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

"This product proactively tells us about issues before the users notice."

"The alerts we are getting when we start losing connection access have been helpful."

"The most valuable feature of SolarWinds Network Device Monitor is it can alert you when a device is not working."

"The initial setup is straightforward."

"Since our devices are spread out across the world, we can see the status of these devices without having to send someone physically to a remote location, which saves money."

"SolarWinds Network Device Monitor is a straightforward product with valuable functionality."

"Overall, I rate SolarWinds Network Device Monitor ten out of ten."

"You can create an attractive dashboard and create a hierarchy."

More SolarWinds Network Device Monitor pros

"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."

"We're able to recover more expensive ports on our access line devices."

"Device grouping is very easy, and you can discover thousands of devices in a few minutes."

"This solution has helped us to proactively identify issues and push some of those fixes down to tier one."

"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 of this solution is the simplicity of adding new devices into it."

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

"We are now able to easily track where problems are with bandwidth and port errors, rather than having to do a lot of diagnostics."

More Statseeker pros

Cons

"SolarWinds pricing is on the higher side, and in India, every customer is cautious about commercial aspects."

"It should provide user-friendly page"

"The solution lacks in performance monitoring."

"The solution is not user-friendly."

"In terms of price, it could be less expensive."

"Although I haven't explored all of the features available, I wouldn't mind if the software were made to be a bit more customizable."

"The solution should have AI-powered issue-resolving capabilities"

"There is no mobile version of this product, and our team should be able to access it using a mobile device."

More SolarWinds Network Device Monitor cons

"It would be very nice to have the Cisco ACI option included in the regular license."

"I would like to see the solution incorporate diagnosis of the workstation."

"I would like to see fully automatic updates so that our version is always current."

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

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

"The interface could be more user-friendly and it would be nice if there were enhanced options for reporting."

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

"The main issue I've seen, in the last six months to a year, is when I upgrade I seem to be hitting bugs. The upgrade won't go smoothly and I have to engage support. These things happen when you upgrade, it's not the end of the world, but from a stability point of view, the only time I've so far, is during upgrades."

More Statseeker cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Thankfully, it doesn't take a lot of manpower to install and deploy."

"SolarWinds Network Device Monitor is not an expensive solution."

"The price of the SolarWinds Network Device Monitor is good."

"When compared with other solutions SolarWinds is more expensive."

"The product is expensive."

"Well, we had a perpetual license and the renewal was $20 to $25,000."

"The enterprise license is good for the SolarWinds Network Device Monitor. However, it is expensive, they should reduce their price."

"I find the cost of SolarWinds Network Device Monitor reasonable for our company. Though, I'm not aware of the exact licensing cost."

More SolarWinds Network Device Monitor pricing and cost advice

"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."

"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."

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

"Pricing is reasonable but licensing should unlimited."

"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."

"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."

"The licensing cost is yearly and it's $5,000 to $8,000, I think."
