How many times has this happened? You're on a Microsoft Teams call, and your call disconnects, lags or freezes. so you go to Google to look up how to solve the problem. Well look no further! If you're using Microsoft Teams, there are proven ways to troubleshoot those pesky performance and connection issues that are putting a damper on your team's collaboration.

For years, the promise of AI-driven network automation has loomed large. Vendors and analysts alike have painted a future where autonomous operations handle outages before they happen, root causes are explained instantly, and teams finally escape the endless cycle of alerts, tickets, and manual troubleshooting. But in practice, most automation initiatives stall long before they reach that vision.

When an organizations' DNS authoritative server faces high volume of network traffic from multiple client devices, they would need more than one DNS server to handle them. But manually routing the network queries to each DNS server in the network would be a tedious job for the network admins. And in turn, this would slow down the network service responses, leading to multiple delays and disruptions.

Reliable internet connectivity isn’t a convenience. It’s mission-critical infrastructure for modern organizations. Every organization today depends on high-speed, reliable internet access for daily operations—from cloud collaboration and data transfer to streaming, remote work, and customer engagement. As digital transformation accelerates, the rise of AI, large language models (LLMs), IoT, and device sprawl has massively increased bandwidth demand and network complexity.

Infrastructure teams manage not only servers and cloud resources, but also complex network environments. Routers, switches, and firewalls…often from multiple vendors with many models and versions. The devices require a consistent configuration and strict compliance enforcement to meet enterprise requirements.

If you’ve ever been the “network person” in the room, you know how it goes: the moment something slows down or disconnects, everyone looks at you. The pressure’s on, and you need answers fast. Is it the Wi-Fi? The ISP? A misconfigured switch? Or maybe that new cloud app is hogging bandwidth? That’s where network diagnostic tools come in.

Today, Obkio’s Network Performance Monitoring solution is announcing the release of our all-new Visual Traceroute Tool integrated into Obkio’s application. This feature is a re-invention of Obkio’s standalone Visual Traceroute Tool (Obkio Vision), and has been transformed to help users better understand network path performance and the source of network issues.
