VQManager is a potent web-based passive QoS monitoring tool designed for VoIP networks, enabling easy management with an intuitive interface.
Recently, I had the opportunity to try out ManageEngine VQManager, a powerful and web-based passive QoS monitoring tool for VoIP networks. This project is highly effective in monitoring any device or user-agent that supports SIP (RFC 3261) and RTP / RTCP (RFC 3550). With real-time VoIP QoS metrics monitoring, ManageEngine VQManager provides instantaneous reports, self-configurable alerts, and in-depth fault probing, all from a single web interface.
This tool is designed for real-time, 24x7 non-intrusive monitoring of various QoS metrics that allow speedy identification of VoIP faults and quality deterioration. VQManager proactively notifies faults using operator alerts, email notifications, and SNMP traps. Additionally, complete call level and end-point level 24x7 QoS analysis are included, making in-depth fault probing through call traces and call summaries possible.
VQManager's support for processing Cisco (4, 4.x, 5), Swyx 6.0, Vovida Vocal, Tekelec 5.6, Shoretel 6.1, and Asterisk CDRs is included. This ensures that you are always updated with the happenings in your VoIP network, regardless of devices used. The tool's powerful and flexible reporting generates over 30 different reports, providing insight into usage trends, bandwidth utilization, and capacity planning.
In addition, VQManager requires no other special hardware/software for support, and its remotely accessible, user-friendly interface saves precious time and greatly improves administrator productivity. Some key features of ManageEngine VQManager include:
- Proactive, continuous monitoring of the QoS and Bandwidth of VoIP Networks
- Monitoring any device or user-agent that supports SIP and RTP/RTCP
- Alarm generation based on incomplete calls, answer delay, voice bandwidth usage, and other metrics
- Pictorial representation of call flow plotting all SIP requests from call start to end
- Real-time monitoring and trend analysis for troubleshooting
- Importing call information using CDR files such as FTP access or uploaded via HTTP
- Bandwidth usage graph with split up between voice and non-voice data
- Filtering criteria to capture or monitor call traffic from specific IP addresses
- Information on 'what is going on' in VoIP network and 'how it performs' are presented in the form of comprehensive, intuitive and informative reports
To use ManageEngine VQManager, a Pentium 1Ghz and above processor and 512 MB RAM are required. The latest release of this software includes Cisco Skinny support, customized scheduled reporting, raw SIP and Skinny packet display, and live monitoring focus.
Overall, I highly recommend ManageEngine VQManager for those looking for a comprehensive VoIP monitoring tool. Its intuitive interface, powerful features, and real-time monitoring make it a standout option in the field.
