Monitoring has improved bandwidth insights and application diagnosis but setup and costs still need work
They need room for improvement about the spare parts. There are shortages in Egypt in their stock. We tried to make RMA for specific parts, and it took a long time. Comparing this to a vendor like Cisco, who provides any component next business day, NETSCOUT nGeniusONE took a long time. This needs more improvement. I believe it is expensive. They need to reduce its budget a little bit. Comparing to other solutions, it is very expensive.

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 ability of the dashboards is useful for discover, mapping and understanding of application behaviour."
"We have seen a measurable decrease in mean time to know and mean time to repair, and our overall troubleshooting time, in most cases, is down to a day, as opposed to multiple days."
"It catches bigger issues on a weekly basis. That's how often we find something big enough that the only reason we know about it is because of the nGeniusONE. The bigger issues are mostly security-type issues: Odd traffic leaving our network or coming into it, that has found its way past a firewall."
"The support is good."
"The product is very good. We have very few problems."
"Proactive versus a customer having a bad experience: That is the key point."
"It gives me the MOS, latency, and jitter."
"These vendor interlocution situations have gone from a couple of weeks to a couple of days."
"Overall, Statseeker has reduced the complexity of our network monitoring once it's installed."
"This solution will help to find problem endpoints sooner, or other issues such as throughput and network congestion."
"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."
"Device grouping is very easy, and you can discover thousands of devices in a few minutes."
"Statseeker helps reduce the complexity of our network monitoring because it's real-time, or somewhat real-time, so we're able to see stuff quickly and react to it."
"This is a very cheap solution in order for us to accomplish what we needed to do in terms of providing visibility into the network."
"It is fairly simple and easy to use as an all-purpose network monitor."
"Summary Reports provide a quick way to identify where potential issues are. Drill-downs provide more granular details very quickly."
 

Cons

"The current solution is not easy to scale, because it is an appliance-based solution. So, you have to swap everything out."
"I would like to see improvement in the user experience. It's hard to manage it."
"It's not an easy system, it's a very technical system."
"Most of the functionality I mentioned above could be improved, to be honest. Also, it's not intuitive, it's not simple to use."
"On a network the size of ours, the loading times seem a little extensive, 20 or 30 seconds to load up some graphs."
"The scalability is difficult. Packet capture and packet broker are hard to do because you ultimately have to build a separate overlay network, so you can capture the packets."
"We have a lot of timeouts when we are trying to assemble data packets together or trying to pull down a view of one particular call."
"We see it overload once in a while. It doesn't have built-in protection. Therefore, once it gets too much data, it tends to crash. Then, we have to recover it."
"The user interface needs a great deal of improvement."
"We would like to see improvements in reporting and multiple-user integration."
"I do not feel that this solution is very scalable."
"If it's twice as much, however, then it's already getting a little expensive."
"The tech support is a little lacking compared to some other products that I've worked with."
"There is no high availability over multiple locations (datacenters) and if you want to maintain what is monitored, I suggest you use the host file."
"I would like the ability to update the dashboard. I would also like the ability to access via an API. Then I could produce a dashboard that my C level can understand. This is just so they can go and refresh whenever they want to and see what things look like."
"It would be very nice to have the Cisco ACI option included in the regular license."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The license becomes cost prohibitive very quickly."
"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."
"It is very expensive, but it's well worth the money."
"The price is only for acquisition; it's not a licence."
"It can be expensive, but if you have a good configuration, based on what you are looking for, it's okay, it's manageable."
"It is a little overall pricey and expensive, but you get what you pay for."
"The biggest problem we have with this product is the expense."
"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."
"It's probably $5K a year for the license."
"We pay somewhere between $5,000 and $8,000 yearly in licensing fees."
"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."
"The yearly cost varies as per the number of devices being monitored. The cost for 25,000 devices is about $4500."
"When it came to selecting this solution, it came down to cost."
"It would definitely be a yearly licensing cost, but I don't know what it is."
"Statseeker is pretty cheap."
"The licensing cost is yearly and it's $5,000 to $8,000, I think."
