Graphs: Graphs give us perfect visualizations about the network latency even for a small fraction of time.

Easy deployment: Deployment is very easy and straightforward.

Alerting System: We are using its alerting system for the past many years that notify us in a fraction of seconds through emails in case of latency across our any data-center.

Free tool: The best part, it doesn't require you to spend any money and reporting issues and checking out its FAQs over Github.

If you are looking for an open source tool to visualise Latency over your network, this would be the best one to choose

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

We are entirely dependent on this tool to measure Network latency which may occur at any time in our data centers across the globe.

Basically, we have added our network devices, ISPs, servers in Smoke ping, so in case of alert of we segregate the issue by looking into graphs at which Network layer we have got Latency and then work upon accordingly.
