Senior Technical Engineer at a consultancy with 1-10 employees
Identifies and analyzes performance issues quickly using in-built AI and ML
With Alluvio AppResponse, there is an in-built analytical analysis with AI and ML, which identifies and provides data such as the number of TCP retransmits, web access time, total connection time out, total connections established, and server-side errors. The RTCC response time composition chart is crucial because it helps pinpoint the issue's origin, whether from the server, network, or application side. It's a superb product when compared to SolarWinds SAM, which is agent-based, while Alluvio AppResponse captures all traffic from the core switch.

We can set up a dashboard to monitor the status of an entire site, which provides more insight into any issues across devices
One engineer is enough for the solution's maintenance. There has been a significant improvement in Statseeker in the last few versions. It includes a wallet map and features we plan to implement when deploying the latest or penultimate versions across all our sites. This will significantly assist in identifying sites surpassing thresholds or KPIs, making issue detection much more accessible. The threshold feature is handy for identifying delays and major outages. This graphical map enables us to quickly assess the scope of nationwide problems, allowing for swift action and efficient reporting to management and service providers. This tool facilitates monitoring by visualizing all network elements with their respective coordinates, highlighting any downtimes or issues through color-coded green for operational, orange for approaching thresholds, yellow for minor alarms, and red for critical issues. The tool is a monitoring tool that helps in identifying problems. It is necessary to have someone trained to set up the dashboards because they might require some programming or specific configuration skills. Once it's configured, it works well. It's not as straightforward as other tools where you plug in the device, and everything works. With Statseeker, you still need to put in some effort to set up your dashboard properly. It requires someone with good training and proficiency in setting up these dashboards. They can benefit the technical and operations teams, providing useful insights into the network and the executive management team to receive reports on the overall network health. Overall, I rate the solution a seven out of ten.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Simply moving the focus from the IT infrastructure components to the end user with the result that it drastically reduces the time spent on troubleshooting performance issue."
"The most valuable feature is performance monitoring."
"AppResponse is a total solution that gives you end-to-end visibility into applications at all levels, from Layer 1 to Layer 7. We can trace all those sections: physical, IP, transport, presentation, application, etc. It gives us the full picture."
"It's a stable product. Riverbed has invested a significant amount of research and development into it, so it's a solid tool overall."
"Ability to see end to end user, application, server, and network response time and throughput data."
"Very easy to use and gather value from the start."
"Thanks to the Riverbed Steelcentral AppResponse technology our remote services are now focused on monitoring the End User satisfaction instead of watching only the infrastructure."
"Excellent for strategic metrics and as a troubleshooting/analysis tool."
"The product has improved our organization by simplifying monitoring and giving real-time alerts for issues we might not immediately be aware of otherwise."
"I like the fact that I can aggregate multiple interfaces into a single graph. It allows me to quickly the summary of traffic for multiple devices which is helpful."
"Key features for us are custom reporting, 95th Percentile, and trend lines."
"Overall, Statseeker has reduced the complexity of our network monitoring once it's installed."
"The product simplifies monitoring by providing real-time alerts through a GUI dashboard, email and texts."
"It helps us track the status of over 1200 devices in multiple geographical locations."
"Statseeker helps to quickly see if you have a spike or something going on. In the future, we need to get NetFlow in the tool so we can see what the IP is."
"Summary Reports provide a quick way to identify where potential issues are. Drill-downs provide more granular details very quickly."
 

Cons

"The reporting models need improvement as most of the time, we have to customize the reports manually."
"Technical support needs to be more responsive."
"They need to better integrate with products and solutions from different vendors."
"It's not able to monitor SAP transactions."
"The pricing is on the higher side of things. If they could lower it, that would be ideal."
"The admin dashboard could be easier, as it takes a little bit of time to get used to it."
"Integration between NPM and APM solutions would improve efficiency. There is no agent on the server site related to AppResponse."
"The licenses are costly and are done per module."
"I would like the ability to update the dashboard. I would also like the ability to access via an API. Then I could produce a dashboard that my C level can understand. This is just so they can go and refresh whenever they want to and see what things look like."
"If it's twice as much, however, then it's already getting a little expensive."
"Detailed data can be hard to extract in CSV form. Sometimes, being able to dump down raw data would be good so various time periods across a longer period could be analysed. At present, data can be presented within Statseeker, but there is lots of "white space" between data points."
"I would like to see fully automatic updates so that our version is always current."
"We haven't seen an ROI."
"The main issue I've seen, in the last six months to a year, is when I upgrade I seem to be hitting bugs. The upgrade won't go smoothly and I have to engage support. These things happen when you upgrade, it's not the end of the world, but from a stability point of view, the only time I've so far, is during upgrades."
"This solution would be improved with better automatic discovery for ping-only devices."
"Configuration management: In configuration management it would be helpful if it would backup configuration files (running and start-up configuration) for devices. (Not sure if this is already available in the latest version)."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is costly for small and medium businesses."
"The licensing model is expensive compared to its competitors, but the service it gives to your business, and the data quality, means that it's worth it."
"The price is a little bit high, especially because we have to pay an import tax."
"The solution is no more expensive than other products."
"We paid $5,000 to $10,000 a year in maintenance."
"We have permanent licenses so there's really no cost, other than ongoing maintenance. When I think about it, that's running us about $20,000 a year."
"Statseeker is pretty cheap."
"It would definitely be a yearly licensing cost, but I don't know what it is."
"The yearly cost varies as per the number of devices being monitored. The cost for 25,000 devices is about $4500."
"The licensing cost is yearly and it's $5,000 to $8,000, I think."
"We pay a yearly maintenance fee of approximately $40,000 USD."
"Pricing is reasonable but licensing should unlimited."
