Why Do My Users Know More About My Network Than I Do? I’m The Expert Here!

Jan 19, 2016

expertYou and your team should look forward to phone calls with customers. These days, however, nobody in your company wants to pick up the phone in fear of connecting with customers who are calling to inform you about your network’s sub-par performance.

This problem of customers dialing in to report network inefficiencies has been happening again and again, and each time it’s frustrating because your customers often discover network inefficiencies like outages and slowdowns before your team of in-house experts discover them.

After all, your customers are the ones on the front lines of your network. They’re using it at all hours of the day and night, so they notice problems immediately.

What’s more, when customers call in to report problems, your team is often at a loss as to why the network is behaving poorly as your department lacks the appropriate tool for accurately assessing its condition. Most network troubleshooting tools on the market today only provide partial network visibility, and therefore do not facilitate root-cause troubleshooting. As a result, IT often thinks their networks are working properly, when in fact they are rife with hidden problems.

The only way to put a stop to this problem—and ensure your customers are satisfied with your service—is to discover problems before they do.
