Wi-Fi health monitoring vs. general network performance monitoring — comparing RF intelligence, customer reporting, WAN testing, and outage behavior.
| Feature | TekFidelityIQ | Obkio |
|---|---|---|
| Primary focus | Wi-Fi health: RF, channel utilization, rogue APs, health scoring | Network performance: latency, jitter, packet loss between agent pairs |
| Wi-Fi RF data (channel utilization, SNR, band distribution) | ✓ Full RF Intelligence across 2.4/5/6 GHz | ✗ Not Wi-Fi specific |
| Rogue AP / security audit | ✓ Continuous rogue AP detection and posture scoring | ✗ Not included |
| WAN latency / packet loss measurement | ✓ Edge Connector performs active WAN probes | ✓ Core strength — frequent packet loss and latency tests |
| Monitoring during WAN outage | ✓ Local buffer + full sync on recovery | Agent continues local testing; cloud dashboard loses sync |
| Customer-facing portal | ✓ Built-in health scores and plain-English reports | ✗ Internal monitoring tool primarily |
| Automated monthly health reports | ✓ Automated PDF per site | ✗ Manual report export |
| Multi-tenant MSP architecture | ✓ RLS-isolated per customer | Limited |
Choose Obkio if: your primary monitoring need is WAN/LAN path performance — latency, jitter, and packet loss between network points. Obkio's agent-to-agent probing at high frequency is excellent for diagnosing WAN provider problems and LAN congestion, and their troubleshooting content library is genuinely useful.
Choose TekFidelityIQ if: you're managing Wi-Fi environments and need RF health scoring, channel utilization visibility, rogue AP detection, and a customer-facing health report. TekFidelityIQ's Edge Connector also performs WAN health probes — so for managed Wi-Fi environments, it covers the key NPM metrics alongside deep Wi-Fi-specific intelligence.
Use both if: you have complex WAN environments where detailed path-segment packet loss measurement matters, alongside Wi-Fi-specific health monitoring. The tools are complementary, not competing.
