The Silent Test Call feature Microsoft added for Teams Premium users proves what we’ve been saying all along: that synthetic testing is key to proactive Teams performance management.

But stacked up against Vantage DX, Silent Test Call has a few big limitations that could hamper your ability to deliver a frictionless Teams experience:

Tests the Teams calling experience only

You know calls are just one part of the overall Teams experience. Without the ability to test other Teams functionality, Teams Phone or Microsoft 365 apps, its silent testing capabilities leave a lot of gaps.

Tests all Teams apps and functions

Vantage DX simulates the full range of user activities to identify performance issues, from meeting setup to screen sharing, file uploads and more. And it covers Teams Phone and Meeting Rooms, along with Microsoft 365 apps like OneDrive, Exchange and Copilot.

Needs users to be idle

Testing is a scheduled activity that can run only when devices are idle. For VIPs in back-to-back meetings every day, that shrinks the windows when testing can be done.

Tests 24/7 with no user impact

Vantage DX’s synthetic testing doesn’t have to wait for endpoints to be idle. You can proactively monitor Teams experiences 24/7 without affecting productivity or live call quality.

Exclusive to Premium licenses and requires Power BI

Fewer than 1% of Teams users have Premium licenses*, meaning the Silent Test Call feature is available for only a fraction of the experiences you need to manage. Adding more Premium licenses or the Power BI reporting you need adds costs your organization may not want to incur.

Tests for all users, shows results in a single dashboard

Vantage DX synthetic testing covers the entire Teams environment, including Teams Rooms and remote users, regardless of license type, meaning you have full visibility in one place to your organization’s Team experience as a whole.
