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

"Overall, I rate SolarWinds Network Device Monitor ten out of ten."
"This product proactively tells us about issues before the users notice."
"There are vital features of auto-plugin core ports"
"SolarWinds Network Device Monitor is a straightforward product with valuable functionality."
"In terms of general network monitoring features, I find SolarWinds Network Device Monitor very flexible and comfortable to use. The software itself is extremely useful when it comes to monitoring how our data moves between different networks and environments."
"The alerting functionality in SolarWinds Network Device Monitor helps us stay informed during off-hours by sending alerts if our main links or devices are impacted, allowing us to quickly address any issues."
"The solution and its interface are elaborate and fully integrate all monitored items for easy analysis and troubleshooting."
"The most valuable features of SolarWinds Network Device Monitor are the reports. We are configuring the reports, and the first reports are only about the devices. We are configuring the thresholds in order to monitor all the devices."
More SolarWinds Network Device Monitor pros
"The most valuable features are scalability and reliability."
"Grouping, Threshold/alerts, Netflow analyser, Private MIB object support are most valuable as they can provide more visibility into network performance, and for network troubleshooting."
"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."
"It is fairly simple and easy to use as an all-purpose network monitor."
"This solution allowed us to track down trouble users."
"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."
"Device grouping is very easy, and you can discover thousands of devices in a few minutes."
"The product simplifies monitoring by providing real-time alerts through a GUI dashboard, email and texts."
More Statseeker pros
 

Cons

"If everything were in the package so that everything was ready to go out of the box, that would be ideal."
"It should provide user-friendly page"
"There is no mobile version of this product, and our team should be able to access it using a mobile device."
"The security could always be improved."
"The way they are presenting the map of our devices needs to be improved."
"Integration with different tools, such as ServiceNow and Excel, can be improved."
"When an organization's network grows, the complexity of the dashboard becomes an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The security needs improvement, which is why we are moving away from Solar Winds. We have security concerns."
More SolarWinds Network Device Monitor cons
"This solution would be improved with better automatic discovery for ping-only devices."
"Maybe they could provide a little bit more flexibility on creating custom dashboards."
"It could use more features on Netflow analyser, such as time series graphs and a single network export UDP port and UDP forwarding."
"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)."
"More private MIB object support, such as WAN optimisation performance and wireless, would be helpful."
"The user interface needs a great deal of improvement."
"The inclusion of configuration management features and SIP links would improve this solution."
"That user interface for selecting things needs to be a little more intuitive."
More Statseeker cons
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The enterprise license is good for the SolarWinds Network Device Monitor. However, it is expensive, they should reduce their price."
"Thankfully, it doesn't take a lot of manpower to install and deploy."
"The product is expensive."
"When compared with other solutions SolarWinds is more expensive."
"The price of the SolarWinds Network Device Monitor is good."
"I find the cost of SolarWinds Network Device Monitor reasonable for our company. Though, I'm not aware of the exact licensing cost."
"SolarWinds Network Device Monitor is not an expensive solution."
"I rate the product's price as three to three and a half or on a scale of one to ten, where one means low price, and ten means high price."
More SolarWinds Network Device Monitor pricing and cost advice
"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."
"We pay somewhere between $5,000 and $8,000 yearly in licensing fees."
"It's probably $5K a year for the license."
"The licensing cost is yearly and it's $5,000 to $8,000, I think."
"When it came to selecting this solution, it came down to cost."
"Statseeker is pretty cheap."
"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."
"It would definitely be a yearly licensing cost, but I don't know what it is."
