Threat detection failures, poor technical support, and expensive

We use the solution to manage all of our customer's systems. We monitor and decide if everything is okay and if not, we do changes when needed. For example, if there is a need to change the antivirus software we can automate the process and install the new one. There are scripts within the software…

Simplifies monitoring and provides real-time alerts for issues we might not immediately be aware of otherwise

The product has improved our organization by simplifying monitoring and giving real-time alerts for issues we might not immediately be aware of otherwise. If we notice five devices with latency or errors, I wouldn't know that if I didn't command line into 800 devices and check every day. I can see the status on the dashboard and it just makes it easy to know where the problems are. If we didn't have that capability by using Statseeker, then it would be very complex to monitor. We'd need to have another tool or manually log into every device to try to check things. And this product just does it all for us. That streamlines and improves our workload so that we only need to have two people in our office for the network team. It improves availability. If a circuit goes down texts and email alerts get sent out. So, even if it's in the evening or we're not on premises, we'll know if something's down. We use it all the time because it really helps.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The installation is easy."

"The solution offers so many great resources, it makes them a powerhouse in the market."

"The most important feature for us is the interface statistics, because our customer normally asks us for bandwidth utilization reports. Statseeker has very descriptive transmit and receive information."

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

"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."

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

"The most valuable feature is the dashboard, where you have everything right there on the screen."

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

"The most valuable feature is alerting."

"In terms of network visibility, Statseeker can be very granular. We can tell it exactly where we want it to go and where we want it to check, or it can do an SNMP walk and find out where everything is. It's very detailed."

Cons

"We did not like SolarWinds because it was not able to communicate between UPSA and our accounting system. They should have better integration."

"The price could be a bit lower."

"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."

"The user interface needs a great deal of improvement."

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

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

"It could use more features on Netflow analyser, such as time series graphs and a single network export UDP port and UDP forwarding."

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

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

"The inclusion of configuration management features and SIP links would improve this solution."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of SolarWinds Network Automation Manager is fair. However, it is more expensive than ConnectWise."

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

"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."

"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."

"Statseeker is pretty cheap."

"It would definitely be a yearly licensing cost, but I don't know what it is."

"It's probably $5K a year for the license."

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

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