Real-time monitoring and dashboards with cost-saving licensing
SysTrack requires significant improvements. Sometimes clients experience broken links where the service doesn't run on the user's machine, causing outdated data to display. For instance, a machine's last reboot might be inaccurately shown as seven days ago instead of two days ago. Additionally, real-time data syncing issues lead to delays, requiring this to be addressed, as data might be several hours old.

Proactive analytics have improved device performance and optimized disk space and support workflows
Nexthink offers many features, with the best being Flow, which encompasses almost everything. We have Nexthink Workspace and Spark, allowing integration with Teams so users can find solutions without going to the service desk, rectifying issues in chat. Nexthink Infinity has brought a lot of benefits to us. There has been a very good change from integration. Integrating ServiceNow with Nexthink automates problem ticket and incident generation, enabling the team to proactively know the kinds of problem statements we are receiving. For the integration with Teams, we have not completed it yet, but we are in the planning phase, and once done, we will observe the results. Nexthink has the capability of integrating with most third-party applications, which is a great feature. With the remediation actions we have in Nexthink, it has provided great self-heal capabilities along with proactiveness. By looking at the dashboards and identifying problem statements, we can share this information with the end-user computing teams to fix issues. Nexthink has significantly helped us enhance our DEX score from 74 to 80. When I talk about features that led to the improvement of our score from 74 to 80, there were earlier issues with device performance and reliability not being addressed. Noting these, we identified devices lacking free disk space and low RAM capacity contributing to high memory usage or excessive CPU usage. Disabling unnecessary startup applications brought us to a new DEX score of almost 80.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"SysTrack is a BI solution for endpoints; we use it to understand the user experience at the company and user level."
"From a telemetry data standpoint, it's a perfect tool."
"It is a very powerful tool that will make your life easier."
"It is a stable product. I would rate its stability a nine out of ten."
"The visualizer feature provides end-to-end analysis on all the machines."
"This is a great tool, but it's important that system admins have training on the product and use it regularly."
"Cost-wise, SysTrack has a higher rate than other products, such as Nanoheal, but the features that SysTrack has aren't there in any other product available in the market."
"We are using the SysTrack 'Prevent' module, which shows real-time discrepancies in the infrastructure."
"Nexthink is valuable because it's enabled us to reduce the time it takes to resolve any issues."
"This solution allows us to provide quality support to our end users."
"Overall, my experience with Nexthink is that it is great, and I have recommended it to colleagues in my previous organization."
"Handling multiple endpoints can be very difficult, and I would say if you have a big organization Nexthink will be a big asset for them."
"The best thing is the remote actions that we can play on all the devices."
"All the features of Nexthink are really useful when it comes to providing visibility into the endpoints and the services that we are monitoring, but the most interesting and useful features are the campaign and remote actions."
"The DEX scores help because they give an overview of how well an organization is doing across the industry compared to other organizations."
"The most valuable feature of Nexthink is its proactive issue identification, which is part of its unique selling proposition."
 

Cons

"Their dashboard could be better. They did it custom, which is the main problem. They should have given an option to integrate it with some of the tools such as Power BI. Unfortunately, they are developing their own native dashboarding capabilities, which is killing them, in my view. The product is good, but dashboarding has been a pain area. I have to literally learn a new BI or dashboarding solution just for a system. We have 100 such kinds of solutions in our environment. If every solution has its custom solution for dashboarding, we can't survive. It is going to be crazy."
"The solution lacks AI in its analysis module."
"When I create a dashboard for a computer-based GPO or user-based GPO, I get details of all the GPOs, but the feature that we found missing is that SysTrack doesn't state how many seconds were required to apply a GPO. It doesn't tell us how many nanoseconds, seconds, or minutes it is taking to process or apply a GPO on a machine. This feature is not there. When there are major issues, if we have the processing time in place, it will help us to identify whether it could be an issue with the domain controller or something else. It would give us a clear understanding to engage other teams for resolving the issue."
"The tool needs to improve the integration with third-party providers like Cisco products."
"Lacks flexibility with regard to licensing."
"The licensing model is problematic."
"SysTrack isn't stable enough. There are too many upgrades, and not all versions are stable."
"There are a lot of issues with the solution and certain features such as the survey feature and sensors, that don't work well and need to be improved."
"The NQL script and default templates for creating remote actions are quite complex and require time to adapt."
"The solution could use better automation and less coding. Since I am part of the administrative background, I'm not completely into the development side. I'm not well versed in coding."
"Customer support is good and could be better."
"There could be improvements in monitoring user sentiments."
"In our company, we can't deploy anything from Nexthink the way we can deploy from any other endpoint solutions. It is not possible to create any dashboard in Nexthink...One should be able to schedule monitoring in Nexthink."
"We need some guidance from the Nexthink team on some of the new features they are releasing and how best to use them."
"There could be improvements in monitoring user sentiments. Currently, user sentiment is not being monitored, meaning if a user faces multiple issues, their sentiments cannot be captured through the tool."
"Customer support is one thing which needs to be improved; support team members are slow to respond, and they take a lot of time to get back to us, even if it is an urgent case."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would rate the solution's pricing a six out of ten."
"It is on a per-device basis. It is not on a per-user basis. I was not much engaged in the licensing piece. I was only a part of the conversation about how we are going to scale up or down, but its price, for sure, is competitive."
"It is somewhat expensive."
"Cost-wise, SysTrack has a higher rate than other products, such as Nanoheal, but the features that SysTrack has aren't there in any other product available in the market."
"If you compare cloud solutions to SysTrack, which is on-premises, then SysTrack is cheaper. If you compare the cost of SysTrack with that of other similar solutions, the cost is similar. For each master server, there's a license. In terms of end user devices, the licenses are sold in multiplications of 10. That's one upfront cost. Once you procure the license, you can use the software for as long as you like. The maintenance is sold on an annual basis. Additional costs are related to hosting and include a SQL server license and Windows server licenses."
"Nexthink can pay for itself quickly if you identify and complete the most valuable use cases. The tool can do so much that to purely compare the price in a static way to other tools in your arsenal would be a mistake. If you do a more dynamic comparison that’s based on the overall functionality and use cases possible then it comes out cheaper. You need to consider it a relative measurement against potential use cases, size of the organization, maturity of organization, etc."
"I would rate the tool's pricing a nine out of ten. The tool's pricing model is pay-as-you-use."
"There are certain layers when it comes to pricing. The product has three layers and these layers are associated with certain sources. For example, the top layer have the premium services and the bottom layer has the basic services."
"I have seen it help improve the user experience scores. This helped clients to save costs on another tool that they were trying to deploy in order to improve the user experience by just deploying some scripts. We were able to identify the issues and help them remediate those using our help. The process does not take much time and it provided background on end user performance. Therefore, they were able to save a lot, e.g., for approximately 50,000 endpoints at two dollars per machine per year, that is about $100,000 in savings."
"With this implementation of the Act and Engage module, I believe that there is a one-time fee for a two-month period, which is for the support team to make additional customizations."
