Pros
"A reliable, time-saving tool for providing accurate layer 2 and layer 3 network mappings.""NetBrain is a very simple tool.""Enables maps to be drawn out.""This product has good network monitoring and troubleshooting capabilities.""Chain management is a good feature. I don't get it on other solutions."

More NetBrain Pros →

"This solution helps in terms of troubleshooting, and you can do capacity planning with it.""The monitoring provided by this solution helps us to track down and solve issues.""It also allows us to predict the capacity on WAN circuits, as well as other circuits, to help us plan for upgrading.""The product simplifies monitoring by providing real-time alerts through a GUI dashboard, email and texts.""We're able to recover more expensive ports on our access line devices.""Summary Reports provide a quick way to identify where potential issues are. Drill-downs provide more granular details very quickly.""We are a smaller enterprise, but we're watching approximately fifteen-thousand switchboards with no problem at all.""The solution reduces the complexity of our network monitoring because it can make my engineers do their jobs faster. The solution also reduces troubleshooting time for network administrators to pinpoint issues quicker."

More Statseeker Pros →

Cons
"Each device needs to be configured to allow NetBrain to poll for the information it needs, which can be very time-consuming for a large network.""The solution could integrate more automation.""It would be nice if the setup was a little simpler. Also, if the solution could provide more training materials for new people coming into our company so they can quickly learn how to use the functionalities.""The IP interface brief isn't consistent.""Support needs to improve for the installed product and some of the reporting could be more flexible to provide more complete cataloging."

More NetBrain Cons →

"I would like to see some layer two and layer three topology mappings, similar to what NNMi and SolarWinds presents.""It would be nice if they had twenty-four-hour technical support because we contact Australia and we have to wait for them to open.""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.""That user interface for selecting things needs to be a little more intuitive.""It may be helpful to have more options in the alerting section.""I would like to see the solution incorporate diagnosis of the workstation.""Maybe they could provide a little bit more flexibility on creating custom dashboards.""With Statseeker I'd like to see some flow, i.e. what's tuning-up the network. The trend I like is managing the traffic load by going to the cloud."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The product is expensive, but less expensive than some of the competition and worth the price."
  • "Licensing is based on a per-device basis, which means that it can get very expensive if you have a large number of devices."
  • More NetBrain Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Pricing is reasonable but licensing should unlimited."
  • "One thing that needs improvement is how it's licensed. I understand historically the company licensed it off a same charge for everyone. I understand the company needs to make money, but how they introduced the tiered licensing model, and then multiple layers of licensing was a bit of an issue. So, on the whole, coming up with a licensing model that isn't confusing and complicated and is easy to understand would be one way to improve the product. They have told me lately that they're changing how they license stuff, but they haven't made that - as I understand it - in their marketing material public knowledge as of yet. I would say that at the moment it's a bit convoluted. It's confusing. Some of their basic licensing model is a bit of a ripoff. If you go over five or ten support calls in the basic licensing model they start charging you for support calls. I think that's a bit rich."
  • "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."
  • "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."
  • "We paid $5,000 to $10,000 a year in maintenance."
  • "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."
  • "It would definitely be a yearly licensing cost, but I don't know what it is."
  • "It's probably $5K a year for the license."
