VoIP Monitoring Tools
Monitor and ensure the performance of VoIP services and phone number availability anytime, from anywhere.
SIP Monitoring
Simulate SIP Phone Clients to Monitor Gateway or PBX Performance.
We offer synthetic SIP monitoring by simulating a SIP Phone client that makes periodic calls through your SIP gateway to a specified phone number or extension. This method monitors the performance of the SIP gateway or PBX managing the SIP clients and can also assess an external gateway if you opt to call a number outside your organization.
Phone Number or Direct Inward Dialing (DID) Monitoring Service
Verify Phone Numbers, Landlines, Mobile, and VoIP Functionality with External Line Testing.
If you need to ensure that inbound phone numbers including landlines, mobile, and VoIP are functioning and terminating calls correctly, our service can help. Using an external line, we dial the phone number you specify at set intervals. Upon dialing, we can determine whether the call was answered, if the line was busy, or if there was no answer. Additionally, if the call is answered by a recorded message or an IVR system, our speech recognition technology can verify whether the recording matches expectations. This service is offered through our sister company, phonenumbermonitoring.com.

VOIP Monitoring Tools—Frequently Asked Questions
In order to help users understand the benefits and terminology associated with VoIP monitoring, we’ve provided answers to common questions below. If you still have a question, feel free to contact us.
VoIP monitoring is the process of tracking various metrics of VoIP call quality including latency, packet loss, jitter, and other metrics that affect the quality and reliability of a VoIP phone call. The word “VoIP” is an acronym that stands for Voice Over Internet Protocol, and VoIP has become the standard for most non-cellular network calls made today.
VoIP monitoring works by tracking data and various metrics from the source (origin point) of the VoIP call to the destination, and also reversing this process, tracking metrics and data from the destination back to the origin point. Some of these metrics include Mean Opinion Score (MOS) and Round-Trip Time (RTT).
Absolutely—VoIP calls can be monitored, but in order to monitor large scale business-class systems, a robust VoIP monitoring tools like Dotcom-Monitor is generally required.
Dotcom-Monitor VoIP monitoring tracks things like positive jitter, negative jitter, latency, MOT/RTT (mentioned above), packet loss, packet arrival time, out-of-sequence packets, miss-managed internet access (MIA) packets, and a variety of proprietary metrics.
While there are a variety of VoIP monitoring tools on the market, the best VoIP monitoring tools should offer a few key benefits. First, they should provide real-time data. If you can’t track VoIP issues while they are happening, you’re going to have a lot of trouble making meaningful changes to improve call quality. Second, they should track a large range of VoIP metrics (as mentioned above). Tracking packets alone isn’t enough—you need to be looking at many other VoIP KPIs. Lastly, a good VoIP monitoring tool should have alerting, and this alerting should be instant. Dotcom-Monitor provides instant alerts via SMS, phone, and email—making it one of the most robust solutions on the market, capable of enterprise-grade VoIP monitoring at a high scale.
Open-source VoIP monitoring tools may be worth using in some circumstances for one-off tests, but they are not a tenable solution for any sort of business that relies on the uptime and performance of their VoIP system. Free VoIP monitoring tools don’t have the alerting and testing capabilities required to monitoring enterprise-level VoIP systems, or to automate these tasks. Dotcom-Monitor was built from the ground up to handle large-scale VoIP testing, especially in business use scenarios. If you’d like to schedule a demo of our VoIP monitoring system, you can contact us at any time.
