Great for identifying application interdependencies with helpful support but needs better visualizations
We're just trying to identify the application interdependencies, which normally reside on different servers, including web servers, database servers, enterprise service bus, et cetera, up to your presentation layer before we start moving stuff around. Normally, the reason why we use these tools is to understand what assets we have, where they're deployed, and how they enter and operate before we decide to go move something from point A to point B. The solution is going to allow me to establish a wave or migration plan where you have different waves of migration and then you actually have move groups to try and get your application moved from A to B seamlessly. A to B could be on-premise to on-premise. It could be on-premise to cloud. Et cetera. The solution can tell me what components can I deploy, for example, into a cloud space, without having to refactor my applications since that can be quite time-consuming and costly.

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

"ExtraHop is far ahead of anything comparable in the industry."
"The most valuable feature is the way it handles data, from Layer 2 up to Layer 7. We can see everything that happens in the network."
"You cannot hide from the wire; all truth lives in the packets, and ExtraHop gets them to talk!"
"There are many valuable features in this product, but probably the biggest is the customization capability it has."
"ExtraHop came out with the best price, and I think that it gives us a broader view of our network."
"We have been able to improve the mean time to resolution by several hours in some cases."
"It gives you full 360-degree visibility into your entire infrastructure."
"Not only can you look at the protocol import level. It also has a live PCAP analysis."
"This solution helps in terms of troubleshooting, and you can do capacity planning with it."
"The graphics and trends are the most valuable for us."
"Network visibility is fantastic."
"The stability of this solution is great compared to other solutions, such as SolarWinds, and Statseeker is one step further."
"It is very scalable, stable, easy to use and manage."
"We have used this product since the organization was established and it has been an integral part of our business as usual functions and I would suggest that if we stopped using it then this would have a negative impact on our operations."
"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."
"In terms of network visibility, Statseeker can be very granular. We can tell it exactly where we want it to go and where we want it to check, or it can do an SNMP walk and find out where everything is. It's very detailed."
 

Cons

"We've had some struggles getting it to see everything that we want to see. Network visibility is something that needs to be improved."
"The solution could get more aggressive in the discounting of the overall cost."
"Additional out-of-the-box solutions and use cases would be nice."
"I would improve the Rule-Based Access Control (RBAC) by providing granular access control to the data."
"This solution would be improved if it had the ability to retain data longer."
"The improvement that would make the most impact would be expanding on the new EXA big data back end."
"They either have to go broad or decide what their bread and butter is and get really good at that."
"There is room for improvement in the security part. They have a new solution, ExtraHop Reveal(x), and I think it needs improvement."
"We would like to see improvements in reporting and multiple-user integration."
"Detailed data can be hard to extract in CSV form. Sometimes, being able to dump down raw data would be good so various time periods across a longer period could be analysed. At present, data can be presented within Statseeker, but there is lots of "white space" between data points."
"The tech support is a little lacking compared to some other products that I've worked with."
"I would like to see some layer two and layer three topology mappings, similar to what NNMi and SolarWinds presents."
"It would be very nice to have the Cisco ACI option included in the regular license."
"It may be helpful to have more options in the alerting section."
"I would like the ability to update the dashboard. I would also like the ability to access via an API. Then I could produce a dashboard that my C level can understand. This is just so they can go and refresh whenever they want to and see what things look like."
"The interface for this solution is terrible and can be improved in literally any way."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is fair considering the value provided."
"The price of this solution for our environment is about £650,000 ($855,000 USD) for three years."
"The pricing is higher than other solutions, but with such good features, I think it's worth it."
"We paid $5,000 to $10,000 a year in maintenance."
"We pay somewhere between $5,000 and $8,000 yearly in licensing fees."
"We pay a yearly maintenance fee of approximately $40,000 USD."
"Compared to other solutions such as Zabbix and AKiPS, this solution is very well priced."
"When it came to selecting this solution, it came down to cost."
"Pricing is reasonable but licensing should unlimited."
"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."
"The yearly cost varies as per the number of devices being monitored. The cost for 25,000 devices is about $4500."
