It’s well understood that getting data into the cloud costs nothing. Depending on the route you take to engage with a cloud provider, there are dozens of free credits, allowances, and trial offers designed to make it easy to store your data with them. Getting your data out of the cloud is an entirely different matter. And not just when we’re talking about permanent extraction and closing accounts.

The world relies on the cloud which means that organizations are fundamentally reliant on third-party networks to access these critical cloud resources. While cloud adoption decisions are largely made by executive teams, the responsibility of performance and availability falls squarely on the shoulders of network operations teams.

Zoom has become a go-to platform for businesses hosting virtual meetings and collaborations. However, ensuring smooth and efficient Zoom sessions requires more than just joining a meeting close to a Wi-Fi router. While Zoom provides a built-in monitoring tool for real-time quality checks during meetings, it lacks historical data and baseline analysis, limiting its utility.

Microsoft Teams has become a cornerstone of collaboration and communication for countless enterprises worldwide. However, as reliance on Unified Communications (UC) grows, so do the chances of encountering performance issues. While Microsoft Teams offers some native tools for network assessments, they often prove limited and fail to address underlying issues effectively.
