High performance, quick packet monitoring, and helpful support
The solution could improve by having automatic mitigation. For example, as soon as a problem occurs the solution alarms and mitigates the situation immediately. In a feature release of the solution they should add features related to automation and remediation. Automation would help increase level of security the solution provides.

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 NIKSUN NetVCR are its performance and forensic capabilities. Additionally, the information that the solution provides is highly detailed and useful. When dealing with network traffic packets can be sent at a high speed causing some security issues, but this solution is able to rapidly monitor the packets providing security."
"NIKSUN provides you with the why, what, when and where type of answers to all your network problems."
"The unique selling point of NIKSUN is its ability to scale and its reporting capabilities. NIKSUN captures the packets at a very high speed, from one GB to 160 Gbps also. It offers report granularity in nanoseconds."
"We are now able to easily track where problems are with bandwidth and port errors, rather than having to do a lot of diagnostics."
"Statseeker is very fast and fantastic in terms of granularity of network visibility, letting us get down to per-minute statistics that are really useful for diagnosing problems and troubleshooting traffic hop by hop."
"This solution helps in terms of troubleshooting, and you can do capacity planning with 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."
"This is a great product for anybody looking for network monitoring, and I would highly recommend it."
"You install, add SNMP credentials, add devices and BAM. Done."
"The product does what we need it to do, and definitely gives us heads-up on results and issues we are having in a timely manner."
"Summary Reports provide a quick way to identify where potential issues are. Drill-downs provide more granular details very quickly."
 

Cons

"The solution could improve by having automatic mitigation. For example, as soon as a problem occurs the solution alarms and mitigates the situation immediately."
"NIKSUN is a passive solution. It provides you with you data, alerts, reports and the root cause of issues. However, it requires a person to make use of this functionality. If an event is happening and nobody attends to it, the effects of the event could be severe."
"I do not feel that this solution is very scalable."
"I would like to see the solution incorporate diagnosis of the workstation."
"It would be nice if I could easily select individual interfaces."
"The inclusion of configuration management features and SIP links would improve this solution."
"The interface could be more user-friendly and it would be nice if there were enhanced options for reporting."
"Statseeker tech support was bad around 2-3 years ago."
"I would like to see NetFlow improved, with better reporting capabilities that are similar to Scrutinizer."
"I would like to see more comprehensive reporting and alerting."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of the solution is high. There is an annual license costs."
"The yearly cost varies as per the number of devices being monitored. The cost for 25,000 devices is about $4500."
"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 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."
"Statseeker is pretty cheap."
"We pay a yearly maintenance fee of approximately $40,000 USD."
"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."
