Cost effective but when we originally purchased LANGuardian, some features needed further development.

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

"If you are looking for a solid solution that can be easily deployed then I'd recommend considering Netfort solutions."
"Our CIO asked us to track down the source of undesired uploads, which trigger e-mails received by outside bodies regarding what they refer to as "copyright violations", and Languardian was the most efficient and effective tool for the job."
"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."
"If somebody is complaining about slow networking then this solution allows us to see various ports to find out whether they are being overloaded."
"Network visibility is fantastic."
"This solution allowed us to track down trouble users."
"It helps us track the status of over 1200 devices in multiple geographical locations."
"The monitoring provided by this solution helps us to track down and solve issues."
"The stability of this solution is great compared to other solutions, such as SolarWinds, and Statseeker is one step further."
"Customer service is excellent, with a brilliant support team that is always responsive and always positive."
 

Cons

"Sure, at the time we bought the product, the GUI and graphs/reports/pie charts etc ... were not fully developed."
"It takes a long time to load results. I think it would be great if they fix the slowness issue in the next release."
"The inclusion of configuration management features and SIP links would improve this solution."
"If it's twice as much, however, then it's already getting a little expensive."
"I would like to see fully automatic updates so that our version is always current."
"We haven't seen an ROI."
"We would like to see improvements in reporting and multiple-user integration."
"I’ve seen two Statseeker techs work several hours to fix it."
"However, the bells and whistles that other vendors have will need to be provided or enhanced in Statseeker in order for it to compete."
"I would like the ability to update the dashboard. I would also like the ability to access via an API."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"We pay somewhere between $5,000 and $8,000 yearly in licensing fees."
"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 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."
"Statseeker is pretty cheap."
"We paid $5,000 to $10,000 a year in maintenance."
"We pay a yearly maintenance fee of approximately $40,000 USD."
"Pricing is reasonable but licensing should unlimited."
"The licensing cost is yearly and it's $5,000 to $8,000, I think."
