Improved Insights Agents

Insights agents enhance synthetic testing capabilities, providing broader visibility into user experience across various applications, including other UC apps and internal business apps. Centralized configuration streamlines the management and deployment of agents, improving overall manageability.

This feature extends functionality beyond the default Microsoft tests, allowing customers to test connectivity for a wider range of services, such as Cisco, Zoom, and other Cloud UC services.
