Find out what your peers are saying about Zabbix, Datadog, Auvik and others in Network Monitoring Software."We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"The solution helps us get to root cause quickly by using the Media Monitor to help identify QoS mismatches for voice calls on the network."
"The most valuable features are visibility, real-time, on-demand."
"From the standpoint of VoLTE and related things, it's providing visibility into the network and how it operates."
"The speed that you can get from the top of a problem all the way down to the packet layer of troubleshooting analysis."
"The biggest benefit is the ability to do low-level packet inspection. When I say packet inspection, I don't mean looking at payload, but just looking at your communication handshakes and the like. It reduces troubleshooting time because you can get a much better view into the communications path between servers, database servers, web servers, and understand what's going on."
"It gives me the MOS, latency, and jitter."
"The fact that it's able to capture and store packets from the wires is very useful for troubleshooting with our vendors, when issues do come up. It's valuable that we have that overall data for them."
"Network faults are easily and quickly identified through dashboards and drill down."
"If you need a product that's able to monitor all the ports in your environment or all the ports that you want, this is a great product to use. Statseeker is quite flexible in tailoring the product, spending time tailoring the product with you. It's fairly low maintenance. It's quite quick."
"It also allows us to predict the capacity on WAN circuits, as well as other circuits, to help us plan for upgrading."
"The product simplifies monitoring by providing real-time alerts through a GUI dashboard, email and texts."
"If somebody is complaining about slow networking then this solution allows us to see various ports to find out whether they are being overloaded."
"Statseeker helps to quickly see if you have a spike or something going on. In the future, we need to get NetFlow in the tool so we can see what the IP is."
"We were having some issues with a certain site, and it was only Statseeker that showed us what the problem was."
"Device grouping is very easy, and you can discover thousands of devices in a few minutes."
"The most important for us is how fast this solution is, as well as the granularity that you can get to, such as per-minute statistics."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"There is currently less visibility or GUI to analyse the packet for troubleshooting purposes."
"The solution is not easy to install."
"We would like more encryption of customer data, because we have a very security conscious company. We have a lot of regulation coming in which requires us to make customer data private."
"The stability is only fair. It goes down a lot."
"It's not intuitive, it's not simple to use. It is probably the only monitoring tool, out of all the ones that I have, that I really need an expert on, an expert from nGenius, a contractor that I have to pay, to manage the tool. And that's because it's simply not easy to use. Netscout needs to focus on making it easier to use."
"I would like more in-depth convergence between all the applications, especially when I look for information through a data mine."
"On a network the size of ours, the loading times seem a little extensive, 20 or 30 seconds to load up some graphs."
"In previous versions, we used to have an icon on the dashboard when the situation analysis would present an alert. It would be nice if that would be made available on the dashboard again. Something that could be customizable to only illuminate on certain applications."
"I would like to see fully automatic updates so that our version is always current."
"The user interface needs to be made more intuitive."
"That user interface for selecting things needs to be a little more intuitive."
"I would like to see the solution incorporate diagnosis of the workstation."
"I would like to see some layer two and layer three topology mappings, similar to what NNMi and SolarWinds presents."
"It may be helpful to have more options in the alerting section."
"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."
