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 installer itself is basically something that can be used as a no-questions-asked type of installer. I can use it with automation tools like Chef and Puppet. I don't have to answer some random questions. I can worry about all that stuff later on in the configuration."
"In my case, I prefer to only poll interfaces that have descriptions, and the ones that don't have descriptions, I don't really want to know about them. It does allow for all these bits and pieces and adjustments, and fine tuning to get it to a point where it works for my needs."
"It does have different modules, so you can extend the solution as you need it, or get as little as you need in the beginning, so you don't have to buy a full set of modules. You just buy what you need and expand later on."
"It allows for variable polling times of devices on the network. Because it's all in text, in general, that obviously makes it easier from the automation perspective as well, to modify configuration on the fly, using Puppet and those kind of tools."
"The big thing is the event management engine, which is really, really nice to use, and it comes at a reasonable price, unlike some of the competitors like Netcool from IBM. Those kinds of tools are hugely expensive and they come as resource-heavy types of solutions. This obviously doesn't require as much hardware, but it does offer similar benefits where you can manage all the events."
"The most valuable feature is alerting."
"Being able to look back historically at the uptime and downtime is invaluable."
"We are now able to easily track where problems are with bandwidth and port errors, rather than having to do a lot of diagnostics."
"We were having some issues with a certain site, and it was only Statseeker that showed us what the problem was."
"This solution has helped us to proactively identify issues and push some of those fixes down to tier one."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the simplicity of adding new devices into it."
"The graphics and trends are the most valuable for us."
"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."
"These kinds of solutions are more node- or device-based solutions. It would be nice in the future if they could be more data-oriented, so it would be easier for me to pull different stats based on ad-hoc requirements; but in a big, centralized database where I can pull specific things, and mix and match the way I want to."
"I would like to see more comprehensive reporting and alerting."
"I would like to see a friendlier user interface in the administration tool."
"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."
"The inclusion of configuration management features and SIP links would improve this solution."
"I would like to see fully automatic updates so that our version is always current."
"I would like to see some layer two and layer three topology mappings, similar to what NNMi and SolarWinds presents."
"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."
