A network monitoring platform with a useful reporting feature, but permission-based options could be better
The initial setup is fairly easy. Most of it's wizard-based. You don't have to be a rocket scientist to set it up. But if you don't know certain things related to protocols and everything else, it might be difficult. If you know how SNMP works, it'll be fairly simple to set up.

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

"The setup is very intuitive and quick - it all just took a few minutes we were done."
"Reporting on NetCrunch is pretty good; it's very similar to SolarWinds, just with a different interface, and the majority of everything there was beneficial."
"This solution will help to find problem endpoints sooner, or other issues such as throughput and network congestion."
"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."
"We are a smaller enterprise, but we're watching approximately fifteen-thousand switchboards with no problem at all."
"The most important for us is how fast this solution is, as well as the granularity that you can get to, such as per-minute statistics."
"Summary Reports provide a quick way to identify where potential issues are. Drill-downs provide more granular details very quickly."
"This solution helps in terms of troubleshooting, and you can do capacity planning with it."
"You install, add SNMP credentials, add devices and BAM. Done."
"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."
 

Cons

"I didn't care for the role-based, permission-based options, which were not the best."
"Our network is made up of a lot of Cisco devices, and it needs improvements."
"The user interface needs a great deal of improvement."
"It may be helpful to have more options in the alerting section."
"The tech support is a little lacking compared to some other products that I've worked with."
"Some of their basic licensing model is a bit of a ripoff."
"I would like to see the solution incorporate diagnosis of the workstation."
"I would like to see more comprehensive reporting and alerting."
"The inclusion of configuration management features and SIP links would improve this solution."
"The interface could be more user-friendly and it would be nice if there were enhanced options for reporting."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Statseeker is pretty cheap."
"Compared to other solutions such as Zabbix and AKiPS, this solution is very well priced."
"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 pay somewhere between $5,000 and $8,000 yearly in licensing fees."
"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."
"It's probably $5K a year for the license."
"We pay a yearly maintenance fee of approximately $40,000 USD."
"Pricing is reasonable but licensing should unlimited."
