Observability Architect at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees
We used to spend at least 30 to 40 minutes on average on a call to detect what the problem was, but that reduced drastically to around 16 to 18 minutes.

Nexthink's customer support is praised for responsiveness and helpfulness, despite occasional slow responses and unclear SLAs.
The initial migration and the initial days of monitoring Catchpoint involved having a dedicated TAM and a dedicated support number that could give us quick answers.

They would literally write Playwright for you if you cannot get the element right.

Customer support is one thing which needs to be improved; support team members are slow to respond, and they take a lot of time to get back to us, even if it is an urgent case.

Senior IT Manager at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees

Nexthink offers scalability, integration, and flexibility, making it ideal for large enterprises, despite minor independent setup challenges.
The migration part, especially onboarding a new application for monitoring, is seamless and does not require a lot of our effort and analysis.
Manager, Observability Automation & Service Operations at a tech vendor with 5,001-10,000 employees
Updating the license for the number of users is easy to do in Catchpoint.
Product Specialist at a tech vendor with 5,001-10,000 employees
We have not faced any issues regarding scalability.

Nexthink's scalability is sufficient; it is scalable enough for wider organizations.
Analyst at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
It has the capability to manage an increased number of end-user devices, and we can still scale up without encountering issues.
Senior IT Manager at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
We can scale it significantly, not just for creating and updating incidents in ServiceNow but many more applications can be integrated.
Assistant consultant at TCS

Room For Improvement

Catchpoint needs improvements in setup, user experience, navigation, API integration, pricing models, and international monitoring for better efficiency.
Nexthink users seek enhanced query handling, API integrations, UI design, automation, AI features, support, documentation, and training resources.
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.
Observability Architect at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees
If we could receive similar data for the China market as we do for North America and Asia Pacific, this would be helpful.
Technical Consultant Project Lead at a consultancy with 10,001+ employees
There is no auto-tuning for alerts, so auto-tuning features for alerts would be beneficial.
Support Engineer at a tech vendor with 5,001-10,000 employees
Improving automation and self-healing capabilities would also make a significant impact, as reducing helpdesk tickets with automated fixes is crucial.
Senior IT Manager at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
The structure of the data, particularly regarding raw data or outputs and binaries, requires improvement as it is not very clean and demands significant manual effort to sort.
Analyst at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
The UI is hierarchical, which makes navigation complex and isn't user-friendly for those unfamiliar with it.
Senior SME at Microland Limited
 

Setup Cost

Catchpoint pricing varies and is consumption-based, favoring large enterprises but can be costly for smaller organizations.
Nexthink is priced higher than competitors, but its comprehensive features justify the cost for medium to large organizations.
My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing is that the pricing is good, and the licensing is also good.
Product Specialist at a tech vendor with 5,001-10,000 employees
There is always a need to negotiate a bit more to get the best cost for the licenses we plan to buy.
Observability Architect at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees
you just need to buy the licenses, and the team sends you the license keys, which is pretty easy.
Support Engineer at a tech vendor with 5,001-10,000 employees
Nexthink is about 10% more expensive than SysTrack.
Senior SME at Microland Limited
Pricing is competitive, and the licensing model is straightforward.
Sr. Architect at LTI - Larsen & Toubro Infotech
I believe the pricing, setup cost, and licensing for Nexthink are reasonable according to the current market prices.

Valuable Features

Catchpoint offers synthetic monitoring, user-friendly dashboards, early issue detection, and global visibility, enhancing performance and reducing downtime.
Nexthink offers real-time analytics, AI features, and integrations, providing cost-effective device management and quick issue resolution benefits.
Catchpoint helps us detect issues before anybody could report them, which can impact clients because it provides prior monitoring that also sees outside the infrastructure.
Support Engineer at a tech vendor with 5,001-10,000 employees
Out of those features, the hop-by-hop breakdown of BGP peers is the one that made the biggest difference in my work because I have not seen this feature in others.
Manager, Observability Automation & Service Operations at a tech vendor with 5,001-10,000 employees
The alerting functionality in Catchpoint provides value. We configure thresholds for response times and failures so that our operations team could be notified whenever authentication failed, APIs became unavailable, or page performance degraded beyond acceptable limits.
Senior Software Engineer at Turing
The platform is beneficial as it provides data in real time, whereas alternatives may provide up to twenty-four-hour-old data.
Senior SME at Microland Limited
The most valuable feature of Nexthink is its proactive issue identification, which is part of its unique selling proposition.
Sr. Architect at LTI - Larsen & Toubro Infotech
Similar to Wireshark, it captures packets, but Nexthink gives me an overview of the whole traffic from the user to the end in the outside network.

Featured Reviews

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.

Proactive analytics have improved device performance and optimized disk space and support workflows
Nexthink offers many features, with the best being Flow, which encompasses almost everything. We have Nexthink Workspace and Spark, allowing integration with Teams so users can find solutions without going to the service desk, rectifying issues in chat. Nexthink Infinity has brought a lot of benefits to us. There has been a very good change from integration. Integrating ServiceNow with Nexthink automates problem ticket and incident generation, enabling the team to proactively know the kinds of problem statements we are receiving. For the integration with Teams, we have not completed it yet, but we are in the planning phase, and once done, we will observe the results. Nexthink has the capability of integrating with most third-party applications, which is a great feature. With the remediation actions we have in Nexthink, it has provided great self-heal capabilities along with proactiveness. By looking at the dashboards and identifying problem statements, we can share this information with the end-user computing teams to fix issues. Nexthink has significantly helped us enhance our DEX score from 74 to 80. When I talk about features that led to the improvement of our score from 74 to 80, there were earlier issues with device performance and reliability not being addressed. Noting these, we identified devices lacking free disk space and low RAM capacity contributing to high memory usage or excessive CPU usage. Disabling unnecessary startup applications brought us to a new DEX score of almost 80.
