| Fact | Obkio | sip-exporter |
|---|---|---|
| Integrations | The ServiceNow integration creates and resolves incidents from Obkio issues and is restricted to the Premium plan. | The Prometheus-format metrics are documented as compatible with Prometheus, VictoriaMetrics, Grafana Cloud, and other Prometheus-compatible scrapers. |
| Metrics | The service measures latency, packet loss, jitter, throughput, and MOS score. | It exposes SIP traffic, active-session, RFC 6076 performance, RFC 6035 voice-quality, RTP, RTCP, fraud, and diagnostic metrics at `/metrics`. |
| Privacy | Obkio says it uses synthetic traffic and does not capture real user traffic. | The README says the exporter does not store packets or audio and parses only the fixed 12-byte RTP header, while RTP snapshots copied to userspace may include a small payload prefix. |
| Support | Online documentation is available 24/7, while live chat and email support are listed for weekdays from 9am to 5pm EST. | The project directs users to GitHub Issues for support, bug reports, and feature requests, and to its security policy for private vulnerability reports. |

Pick sip-exporter if…
sip-exporter suits Linux operators who can place a sensor where it sees both SIP signaling and the correlated RTP/RTCP path. It is aimed at users working with Prometheus-compatible monitoring and Grafana.
