Proactive monitoring has reduced downtime and now identifies traffic issues before customers notice
I think Catchpoint can be improved because it is competitively a little costlier. I understand that Catchpoint provides the best solution, but comparatively, if I compare it with Uptrends, New Relic, DataDog, and ThousandEyes, Catchpoint does multiple things, but it comes with a cost. That is one of the areas you can leverage use cases based on customer requirements and come up with a better pricing model. The existing ones are good, but for our use case from Zoom, we were just looking for our endpoints to be monitored every minute, and that cost us a lot compared to the existing tool that we were using. That area is something to look for improvement.

We can set up a dashboard to monitor the status of an entire site, which provides more insight into any issues across devices
One engineer is enough for the solution's maintenance. There has been a significant improvement in Statseeker in the last few versions. It includes a wallet map and features we plan to implement when deploying the latest or penultimate versions across all our sites. This will significantly assist in identifying sites surpassing thresholds or KPIs, making issue detection much more accessible. The threshold feature is handy for identifying delays and major outages. This graphical map enables us to quickly assess the scope of nationwide problems, allowing for swift action and efficient reporting to management and service providers. This tool facilitates monitoring by visualizing all network elements with their respective coordinates, highlighting any downtimes or issues through color-coded green for operational, orange for approaching thresholds, yellow for minor alarms, and red for critical issues. The tool is a monitoring tool that helps in identifying problems. It is necessary to have someone trained to set up the dashboards because they might require some programming or specific configuration skills. Once it's configured, it works well. It's not as straightforward as other tools where you plug in the device, and everything works. With Statseeker, you still need to put in some effort to set up your dashboard properly. It requires someone with good training and proficiency in setting up these dashboards. They can benefit the technical and operations teams, providing useful insights into the network and the executive management team to receive reports on the overall network health. Overall, I rate the solution a seven out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Catchpoint is actually catching issues before customers see them, since it's checking the sites every five minutes or even every minute, via the APIs."
"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."
"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."
"The capacity to identify those issues regionally, nationally, and globally was an unbelievable return on our investment."
"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."
"They only lose two points for the cost; otherwise, the insights they provide are really good."
"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."
"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 most valuable feature is alerting."
"This solution has helped us to proactively identify issues and push some of those fixes down to tier one."
"This is a very cheap solution in order for us to accomplish what we needed to do in terms of providing visibility into the network."
"This is a great product for anybody looking for network monitoring, and I would highly recommend it."
"Statseeker helps reduce the complexity of our network monitoring because it's real-time, or somewhat real-time, so we're able to see stuff quickly and react to it."
"Customer service is excellent, with a brilliant support team that is always responsive and always positive."
"If you want something that is easy to use and catches the basics, especially for your first line people, then this is the product to go with."
"I believe Statseeker has reduced the complexity of our network monitoring, providing real-time alerts and on-demand graphs that improve our network availability."
 

Cons

"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."
"Catchpoint can be improved by focusing solely on network monitoring."
"There are essentially a lot of quotas. Nobody wants to sit and manually create monitors for someone who uses synthetic monitoring."
"A room for improvement in Catchpoint is that it lacks an automated page updating feature."
"The product could include global monitoring and predictive analytics to identify widespread issues and cyber threats."
"A large selection of nodes are available but it is a challenge to test reliably in China and the Middle East."
"It would be great if Catchpoint could incorporate its alerting system instead of relying on separate tools like ServiceNow."
"The old user version was better, it was more user-friendly."
"Technical support for this solution is bad, as is everything with Cisco support."
"This solution would be improved with better automatic discovery for ping-only devices."
"More private MIB object support, such as WAN optimisation performance and wireless, would be helpful."
"I would like to see some layer two and layer three topology mappings, similar to what NNMi and SolarWinds presents."
"It may be helpful to have more options in the alerting section."
"I do not feel that this solution is very scalable."
"The user interface needs to be made more intuitive."
"I would like to have soft alarming. If an inner-base all of a sudden triggers a threshold, we have to rely on a lot of other tools and then we go into Statseeker to verify it. If Statseeker would confirm it preemptively and trigger it into our network panel, that would be nice."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"In terms of licensing fees, I believe they were slightly higher."
"The solution's pricing varies based on services and licensing models."
"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."
"It's probably $5K a year for the license."
"We pay a yearly maintenance fee of approximately $40,000 USD."
"Up until we actually talked to Statseeker, and Statseeker came and gave us an enterprise licensing model for multiple accounts, I would have said the pricing was not good value. The fact they've come to the party now and given us a very good discount, I would say it's probably about right, the pricing they're giving us now. But the retail pricing, if I went out and, as a separate company, and asked for pricing for one account, I probably would say their retail pricing is not competitive. The fact that they've given us a discount now because we have multiple servers across multiple accounts, I would say that pricing is about right, but not their retail pricing. It's too expensive."
"We have permanent licenses so there's really no cost, other than ongoing maintenance. When I think about it, that's running us about $20,000 a year."
"The licensing cost is yearly and it's $5,000 to $8,000, I think."
"Compared to other solutions such as Zabbix and AKiPS, this solution is very well priced."
"Pricing is reasonable but licensing should unlimited."
"This tool would probably be priced well if it had deeper NetFlow capabilities, but for our use case, in particular, we're only recovering ports after ninety days and looking at circuit congestion, it's pretty pricey."

Questions from the Community
