Executive SummaryUpdated on Oct 10, 2024

Statseeker and NETSCOUT nGeniusPULSE are competing solutions in network performance monitoring and management. Statseeker offers favorable pricing and customer support, but NETSCOUT nGeniusPULSE leads with advanced features due to its comprehensive capabilities.

Features: Statseeker includes real-time network performance monitoring, highly granular data collection, and historical data retention. It provides streamlined analytics with minimal resource consumption. NETSCOUT nGeniusPULSE provides robust analysis of application performance, checks availability, and measures response time metrics across multiple network layers and device types. While both solutions enable essential monitoring features, NETSCOUT focuses more on application-level insights.

Room for Improvement: Statseeker could enhance its application performance analysis, offer more comprehensive insights into diverse network layers, and improve device type compatibility. NETSCOUT nGeniusPULSE can work on simplifying its deployment process, increase its user interface intuitiveness, and optimize setup time to better compete with streamlined systems like Statseeker.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Statseeker offers straightforward deployment, integrates easily with existing systems, and requires minimal setup time, all supported by reliable customer service. NETSCOUT nGeniusPULSE features a more complex deployment process due to its extensive capabilities, but this complexity is justified by its comprehensive end-to-end service assurance and excellent customer support, albeit with a more demanding initial setup effort.

Pricing and ROI: Statseeker is appreciated for its competitive pricing structure and provides a good ROI due to its cost-effective setup and operation. NETSCOUT nGeniusPULSE, despite higher setup costs, justifies its pricing with extensive features and deeper insights, contributing to a robust long-term ROI. Choosing between the two depends on budget versus the need for advanced monitoring capabilities.

Offers real-time monitoring capabilities, which help businesses optimize their operations

The tools are part of managed environments, but when the capabilities of the routers need to be increased, we use NETSCOUT to manage things at an international level. The tool's user interface is okay. It would be great if the tool could provide alerts during attacks in Spanish. In the next release, if the traffic analysis could send our company an alert before an attack starts, it would be even better. Before an attack starts, seeing the traffic behavior and activities would be great. The tool should also share alerts since it is an area where the product has certain shortcomings.

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 of this solution are monitoring and maintaining traffic queuing, as well as seeing who is using the bandwidth."

"This is a very reliable and complete solution for troubleshooting and monitoring environments."

"I like the single pane of glass view because it presents everything in one window, obviously. You can see it all. With a quick glance, you get a pretty good snapshot of what's going on in a particular situation."

"I like the single pane of glass view. I like being able to go to one place instead of having to hunt around for everything."

"The solution's technical support team consists of good engineers and technicians."

"The most valuable feature of NETSCOUT nGeniusPULSE is the network troubleshooting analysis. You can pinpoint an issue before it could shut down the network."

"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."

"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."

"This solution provides us with a quicker response in troubleshooting."

"It also allows us to predict the capacity on WAN circuits, as well as other circuits, to help us plan for upgrading."

"Being able to look back historically at the uptime and downtime is invaluable."

"Key features for us are custom reporting, 95th Percentile, and trend lines."

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

"It catches frequent flapping of the network and provides detailed reports of outages."

More Statseeker pros

Cons

"The price of the solution could be reduced."

"Usability is the area with the biggest room for improvement. We've found that with NETSCOUT, while it's a fantastic product, the usability is a major factor because there are just way too many clicks. It's obvious, from our experience, that the people who are developing the product aren't using it."

"In terms of additional features, I would like to see better event notification. Right now, we put in an email address to receive an alert and it receives every event and every alert that comes out. We need something a little more granular."

"They require a lot of manual effort as traffic flows, networks, and formal times change."

"Before an attack starts, seeing the traffic behavior and activities would be great. The tool should also share alerts since it is an area where the product has certain shortcomings."

"The GUI interface and dashboards could be more attractive to the customer."

"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. If Statseeker would confirm it preemptively and trigger it into our network panel, that would be nice."

"That user interface for selecting things needs to be a little more intuitive."

"I would like to see more comprehensive reporting and alerting."

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

"Technical support for this solution is bad, as is everything with Cisco support."

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

"More private MIB object support, such as WAN optimisation performance and wireless, would be helpful."

More Statseeker cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool's price is okay. On a scale of one to ten, I rate it as a five, where one means it is not expensive, and ten means it is the most expensive."

"The price of NETSCOUT nGeniusPULSE is high. The other solutions are less expensive but we cannot depend on the other solutions, they are not as stable."

"Cost is contracted on a yearly basis. There is no additional cost beyond the standard licensing."

"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."

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

"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."

"Compared to other solutions such as Zabbix and AKiPS, this solution is very well priced."

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

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

"Statseeker is pretty cheap."
