Real-time dashboards have improved our deployment monitoring and incident response
We are using Opsview ourselves, rather than being a consultant or a reseller. We do not use its auto-discovery feature. We do not utilize its API driven architecture. I do not know what metrics we use to assess the effectiveness of Opsview's hybrid IT monitoring. Overall, I am pretty satisfied with Opsview as it is good for what it does. I do not know if Grafana has any other advantages besides better stats, as I am not involved in that side. Based on my experience, I would still recommend Opsview to others as it is good for what it does. I gave this review a rating of 8.

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 multi-tenancy that's available through this is one of the most valuable things."
"The system is very robust and very rarely breaks."
"For me, scalability and reliability are the product's most valuable features."
"The fully-extensible event handling has enabled us to reduce on-call incidents by more than 90%."
"Over the past three years, we've grown by about 200%, and the system has been able to manage that growth."
"Afterwards, they were impressed by how easy monitoring could be, and they no longer had to edit large text files in order to configure hosts and service checks."
"We now have a single view for all systems monitored within our IT estate, while we previously had three different systems (each configured differently)."
"Excellent customer support from Cerner."
"The most important feature is just the fact that it doesn't aggregate the information up, and I can look at detailed information going back quite a long time."
"This solution provides us with a quicker response in troubleshooting."
"If somebody is complaining about slow networking then this solution allows us to see various ports to find out whether they are being overloaded."
"We haven't encountered any issues with stability."
"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."
"The stability of this solution is great compared to other solutions, such as SolarWinds, and Statseeker is one step further."
"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."
 

Cons

"Customized reporting can be improved."
"In a future release, we would like to have Observ for AI. Any AI and intelligence it can add to the monitoring is obviously beneficial. We would also like to have automated callouts."
"It can be a little bit flaky with the agent on VMware."
"In Opsview 4.6.3, there is no provision for making bulk changes to monitored servers via the GUI, though it is possible to custom-script bulk changes via the API."
"Reload time: Although there have been major gains in the time to process reloads, I think that there is still room for improvement in this area."
"Pricing and a few certain aspects in the solution needs to be improved."
"It's probably the priciest option of all its main competitors."
"Some aspects of the GUI functionality need improvement."
"This product provides some good functionality. However, the reporting is right to left, which is less than ideal, the cost is significantly high, and the NetFlow capabilities are lacking."
"I would like to see more comprehensive reporting and alerting."
"Statseeker tech support was bad around 2-3 years ago."
"I don't know that the solution has had much of an impact on the complexity of our network monitoring."
"We would like to see improvements in reporting and multiple-user integration."
"Configuration management: In configuration management it would be helpful if it would backup configuration files (running and start-up configuration) for devices. (Not sure if this is already available in the latest version)."
"It could use more features on Netflow analyser, such as time series graphs and a single network export UDP port and UDP forwarding."
"I'd say the interface could improve a little bit. I find with new users, I tend to have to spend a bit of time walking them through how to use the interface. It could be a little more user friendly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is priced similarly to other tools offering similar features."
"The solution is not cheap. I think that the pricing is a little bit on the high side."
"I would rate pricing a seven out of ten, where ten is the highest price."
"The licensing cost is yearly and it's $5,000 to $8,000, I think."
"It would definitely be a yearly licensing cost, but I don't know what it is."
"Pricing is reasonable but licensing should unlimited."
"We pay a yearly maintenance fee of approximately $40,000 USD."
"When it came to selecting this solution, it came down to cost."
"We now feel the pricing is a good value. Previously we had a just a normal license but now we've got an Enterprise license. Since the Enterprise, it's been a lot better value. We did think it was pretty expensive before, but with the Enterprise license it's almost less than half that price. If you have a number of accounts within the organization that use Statseeker, I would suggest get the Enterprise license."
"Statseeker is pretty cheap."
"The yearly cost varies as per the number of devices being monitored. The cost for 25,000 devices is about $4500."
