?”
ThousandEyes helps teams confirm if an issue is network-related—but then what? Catchpoint enables deeper root cause analysis across the entire stack, helping teams pinpoint whether the issue lies in the application, infrastructure, or end-user experience.
Transparent pricing, no hidden fees
ThousandEyes’ pricing model is complex, with a “use it or lose it” credit system that resets each month. Catchpoint offers predictable, transparent pricing without unnecessary complexity or wasted spend.
Get enterprise-grade support
ThousandEyes lacks phone support, making it difficult to get real-time assistance. Catchpoint is a five-time Stevie Award winner for customer service, offering dedicated 24/7 support to ensure your business never slows down.

Why is Catchpoint the gold standard in BGP Monitoring?
Monitor BGP routes in real-time
Stay ahead of potential threats with always-on, real-time BGP monitoring. Instantly detect route hijacks, leaks, or anomalies as they happen—before they escalate into critical outages.
Analyze & investigate routing issues
Gain deep visibility with historical route changes, AS path analysis, and prefix filtering. Understand exactly how traffic is flowing and pinpoint disruptions faster with multi-source validation.
Automate alerts & take action
No need for manual monitoring—set up custom alerts for suspicious BGP events and integrate with your existing incident response workflows. Act swiftly to mitigate issues before they impact users.
Why will you love us?
Because of Catchpoint, we haven't had a single incident in the past year and a half that we didn't discover in less than five minutes. So seeing a drop from two hours to five minutes is a pretty big deal for us.
Our mean time to resolution has dropped considerably since we've deployed all of Catchpoint's products. We've found that our MTTR dropped after we deployed RUM by helping us find root cause almost immediately.
We can run simultaneous tests with Catchpoint from different agents all over the world, which gives us a real comparison of what website performance looks like with and without Cloudinary and the optimizations that we can provide.
FAQs
Catchpoint is built on four pillars of digital experience monitoring: Reachability, Availability, Performance, and Reliability. With 3000+ nodes, 40+ test types, and 100+ metrics, we offer comprehensive 360° visibility that TE cannot match.
Catchpoint provides deep visibility into cache status, PoP mapping and routing, performance, CNAME resolution, and other critical CDN monitoring capabilities. TE lacks granular insights, limiting its effectiveness in CDN performance optimization.
Without full visibility, users lose crucial network insights and control. TE’s reliance on limited network connections creates blind spots, making it unsuitable for SLA and CDN monitoring due to noisy or incomplete data.
Yes! Catchpoint's REST API and Webhooks allow seamless integration into existing dashboards, preserving the single pane of glass view while delivering best-in-class Internet Performance Monitoring (IPM) data.
Even Cisco, TE’s parent company, relies on Catchpoint to fill critical monitoring gaps in its data center expansion strategy. More nodes mean greater accuracy and fewer blind spots.
Cisco is following Catchpoint’s lead. Our real-time BGP capabilities are already a core part of our solution, providing deeper, more actionable insights than TE.
SamKnows primarily monitors home routers and mobile devices. It does not offer real-time BGP monitoring, leaving critical gaps in network observability.
