We performed a comparison between IBM SevOne Network Performance Management (NPM) and Statseeker based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Zabbix, Datadog, Auvik and others in Network Monitoring Software."We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"Another useful feature is that SevOne gives you real-time insights into your network performance. It polls every five minutes. That is important for our customers because there are some network teams that are always monitoring their networks."
"Scalability. I have never had to worry about how to handle really big environments."
"With this tool it is interesting to show the info to the client and explain where the traffic is."
"The network data collection has been very flexible for us. It's been thorough in areas that were lacking. They have a team that I've worked with to add other pieces to it. So if it's missing something out of the box, they work with me to add it. I was able to collect that data. It's not perfect, but it's pretty thorough."
"It also gives us the closest thing to real-time insight into network performance that we have, with just a 10-second delay. It's very important for us to know the health of the infrastructure very quickly."
"The most valuable feature is the NMS because that's the core of the system. Without the NMS, the other tools aren't that usable."
"SevOne has rich API capabilities, giving us the flexibility to control what we collect and customize the collection, creation, and manipulation of now metrics as necessary."
"One of the most valuable features is the graphs, which you can build instantly. I have used some open-source platforms in the past, but they are not as good. With SevOne, the sampling in the graph can be every few seconds, not just every few minutes, and that's really helpful. It's really fast."
"It also allows us to predict the capacity on WAN circuits, as well as other circuits, to help us plan for upgrading."
"Whether it is a down network switch or a down router, we can get back online faster for the customers."
"It is fairly simple and easy to use as an all-purpose network monitor."
"This solution allowed us to track down trouble users."
"This solution helps in terms of troubleshooting, and you can do capacity planning with it."
"The most valuable feature is alerting."
"Grouping, Threshold/alerts, Netflow analyser, Private MIB object support are most valuable as they can provide more visibility into network performance, and for network troubleshooting."
"The most valuable features are scalability and reliability."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"NMS has several areas for improvement. It should be more user-friendly inside of NMS for some of the functionality in there. It's been getting better the last version or two, but the there have been bugs in there whenever I've gone to new versions."
"One area that requires a little bit of improvement is the topology of visualization and being able to map out connections, end-to-end. It's able to do that, but it's not as impressive as we would like it to be. We would like to understand the different interface types and the connection points better, through the visualization. Heatmaps also need further development."
"Would benefit with the addition of AI modules for proactive data insights."
"Their virtualization solution is not compatible with our Kubernetes environment, which is one of the reasons we are ending our relationship with them."
"The method of searching for SIP and the way to create the groups."
"You need to plan integrations. That has been the biggest bug with SevOne so far. For the things that SevOne pulls directly, those are easy to understand, modify, and put into the database. For things that need to use the Universal Collector or xStats, you need to plan that stuff well in advance."
"When I started using it, I tried adding one of the BroadWorks application servers into SevOne... it created thousands and thousands of objects from that one application server and we immediately ran out of license... It would help, when new objects are discovered, if there were a way to categorize those objects and to pick the part of the object you need..."
"The user management features need to be improved. It would be nice if we had more granular control, or layers of control, out of the box."
"That user interface for selecting things needs to be a little more intuitive."
"This solution would be improved with better automatic discovery for ping-only devices."
"The main issue I've seen, in the last six months to a year, is when I upgrade I seem to be hitting bugs. The upgrade won't go smoothly and I have to engage support. These things happen when you upgrade, it's not the end of the world, but from a stability point of view, the only time I've so far, is during upgrades."
"It would be nice if I could easily select individual interfaces."
"Technical support for this solution is bad, as is everything with Cisco support."
"The user interface needs to be made more intuitive."
"It may be helpful to have more options in the alerting section."
"It doesn't do absolutely everything and it will require some additional software or hardware support to be a complete single solution."
