Offers some features but needs better customization and analysis tools
There are solutions that can perform better, but due to pricing for our corporate implementation, we had to stay with this solution. It accomplishes the necessary tasks, but there is room for improvement. The features are not as customizable as we would prefer, but they are workable. If configured properly, you can perform a drill-down analysis. However, I have not used this feature much for our infrastructure on the network side.

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 product is useful for switches and IP phones."
"The solution and its interface are elaborate and fully integrate all monitored items for easy analysis and troubleshooting."
"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."
"The Network Device Monitor itself is very useful."
"Overall, I rate SolarWinds Network Device Monitor ten out of ten."
"The deployment process is quick."
"This product has been quite stable and we are very likely to continue using it in the future."
"Link monitoring is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"The solution reduces the complexity of our network monitoring because it can make my engineers do their jobs faster. The solution also reduces troubleshooting time for network administrators to pinpoint issues quicker."
"The most valuable feature is alerting."
"I like the fact that I can aggregate multiple interfaces into a single graph. It allows me to quickly the summary of traffic for multiple devices which is helpful."
"I believe Statseeker has reduced the complexity of our network monitoring, providing real-time alerts and on-demand graphs that improve our network availability."
"I love the historical data and the fact that it doesn't average it when it saves it."
"Overall, Statseeker has reduced the complexity of our network monitoring once it's installed."
"We haven't encountered any issues with stability."
"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."
 

Cons

"There were certain aspects that weren't supported exactly. I was just able to monitor some basic things."
"The main disadvantage of SolarWinds Network Device Monitor is the licensing cost, which is expensive."
"Integration with different tools, such as ServiceNow and Excel, can be improved."
"SolarWinds Network Device Monitor lacks the granularity of other monitoring tools like LiveNX."
"The data is in the system but we are unable to pull it because reporting is not integrated and versatile."
"The initial setup is a bit complex. It's not for anyone who is a beginner to work in the products to do it."
"It should provide user-friendly page"
"Technical support needs to respond to its customers faster. We are not 100% satisfied with the level of support we get."
"It would be nice if I could easily select individual interfaces."
"I would like to see the solution incorporate diagnosis of the workstation."
"I would like to see a friendlier user interface in the administration tool."
"There is no high availability over multiple locations (datacenters) and if you want to maintain what is monitored, I suggest you use the host file."
"The inclusion of configuration management features and SIP links would improve this solution."
"Statseeker tech support was bad around 2-3 years ago."
"It doesn't do absolutely everything and it will require some additional software or hardware support to be a complete single solution."
"The interface could be more user-friendly and it would be nice if there were enhanced options for reporting."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The enterprise license is good for the SolarWinds Network Device Monitor. However, it is expensive, they should reduce their price."
"Well, we had a perpetual license and the renewal was $20 to $25,000."
"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."
"The product is expensive."
"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."
"I find the cost of SolarWinds Network Device Monitor reasonable for our company. Though, I'm not aware of the exact licensing cost."
"Statseeker is pretty cheap."
"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."
"Pricing is reasonable but licensing should unlimited."
"It's probably $5K a year for the license."
"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."
"When it came to selecting this solution, it came down to cost."
"The yearly cost varies as per the number of devices being monitored. The cost for 25,000 devices is about $4500."
"The licensing cost is yearly and it's $5,000 to $8,000, I think."
