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.

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."

"This solution has helped us to proactively identify issues and push some of those fixes down to tier one."

"This solution helps in terms of troubleshooting, and you can do capacity planning with it."

"I am happy to advise others to use this product for monitoring their networks, as it is working so well."

"This solution helps us to track down problems faster; whether it is a down network switch or a down router, we can get back online faster for the customers."

"It is fairly simple and easy to use as an all-purpose network monitor."

"You install, add SNMP credentials, add devices and BAM. Done."

"The product simplifies monitoring by providing real-time alerts through a GUI dashboard, email and texts."

"Device grouping is very easy, and you can discover thousands of devices in a few minutes."

More Statseeker pros

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."

"Configuration management: In configuration management it would be helpful if it would backup configuration files (running and start-up configuration) for devices. (Not sure if this is already available in the latest version)."

"Configuration management: In configuration management it would be helpful if it would backup configuration files (running and start-up configuration) for devices."

"The interface could be more user-friendly and it would be nice if there were enhanced options for reporting."

"There is a little bit of room to improve in the alerting section to give some more options there."

"This solution would be improved with better automatic discovery for ping-only devices."

"It would be very nice to have the Cisco ACI option included in the regular license."

"It doesn't do absolutely everything and it will require some additional software or hardware support to be a complete single solution."

"I would like to see fully automatic updates so that our version is always current."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"It's probably $5K a year for the license."

"The yearly cost varies as per the number of devices being monitored. The cost for 25,000 devices is about $4500."

"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."

"When it came to selecting this solution, it came down to cost."

"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."

"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."

"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 pay a yearly maintenance fee of approximately $40,000 USD."
