Observability Architect at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees
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.

AI assistant has transformed network troubleshooting and now reduces downtime and support tickets
Marvis Virtual Network Assistant has resolved all problems that network administrators face, making it challenging to identify areas for improvement. Marvis provides good analytics, recommendations, and problem resolutions. One potential enhancement would be to add different languages for different countries because Marvis currently uses only English. For example, since I live in Ukraine, it would be beneficial to communicate with Marvis in Ukrainian because not all administrators know English.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"During business hours, it has worked absolutely fine without any issues."
"The most valuable features of Catchpoint are basically the transaction monitors on the API and UI."
"Catchpoint has a very professional service team, they can help you with the scripting and other functionalities, and they have a dedicated network team, so if you face any issues with the geolocations on the nodes or anything related to the network, there is dedicated support available 24 hours a day, seven days a week."
"The thing I like most is the tech support in this company, because they have 24/7 chat support. We can chat immediately and ask them about an issue and they keep responding. They create tickets on our behalf and respond."
"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."
"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."
"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%."
"The solution offers three different ways of slicing data to look for abnormalities."
"Marvis Virtual Network Assistant uses AI to find problems or to get information from devices."
"If you ask any questions about Marvis, it will respond immediately and use some solution. It will be very easy and save you time."
"I believe the pricing of Marvis Virtual Network Assistant is reasonable because it allows for a decrease in the quantity of network administrators needed and reduces operational costs."
 

Cons

"For some larger workflows, I think the product could improve in a few areas."
"There are essentially a lot of quotas. Nobody wants to sit and manually create monitors for someone who uses synthetic monitoring."
"Documentation and online indexing are awful but have been improved recently."
"As part of the improvement, there are certain categories, like for the China market, where we face issues."
"One thing that is not available is the multi-factor authentication feature concerning monitoring any applications."
"It would be great if Catchpoint could incorporate its alerting system instead of relying on separate tools like ServiceNow."
"The price and licensing are very, very high. They have to come down on the pricing to match with the industry standard."
"Currently, Catchpoint is migrating to a new user interface. My colleagues and I feel that the old user version was better, it was more user-friendly."
"It should add real-time application visibility."
"One potential enhancement would be to add different languages for different countries because Marvis currently uses only English."
"It would be a good idea to integrate the solution to support other vendors besides Juniper."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's pricing is comparable to the last tool we were using."
"The price and licensing are very, very high. They have to come down on the pricing to match with the industry standard."
"In terms of licensing fees, I believe they were slightly higher."
"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."
"Marvis Virtual Network Assistant is not an expensive solution."
