Room For Improvement

Catchpoint needs improved automation, UX, API integration, documentation, and affordability to address setup and customization challenges.
The system requires efficiency improvements in data usage, cost management, enrichment, search interface, query speed, and pre-built dashboards.
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
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.

If we could receive similar data for the China market as we do for North America and Asia Pacific, this would be helpful.

Setup Cost

Catchpoint is cost-effective for large enterprises with straightforward pricing but may be costly for smaller organizations.
<p>Sumo Logic Observability provides flexible, competitive pricing for enterprises, but additional costs may apply for advanced features and high data volumes.</p>
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
I think the cost increased because we were so dependent on Catchpoint for monitoring most of our applications.

Sumo Logic Observability offers real-time alerting, apps, team collaboration, easy integration, and a flexible query language, boosting incident resolution.
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.

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
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.

Getting up and running is easy, even for a newbie but management of searches definitely needs improvement
Operational effectiveness with regards to when there's an issue, when there's a reactive issue, people are able to, or as well as proactively, actually, because we use their PagerDuty integrations. We use queries in Sumo Logic to trigger alerts based on logging. That allows us to proactively identify issues as they're happening. With those same alerts, obviously, with that platform, you can use it to reactively start looking at troubleshooting issues as they're happening right then and there or incidents. So it's been very, very good for alerting and for troubleshooting issues. For predicting issues before they happen, it is not very good. They have a feature called anomaly detection, but I think it's quite premature compared to other stuff out there. So it's good for alerts and for troubleshooting operational effectiveness. When your operations are down or segregated, it's perfect because it will help you diagnose the issues.
