Offers detailed network monitoring but requires improvement in deployment complexity and pricing

The price is really high, making it difficult for many financial companies to purchase immediately; it will take time for them to afford any budget for the purchase. The traffic data correlation feature's effectiveness with performance issues for clients remains uncertain as there are questions that need to be addressed through engineers regarding how many customers are actually using it. Regarding pricing and value for money, while the solution has the potential to save time and money for clients in the long term, monitoring solutions for performance management or network monitoring do not cause immediate damage to a company. It could lead to damage over time, but financial and management teams typically cannot see the immediate crisis. This is why many big companies Samsung and Hyundai try to build their own monitoring solutions using open-source tools and their own engineers, though it has not been successful.

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 most valuable features are visibility, real-time, on-demand."

"The solution transforms packet wire data into real-time data that is actionable. It helps us with faster detection of issues and allows us to create alerts."

"The visual and graphical interfaces in the display that it provides for us to show our senior leadership. We can show them what is actually happening, instead of a spreadsheet."

"It's easy to detect unwanted traffic with all the detection tools available."

"The most valuable feature is visibility."

"Packet decode and bandwidth analysis reports are the two most valuable features."

"This solution provides us with increased visibility while conducting IT deployments. E.g., if we have devices which have overloaded or links which have saturated, then this tool tells us exactly what is going on with that link or device. Very few tools do it at this level for things like DDoS."

"The speed that you can get from the top of a problem all the way down to the packet layer of troubleshooting analysis."

More NETSCOUT nGeniusONE pros

"This solution will help to find problem endpoints sooner, or other issues such as throughput and network congestion."

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

"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."

"The most valuable feature is alerting."

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

"We can quickly see at a glance the overall status of devices on the network."

"If somebody is complaining about slow networking then this solution allows us to see various ports to find out whether they are being overloaded."

More Statseeker pros

Cons

"For individual subscriber tracings, sometimes it does not capture all the messages."

"I'd like to see the nGeniusONE, the nGeniusPULSE, and the OptiView, their three separate products, work a little better together, a little more streamlined."

"There is a big issue with the special way they use InfiniStream to store data."

"While it is good, the single pane of glass view is too high level. It is better for management or someone doing sanity checks."

"Initially, we were having a lot of issues with bugs when using version 6.1.1. There were a lot of problems with the dashboard causing confusion."

"Its initial setup process is complicated."

"While it is good, the single pane of glass view is too high level. It is better for management or someone doing sanity checks. A lot of times, I need to go deeper into the additional screens to get what I want out of it."

"The feature I am looking for is the Arbor technology, especially to run in parallel with our firewall... It's getting there."

More NETSCOUT nGeniusONE cons

"This product provides some good functionality. However, the reporting is right to left, which is less than ideal, the cost is significantly high, and the NetFlow capabilities are lacking."

"The user interface needs to be made more intuitive."

"I would like the ability to update the dashboard. I would also like the ability to access via an API."

"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 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."

"The inclusion of configuration management features and SIP links would improve this solution."

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This solution has saved us more than $50,000 a month and freed up 30 percent of our bandwidth."

"Cost is probably the biggest drawback. Compared to some of the newer vendors that have popped up in the space, it's definitely more on the expensive side... [But] it's been able to keep its value, even in the face of the cheaper competition."

"The platform is expensive."

"We have a premium customized contract for the solution."

"It can be expensive, but if you have a good configuration, based on what you are looking for, it's okay, it's manageable."

"Make sure you get the low down on your licensing and understand the licensing requirements before making a purchase, especially when it comes to an upgrade. Make sure that it suits your needs before you commit to it. For example, we purchased ATA at version 6.2.1. At that time, the licensing covered everything we need. NETSCOUT comes out with 6.2.2, stating that in order to upgrade, you had to purchase CyberStream licensing. Now that requires some additional funding from both a capital investment and a maintenance cost. That's something that should have been said, "Well, if you want these additional features, you will need to purchase these CyberStreams." Otherwise, we should be allowed to continue on the basic operations as it is now through the newer releases without being stuck."

"Licensing is flexible, it's not tied to anything else. We can easily switch up the licensing piece... Obviously, NETSCOUT is a little bit in the higher range, but it gives you value for money. You get what you pay for."

"Like any company, we always want better pricing. The pricing is okay, but it's not a cheap solution. When you want to deploy it across an enterprise as large as ours, you go into seven figures. It's not a cheap solution to get out there."

More NETSCOUT nGeniusONE pricing and cost advice

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

"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."

"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."

"Pricing is reasonable but licensing should unlimited."

"Statseeker is pretty cheap."

"We pay somewhere between $5,000 and $8,000 yearly in licensing fees."
