SolarWinds ipMonitor vs Statseeker comparison

"The most valuable feature is the availability of end devices."

"IPAM is used for IP address reservation and tracking, helping us easily identify live IP addresses."

"IPAM is used for IP address reservation and tracking, helping us easily identify live IP addresses."

"It is fairly simple and easy to use as an all-purpose network monitor."

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

"We are a smaller enterprise, but we're watching approximately fifteen-thousand switchboards with no problem at all."

"If somebody is complaining about slow networking then this solution allows us to see various ports to find out whether they are being overloaded."

"This solution allowed us to track down trouble users."

"We were having some issues with a certain site, and it was only Statseeker that showed us what the problem was."

"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."

"The licensing cost is high compared to open source tools."

"The licensing cost is high compared to open source tools."

"The solution does not include enough features and has some performance issues."

"Detailed data can be hard to extract in CSV form. Sometimes, being able to dump down raw data would be good so various time periods across a longer period could be analysed. At present, data can be presented within Statseeker, but there is lots of "white space" between data points."

"It would be nice if they had twenty-four-hour technical support because we contact Australia and we have to wait for them to open."

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

"We haven't seen an ROI."

"There is a little bit of room to improve in the alerting section to give some more options there. It's all I can think of right now off the top of my head."

"It may be helpful to have more options in the alerting section."

"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."

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

"The solution is a bit expensive because the annual license does not include new features that are priced as add-ons."

"Statseeker is pretty cheap."

"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."

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

"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."

"Pricing is reasonable but licensing should unlimited."

"One thing that needs improvement is how it's licensed. I understand historically the company licensed it off a same charge for everyone. I understand the company needs to make money, but how they introduced the tiered licensing model, and then multiple layers of licensing was a bit of an issue. So, on the whole, coming up with a licensing model that isn't confusing and complicated and is easy to understand would be one way to improve the product. They have told me lately that they're changing how they license stuff, but they haven't made that - as I understand it - in their marketing material public knowledge as of yet. I would say that at the moment it's a bit convoluted. It's confusing. Some of their basic licensing model is a bit of a ripoff. If you go over five or ten support calls in the basic licensing model they start charging you for support calls. I think that's a bit rich."

"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."

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