VoIP monitoring tools in Brazil: how to choose
PRTG, Zabbix, VoIPmonitor, SolarWinds, Site24x7, Sipfront, Klearcom, Cyara and Monitor side by side: what each does, what it doesn't, and when to pick each type.
Monitor by 2N5 and Cyara
Choose Cyara, Klearcom or VistaCX if you need to test numbers in many countries, or the whole customer journey across voice, chat and digital channels. Choose Monitor if your circuits are SIP trunks and 0800, 0300 and 4004 numbers, and you want a service managed by 2N5, in Portuguese or English, with email alerts that keep going until someone takes ownership.
Monitor by 2N5 and Klearcom
Choose Klearcom if you need to test toll and toll-free numbers in many countries, with failure triage around the clock.

Monitor by 2N5 and Obkio
Choose Obkio if you want a dedicated tool for agent-based synthetic network monitoring. Choose Monitor if you want each site's internet link tracked alongside the test calls to 0800 numbers, IVRs and SIP trunks, in a service managed by 2N5, and to know whether an outage was the link or the voice circuit.
Monitor by 2N5 and Paessler PRTG
Choose PRTG if you want a single dashboard for network, servers and cloud, with a free edition and a Portuguese interface. Choose Monitor if the question is whether your SIP trunk or 0800 number completes calls with clear voice, with someone notified by email until they take ownership of the incident.
Monitor by 2N5 and Sipfront
Choose Sipfront if you want to set it up yourself today, with a free trial, load testing and CI/CD integration. Choose Monitor if you want a service managed by 2N5, in Portuguese or English, that calls 0800, 0300 and 4004 numbers and escalates by email until someone takes ownership.
Monitor by 2N5 and Site24x7
Choose Site24x7 if you are looking for Portuguese pages on website defacement, mail server and VoIP monitoring with IP SLA, and want to confirm with the vendor what each one measures. Choose Monitor if you want the website, the email and the test calls to 0800 numbers, IVRs and SIP trunks in the same service managed by 2N5, with email alerts that keep going until someone takes ownership.
Monitor by 2N5 and ThousandEyes
Choose ThousandEyes if the question is about the network between two of your own points, with SIP Server, RTP Stream and Voice Call tests between agents. Choose Monitor if the question is whether your 0800 number, your IVR or your SIP trunk answers a call from outside, with email alerts that keep going until someone takes ownership.
Monitor by 2N5 and VistaCX Watch
Hammer VoiceWatch became VistaCX Watch, from Infovista. Choose it if you want scheduled test calls every 2 to 15 minutes from a vendor in that product line. Choose Monitor by 2N5 if your numbers are 0800, 0300 and 4004 numbers and SIP trunks in Brazil, and you want a service managed by 2N5, in Portuguese or English, with email alerts until someone takes ownership.
Monitor by 2N5 and VoIPmonitor
Choose VoIPmonitor if you want to analyze every real call crossing your network, with KPIs such as ASR and PDD and fraud detection. Choose Monitor if you need to know, even in the middle of the night, whether each SIP trunk or 0800 number completes calls with clear voice, as a managed service.
Monitor by 2N5 and Zabbix
Choose Zabbix if you want free, open-source monitoring for your entire infrastructure, including Asterisk's status, and have a team to maintain it. Choose Monitor if you need to know whether each SIP trunk or 0800 number completes calls with clear voice, without building and maintaining the test calls yourself.
Comparing with an outsourced NOC? Monitor does not replace whoever fixes the failure: it makes sure someone hears about it, with the evidence, and the NOC can be one of the tiers of the escalation ladder. See how it works.
