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.

Automation increases efficiency, but pricing needs to be more competitive
Improvement is needed in making it cheaper, of course. I am not emphasizing making it cheaper, however, it should be more competitive with other products. The product itself is very good and helpful for me as a customer. The issue always is the price, as we cannot beat most of our competitors on pricing alone. If a product is just nice to have, not essential like an antivirus, if it's not really competitive with pricing, we cannot sell it.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We previously tried using Dynatrace, but it was really expensive for us, and when we discovered Catchpoint, we fell in love with it."
"Catchpoint's customer service and support are valuable."
"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."
"We really need the API monitoring, as well as client side session monitoring, the global synthetic monitoring, to track the availability of the systems from the customer side."
"The best feature in Catchpoint is the alert or the notification my company gets frequently, in particular, every five minutes. It's the notification you get whenever a respective market has an issue. There's also a dashboard in Catchpoint that shows the markets you support, so all the markets will be highlighted graphically in the dashboard whenever there's downtime that could affect you. If there's no issue for a specific market, it will be in green, so in this way, anybody would be able to understand which market has issues and which market has no issues through Catchpoint. The tool is very useful for monitoring activities."
"The most valuable features of Catchpoint are basically the transaction monitors on the API and UI."
"Catchpoint helped us establish that something is in a provider network, so we could tell our customers to check their internet provider because the traffic is not getting to us. You need to be gentle when you tell them that, but the fact that we could do it was crucial."
"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."
"In terms of most valuable features, we are happy with everything so far, and maybe in a year's time I'll have a different opinion on what can change, what can be better, but for now it's the perfect solution."
"The remote support and data collection features are great."
"Kaseya Traverse is a very stable solution and very sustainable in terms of what the market wants, what is out there, price-wise and functionality features. They're quite competitive and they are always innovating."
"Most of the features are pretty good and the solution is user friendly."
"Everything is running seamlessly on the solution, to the point where you don't see any gap."
"It's a simple and humble tool."
"If I want to automate the management and maintenance of my server automatically, this product is a good use case for that."
"Automating processes is crucial for me, so the automation part stands out."
 

Cons

"Catchpoint can be improved by focusing solely on network monitoring."
"I think Catchpoint can be improved because it is competitively a little costlier."
"We would like the script creation feature of this solution to be improved, as it currently requires a complicated manual process to update the scripts."
"A room for improvement in Catchpoint is that it lacks an automated page updating feature."
"The old user version was better, it was more user-friendly."
"A large selection of nodes are available but it is a challenge to test reliably in China and the Middle East."
"Trending needs improvement. Currently, out-of-the-box, they provide only seven days availability. So, we have to do queries and we have to go into a separate analysis module, we have to run lot of queries to long-term trends."
"There are essentially a lot of quotas. Nobody wants to sit and manually create monitors for someone who uses synthetic monitoring."
"However, the issue lies in the adequacy of the responses to my questions, which are usually not up to par."
"Improvement is needed in making it cheaper."
"The support for the solution needs some improvement. In my experience, the response time to answer a query is slow."
"I think the software is still a little bit too new to actually fully assess what it has."
"The tool needs to have some AI capabilities, which it lacks currently."
"Reporting is a bit difficult."
"We've noticed a few bugs as of late. However, this seems to only be in the reporting part of the product."
"With my most recent experiences on the solution, I can say that it isn't currently stable; there are a lot of glitches and bugs and the reliability just isn't there right now."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"In terms of licensing fees, I believe they were slightly higher."
"The solution's pricing is comparable to the last tool we were using."
"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 solution's pricing varies based on services and licensing models."
"The price and licensing are very, very high. They have to come down on the pricing to match with the industry standard."
"The price depends on whether you are monitoring different applications, especially in bulk, and depends on what you're doing. If you're monitoring one endpoint, it will cost you 150 ZAR."
"The solution is not cheap, but it is not too expensive."
