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.

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

"Reporting on NetCrunch is pretty good. It's very similar to SolarWinds. It's just a different interface. The majority of everything there was beneficial."
"We are now able to easily track where problems are with bandwidth and port errors, rather than having to do a lot of diagnostics."
"I like the fact that I can aggregate multiple interfaces into a single graph. It allows me to quickly the summary of traffic for multiple devices which is helpful."
"The most valuable feature is alerting."
"It is fairly simple and easy to use as an all-purpose network monitor."
"This solution provides us with a quicker response in troubleshooting."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the simplicity of adding new devices into it."
"We were having some issues with a certain site, and it was only Statseeker that showed us what the problem was."
"This solution helps in terms of troubleshooting, and you can do capacity planning with it."
 

Cons

"I didn't care for the role-based, permission-based options, which were not the best."
"Technical support for this solution is bad, as is everything with Cisco support."
"It would be very nice to have the Cisco ACI option included in the regular license."
"The inclusion of configuration management features and SIP links would improve this solution."
"I would like to see fully automatic updates so that our version is always current."
"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."
"It would be nice if I could easily select individual interfaces."
"That user interface for selecting things needs to be a little more intuitive."
"It doesn't do absolutely everything and it will require some additional software or hardware support to be a complete single solution."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"We pay a yearly maintenance fee of approximately $40,000 USD."
"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."
"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."
"Compared to other solutions such as Zabbix and AKiPS, this solution is very well priced."
"Statseeker is pretty cheap."
"It would definitely be a yearly licensing cost, but I don't know what it is."
"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."
