Executive SummaryUpdated on Oct 10, 2024

Statseeker and Nagios Core are network monitoring solutions. Statseeker stands out for its user-friendly interface and advanced reporting, while Nagios Core's open-source framework and customization provide greater value for users prioritizing flexibility.

Features: Statseeker offers real-time data analytics, efficient network monitoring driven by advanced alerting systems, and rapid scalability. Nagios Core provides extensive plugin support, flexibility in diverse network environments, and adaptability through customizable features.

Room for Improvement: Statseeker's premium pricing could be a barrier for smaller enterprises, its integration with non-standard systems may need enhancement, and the user interface might require updates for modernization. Nagios Core may require ease of use improvements and streamlined deployments for less technical users, and an enhanced default interface.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Statseeker offers a streamlined deployment process with comprehensive customer support and dedicated resources for integration. Nagios Core, although less intuitive, benefits from a community-driven support system with extensive documentation suitable for technically skilled teams.

Pricing and ROI: Statseeker involves higher initial costs, justified by its tailored solutions and ROI in expansive networks. Nagios Core, being open-source, minimizes upfront costs despite potential investments in custom development.

Valuable reporting and alert system with room for PDF export improvements
The NetEase reporting structure needs improvement, especially the availability report, which is weak. It should be generated automatically with minimal human intervention and should be exportable as a PDF. Besides that, an integrated PDF export feature for reports is necessary. Also, the alert mechanism and graphing mechanism need to be integrated properly into Nagios Core. Currently, integrating these requires advanced Linux knowledge. Integration of more visualization tools like Grafana and Prometheus for better graphing and visualization is also recommended.

Simplifies monitoring and provides real-time alerts for issues we might not immediately be aware of otherwise
The product has improved our organization by simplifying monitoring and giving real-time alerts for issues we might not immediately be aware of otherwise. If we notice five devices with latency or errors, I wouldn't know that if I didn't command line into 800 devices and check every day. I can see the status on the dashboard and it just makes it easy to know where the problems are. If we didn't have that capability by using Statseeker, then it would be very complex to monitor. We'd need to have another tool or manually log into every device to try to check things. And this product just does it all for us. That streamlines and improves our workload so that we only need to have two people in our office for the network team. It improves availability. If a circuit goes down texts and email alerts get sent out. So, even if it's in the evening or we're not on premises, we'll know if something's down. We use it all the time because it really helps.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Monitoring with Nagios Core is helpful because it provides immediate alerts if something goes down, such as a server, or wireless router, or if there's a cable break. This allows us to respond promptly to any issues."
"Nagios Core is stable."
"We mostly use Nagios Core to integrate with Python and Bash Script."
"The reporting structure and the feature set are valuable to me."
"The solution is quite efficient."
"Other products are good but from the configuration point of view Nagios is really very lightweight. The price is really good in my opinion. Another important thing is that my Nagios engine still works with Dual core 8GB ram for the last 10 years."
"The most valuable feature depends on the project. It's great if you need to check to ensure a service is running 24/7. I can use the full solution for free, and it's flexible. If I need to add a dashboard, I can integrate it with Nagios. Cloud synchronization is wonderful."
"It has made the life of the network operations staff more proactive in managing the resources of the infrastructure. It prevents disasters long before they can take place."
More Nagios Core pros
"This solution allowed us to track down trouble users."
"We are now able to easily track where problems are with bandwidth and port errors, rather than having to do a lot of diagnostics."
"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."
"We were having some issues with a certain site, and it was only Statseeker that showed us what the problem was."
"It catches frequent flapping of the network and provides detailed reports of outages."
"If somebody is complaining about slow networking then this solution allows us to see various ports to find out whether they are being overloaded."
"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."
"Statseeker helps to quickly see if you have a spike or something going on. In the future, we need to get NetFlow in the tool so we can see what the IP is."
More Statseeker pros
 

Cons

"I would like to see more training videos."
"Would benefit from aggregations if a particular server goes down."
"It's not that easy to install the product itself. Also, the UI is a bit hard for regular users to navigate through."
"The dashboard should be improved."
"The interface could be improved."
"There is room for improvement in the graphics."
"Nagios Core is limited in terms of distributed setups, and there is no central view for remote data centers."
"The UI is a little outdated and graphics could be displayed in a better way."
More Nagios Core cons
"It would be very nice to have the Cisco ACI option included in the regular license."
"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 could be more user-friendly and it would be nice if there were enhanced options for reporting."
"Maybe they could provide a little bit more flexibility on creating custom dashboards."
"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."
"There is a little bit of room to improve in the alerting section to give some more options there. It's all I can think of right now off the top of my head."
"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."
"I would like to see fully automatic updates so that our version is always current."
More Statseeker cons
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Lessening the price point would be an improvement."
"We are using the free version."
"Nagios Core is an open source solution, and there are no licensing fees."
"Nagios Core is free to use."
"Nagios Core is a cheap solution."
"I would rate the solution's pricing an eight out of ten."
"We are using the free version of Nagios Core."
"The solution is expensive."
More Nagios Core pricing and cost advice
"We now feel the pricing is a good value. Previously we had a just a normal license but now we've got an Enterprise license. Since the Enterprise, it's been a lot better value. We did think it was pretty expensive before, but with the Enterprise license it's almost less than half that price. If you have a number of accounts within the organization that use Statseeker, I would suggest get the Enterprise license."
"The licensing cost is yearly and it's $5,000 to $8,000, I think."
"When it came to selecting this solution, it came down to cost."
"We paid $5,000 to $10,000 a year in maintenance."
"We pay a yearly maintenance fee of approximately $40,000 USD."
"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."
"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."
"Pricing is reasonable but licensing should unlimited."
