Exoprise Expands Network Visibility into Microsoft Teams and Leading UCaaS Applications

Waltham, MA – October 12, 2022 – Exoprise, a leader in Digital Experience Monitoring (DEM) solutions, announced that its latest Service Watch release enables enterprise IT and Unified Communications (UC) teams to analyze the end-to-end network path for every UC application for every user on every network. Today, most organizations use multiple Unified Communications as a Service (UCaaS) platforms such as Microsoft Teams, Cisco WebEx, Slack, and Zoom to drive business growth amid changing workplace conditions.

Since the beginning of the pandemic, there has been an unprecedented usage and massive adoption of UCaaS tools to empower remote teams to work from anywhere. According to a Forrester survey of more than 150 IT and business decision-makers in the US, 43% of respondents said that their firm will implement or expand its mission-critical UCaaS solution portfolio over the next 12 months.

As more employees work from home, the office, or anywhere in between, network performance remains critical to success. While UCaaS vendors strive to deliver superior service and performance, IT professionals, application owners, and desktop support teams still struggle to gain network visibility into the last mile. Dropped video calls and virtual meetings are a source of employee frustration negatively impacting productivity levels causing an increased support burden. Often, network and support professionals are unable to diagnose the root-cause of poor employee call quality especially for remote knowledge workers. Hybrid and remote work increases the difficulty of analyzing network conditions and support for every business.

Exoprise UCaaS and VoIP enhancements keep employees at the center to provide the best digital experience regardless of location, network, or device.

“Unified communications is the modern solution for all types of interaction in the age of remote and hybrid work. As employees continue to work remotely, UCaaS application monitoring represents a big opportunity for Exoprise to deliver an exceptional digital experience for employees and re-energize any workforce,” said Exoprise CEO Jason Lieblich. “Some tools offer simple network pings without real instrumentation and call it end-to-end UCaaS monitoring. Service Watch DEM with RUM + Robots enables businesses of all sizes to successfully transition to an evolving UCaaS landscape along with added scalability, flexibility, and cost-efficiency.”

An Exoprise customer, the Director of UCaaS operations at a multinational financial services company, told us, “We needed a tool to empower our customer contact center team that still works from home. On any given day, our call volume is around 250-300 and we have various digital communication tools in our portfolio (Teams, Zoom, WebEx). Soon our calls dropped, staff faced poor UC experience, and customers were angry. Instead of tool consolidation, our support team decided to streamline monitoring for each UCaaS app. When we looked at the market, we found that only the Exoprise DEM solution can diagnose and troubleshoot 24*7 network problems with UCaaS apps from anywhere. With Exoprise, we gained significant efficiencies and reduced our ticket volume by 45%.”  

 Exoprise collects UCaaS digital experience insights and provides complete end-user coverage in the following areas:

• Better VoIP and UCaaS Call Management
  • Proactive synthetic monitoring detects problems before your upcoming meeting for all employees (including VIPs), regardless of whether your call is scheduled from a conference room or any other remote location. Only Exoprise surfaces telemetry from Microsoft Teams with low-level packet telemetry and detects outages 30 minutes to 2 hours earlier than other tools.
• On-demand Diagnostic Management
  • Whether you work from home or the office, Exoprise real user monitoring agent captures connected TCP/IP or streaming UDP protocol metrics such as latency, packet loss, and jitter in real-time. Hop-by-hop analysis instantly identifies issues with the network, service provider, or proxy services during audio/video streams, desktop, or application sharing.
• Employee Experience and Collaboration Management
  • Monitor UCaaS performance from the perspective of users, no matter what application your business uses for communication. Immediately prioritize issues based on the Digital employee experience score (DEX) and improve workplace productivity.
• Endpoint Management 
  • End-user experience monitoring solutions like Exoprise monitor the end-to-end network infrastructure path for any thick client app service (Teams, Webex, Zoom) so your team can deliver the highest and optimal call quality. In addition, the solution captures thousands of underlying system resource metrics and reliability data to stabilize desktop UCaaS apps running on any device.

• Network Transformation Management
  • Reinventing your network to accommodate a new UC service migration? With Exoprise network assessments, technology teams can obtain a baseline view of the network before, during, and after transformations. Quickly assess service reliability and digital employee experience.
