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.

I feel that Rigor can improve their customer service for time zones outside of the United States. When I post a question on their chat, I usually need to wait a couple of hours for the answer. I believe the service desk is in the United States, while I am working in Europe, requiring me to wait for them to start their work day.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Catchpoint has had a positive impact on my company because we have a good overview of the worldwide availability of our sites, at least in the countries where we need to make them available."
"They only lose two points for the cost; otherwise, the insights they provide are really good."
"Catchpoint's customer service and support are valuable."
"Overall, my experience with Catchpoint was really great, as it offers monitoring of performance, websites, APIs, and internet services for organizations."
"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."
"Overall, Catchpoint has been a strong platform for us to provide proactive digital experience monitoring."
"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 previously tried using Dynatrace, but it was really expensive for us, and when we discovered Catchpoint, we fell in love with it."
"The most valuable feature of Rigor is the ability to test the whole website, including the homepage design and all the sub-pages, in one test. It provides an overview of the whole service."
 

Cons

"It would be great if Catchpoint could incorporate its alerting system instead of relying on separate tools like ServiceNow."
"if we need to do performance analysis, we have to click too many times. For example, if there is an issue that is caught by Catchpoint, we need to understand what the error is and at which step it failed, or which transaction that is impacted. To drill down, we have to click too many things to get the answer."
"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."
"One thing that is not available is the multi-factor authentication feature concerning monitoring any applications."
"Catchpoint can be improved by focusing solely on network monitoring."
"A large selection of nodes are available but it is a challenge to test reliably in China and the Middle East."
"The price and licensing are very, very high. They have to come down on the pricing to match with the industry standard."
"One improvement for Catchpoint is the detail analysis logs that we struggle to find within the tool."
"I feel that Rigor can improve their customer service for time zones outside of the United States."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 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 varies based on services and licensing models."
"The solution's pricing is comparable to the last tool we were using."
