Easy to set up with good documentation and helpful support

I'm using it for a customer The packet flow switch is the most valuable aspect of the solution. It's an easy product to set up. We can scale the solution if we need to. It's stable. The documentation is well-written and quite useful. It's compatible with other products. Under the pocket flow…

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 tool has the ability to look back within a month's data. It is very easy to navigate within the tool and troubleshoot the problem, compared to other solutions that we've used in the past."

"The ability to troubleshoot customers' connectivity has been very beneficial."

"It helps us get to root cause quickly. With utilization and consumption of bandwidth, we can usually see what application is taking as much as they should (or shouldn't), then account for it accordingly."

"When we have mobile operators who are signal partners, where one is the roaming host and another is the roamer, we are able to see their traffic. Their packets are able to detect if any faults to develop, and at what point they fail."

"It has cut our troubleshooting down by days. Once we have a product in place, we show people examples of how it can streamline their troubleshooting process."

"The technical support is really good. They will go above and beyond, if you are running into a problem. You can go to a sales engineer, who will engage technical support to help you out."

"The most valuable features are speed and cost."

"The product is stable. I have never had any issue where we have lost an InfiniStream, or visibility from that particular InfiniStream, throughout the bank."

More NETSCOUT InfiniStreamNG pros

"The most valuable feature is the dashboard, where you have everything right there on the screen."

"Summary Reports provide a quick way to identify where potential issues are. Drill-downs provide more granular details very quickly."

"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 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."

"We are a smaller enterprise, but we're watching approximately fifteen-thousand switchboards with no problem at all."

"The most valuable feature is alerting."

"The most valuable feature of this solution is the simplicity of adding new devices into it."

"Whether it is a down network switch or a down router, we can get back online faster for the customers."

More Statseeker pros

Cons

"The NetFlow Collectors could handle more flows per minute."

"I would like to see an improved level of stitching between IPs."

"There is a timeout feature that we have been asking for awhile."

"The stability depends on who is using the tool, because you only can get as much out of the tool as you put into it. There are a lot of patches for this particular environment, so you have to keep on them. If you lose track of them, then the product is not useful anymore."

"We don't use the single pane of glass view, even though we own it."

"The single pane of glass feed still needs work."

"Being able to manage the packet flow switches in nGeniusONE would be great."

"Only problems that we have had are fiber issues going into the TAPs or vSTREAMs, which are usually local site issues."

More NETSCOUT InfiniStreamNG cons

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

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

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

"Maybe they could provide a little bit more flexibility on creating custom dashboards."

"I would like to see some layer two and layer three topology mappings, similar to what NNMi and SolarWinds presents."

"Detailed data can be hard to extract in CSV form. Sometimes, being able to dump down raw data would be good so various time periods across a longer period could be analysed. At present, data can be presented within Statseeker, but there is lots of "white space" between data points."

"If it had more detailed NetFlow information then it would be far better."

"The user interface needs a great deal of improvement."

More Statseeker cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"To capture more with the solution that we bought, you have to buy another InfiniStreamNG, and there are only four ports in the back."

"The price is a little high."

"The scalability is good, but it comes at a cost. E.g., if you need 100 InfiniStream because you are sending gigs or terabytes of data to one InfiniStream, then you will have to purchase another InfiniStream, which are not cheap."

"I would like it to be more scalable with less spend."

"It can be scalable. It just costs too much. With a company as big as ours, it gets too expensive to accommodate every single site."

"This product could be cheaper."

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

"Pricing is reasonable but licensing should unlimited."

"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 paid $5,000 to $10,000 a year in maintenance."

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