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.
Edmar Silva - PeerSpot reviewer
Excellent monitoring and troubleshooting capabilities while identifying exact issue locations
When I first started using ThousandEyes, I found it challenging to extract useful information due to the numerous options available. I needed some training to effectively troubleshoot. More detailed documentation explaining the metrics and the testing mechanisms would be helpful. The information is there, but understanding exactly what ThousandEyes is testing to make its conclusions can be obscure.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"It is fairly simple and easy to use as an all-purpose network monitor."
"This solution allowed us to track down trouble users."
"We are now able to easily track where problems are with bandwidth and port errors, rather than having to do a lot of diagnostics."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the simplicity of adding new devices into it."
"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."
"This solution has helped us to proactively identify issues and push some of those fixes down to tier one."
"Summary Reports provide a quick way to identify where potential issues are. Drill-downs provide more granular details very quickly."
"The installation process is not hard at all."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution was the ability to see how the connection quality is between the sites and get an alert if it was turning bad."
"Overall, I would rate ThousandEyes nine out of ten."
"The authentication overall - including to the VPN and LAN - is excellent."
"From our perspective, ThousandEyes stands out as an invaluable tool because of its deep and extensive capabilities."
"It's fairly easy to set up."
"The most valuable feature of ThousandEyes is user-friendliness. It has been essential for us to have a solution that is easy to use."
"ThousandEyes gives companies better visibility."
 

Cons

"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."
"It could use more features on Netflow analyser, such as time series graphs and a single network export UDP port and UDP forwarding."
"The interface could be more user-friendly and it would be nice if there were enhanced options for reporting."
"I would like to see fully automatic updates so that our version is always current."
"It doesn't do absolutely everything and it will require some additional software or hardware support to be a complete single solution."
"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."
"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."
"Presently, it lacks the ability to integrate with other Cisco products."
"ThousandEyes should expand its application monitoring to monitor some communication applications."
"It's an expensive solution."
"They only offer synthetic requests."
"Once I fully use the tool 100%, I'm sure I would have something to critique, however, for now, I'm happy with it."
"More detailed documentation explaining the metrics and the testing mechanisms would be helpful."
"I feel it needs more holistic integration. It needs more improvement."
"It might be practical to extend monitoring capabilities to include network devices"
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The yearly cost varies as per the number of devices being monitored. The cost for 25,000 devices is about $4500."
"We pay a yearly maintenance fee of approximately $40,000 USD."
"It would definitely be a yearly licensing cost, but I don't know what it is."
"Compared to other solutions such as Zabbix and AKiPS, this solution is very well priced."
"Pricing is reasonable but licensing should unlimited."
"We paid $5,000 to $10,000 a year in maintenance."
"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."
"The licensing cost is yearly and it's $5,000 to $8,000, I think."
"The solution is cheap."
"The solution's pricing is cheap; I rate it a five out of ten."
"The solution costs several thousand dollars per year."
"In our company, we incur a yearly expense in our company for the licensing part. I rate the solution's pricing a seven out of ten since it is expensive."
"It is a quite expensive solution."
