Proactive synthetic monitoring has reduced major incidents and provides global user experience insights
One thing that is not available is the multi-factor authentication feature concerning monitoring any applications. If an application depends upon MFA for its login flow, Catchpoint doesn't have the ability to bypass or monitor that flow for multi-factor authentication. This is one area where I would like to see improvement in the tool because many applications nowadays use multi-factor authentication, and Catchpoint does lag a bit in providing the end-to-end synthetic observability for applications dependent on MFA. This is one of the major areas needing improvement. Otherwise, Catchpoint has been one of the greatest tools in the synthetic monitoring or digital experience monitoring space, and I don't see anything else right now, but MFA is something that certainly needs some improvement.

Clients experience effective network management and comprehensive monitoring
Arista currently provides their solution for their own Arista products only. A problem occurs because customers do not have only Arista products. Sometimes they have different kinds of products available in their network. For monitoring that network, they have to either procure more solutions from third parties or they have to procure the provider OEM to manage their switches. If Arista can integrate third-party switches for monitoring purposes, it will be beneficial for the customers. Arista and other competitors such as Cisco or HPE Aruba have their own benefits. Cisco and Aruba face the challenge of having multiple OS for networking their products, whereas Arista has a single OS across their products. This is very beneficial for customers as they only have to manage a single OS.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The drill-down feature of this product was very good, as it allowed us to identify the exact page or area of the site that was causing our customers an issue."
"Overall, Catchpoint has been a strong platform for us to provide proactive digital experience monitoring."
"Catchpoint is very great software for troubleshooting APIs, websites, availability, and other third-party services such as CDNs, which makes it stand out."
"With Catchpoint, we analyze the time duration of issues to identify why these occurrences happen, allowing us to fix them quickly and provide availability of over 99.98%."
"Catchpoint is very flexible and also provides logs for troubleshooting purposes. It helps us fix issues within the SLAs signed with the end users. The tool is easy to learn."
"They only lose two points for the cost; otherwise, the insights they provide are really good."
"The product's most valuable feature is the ability to identify and troubleshoot network issues."
"Catchpoint has everything you could want in a synthetic tool, and many things that you didn't know you wanted but you are ecstatic to have."
"The product provides a central management feature. It helps in eliminating human errors. It doesn't have a lot of bugs for software."
"A single point of management and monitoring, as well as upgradation and update is valuable."
 

Cons

"A large selection of nodes are available but it is a challenge to test reliably in China and the Middle East."
"As part of the improvement, there are certain categories, like for the China market, where we face issues."
"There's still too much manual involvement in getting customized test configurations out there. It's good, but it still takes a lot of effort. In other words, it's when you need to configure it to collect a specific variable and that kind of thing."
"For some larger workflows, I think the product could improve in a few areas."
"The only thing that occasionally bugs me about Catchpoint is some aspects of the UI."
"The price and licensing are very, very high. They have to come down on the pricing to match with the industry standard."
"There are essentially a lot of quotas. Nobody wants to sit and manually create monitors for someone who uses synthetic monitoring."
"There is room for improvement in terms of enhancing user experience and maybe improving their technical expertise, which is why I chose eight out of ten."
"Arista currently provides their solution for their own Arista products only. A problem occurs because customers do not have only Arista products."
"CloudVision could have a user-friendly interface."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is based on consumption and works on a point scale. For example, let's say I want to look at www.google.com, and I'm going to test it to see if it's there. It will bring back all this data that tells me how long it took to connect and how long it took to get the first byte. It will list all the resources on the page, showing that they all work and there are no broken links. It brings that data back. That test has an assigned point value depending on what you decide to extract from that test. If all I do is check to see whether it's available, it might be one point. I don't know the exact point values off-hand. This is just an example."
"The price and licensing are very, very high. They have to come down on the pricing to match with the industry standard."
"The solution's pricing is comparable to the last tool we were using."
"The solution's pricing varies based on services and licensing models."
"In terms of licensing fees, I believe they were slightly higher."
"CloudVision is an expensive product. We purchase its yearly license."
