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.

Proactive monitoring has transformed digital experience and now optimizes application delivery
With ThousandEyes, there are some configuration and metric screens that are not entirely intuitive with ThousandEyes, so they can certainly improve in terms of the usability of certain metric screens. ThousandEyes can also offer deeper traffic insights relative to specific applications, so detailed analytics on application-level traffic would help in better understanding and managing our network resources effectively. I would say that ThousandEyes can also, in terms of providing more extensibility with other observability tools, offer more out-of-the-box integrations with other observability tools so that ThousandEyes can serve as that single source of truth, so that we don't necessarily need to go to other tools to be able to be that one-source dashboard. I think there's a lot that ThousandEyes can continue to improve on there. The issues that I've talked about, including extensibility with other platforms and the improvement of accessing specific metric screens in order to be able to provide for fuller access and more detailed access to network-level metrics would make the platform feel less complicated to navigate. It wouldn't require as many manual integration inputs.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Support is fantastic and Statseeker are always looking to improve."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the simplicity of adding new devices into it."
"Customer service is excellent, with a brilliant support team that is always responsive and always positive."
"It is fairly simple and easy to use as an all-purpose network monitor."
"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."
"Statseeker is very fast and fantastic in terms of granularity of network visibility, letting us get down to per-minute statistics that are really useful for diagnosing problems and troubleshooting traffic hop by hop."
"This solution helps us to track down problems faster; whether it is a down network switch or a down router, we can get back online faster for the customers."
"If somebody is complaining about slow networking then this solution allows us to see various ports to find out whether they are being overloaded."
"The support from ThousandEyes has been the best I have had."
"The tool's most valuable feature is its scalability. It is a good tool for network admins."
"The historical timeline feature is what I appreciate most about ThousandEyes because when people report that something occurs at a specific time of day, I can set up a test and capture the issue in action."
"We have only had good experiences with support, as they are helpful and responsive, and we are quite happy with the level of attention we get when we have issues."
"The advice I would give to those looking into using ThousandEyes is about the possibilities it offers to the operations teams, as ThousandEyes is an extremely powerful solution that makes operations able to detect issues effectively."
"The most valuable features of ThousandEyes are the full monitoring capabilities and the ability to identify the exact location of problems in the path between the application and the end-user."
"Overall, I would rate ThousandEyes nine out of ten."
"From our perspective, ThousandEyes stands out as an invaluable tool because of its deep and extensive capabilities."
 

Cons

"However, the bells and whistles that other vendors have will need to be provided or enhanced in Statseeker in order for it to compete."
"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."
"It would be nice if I could easily select individual interfaces."
"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."
"I would like to see a friendlier user interface in the administration tool."
"If it had more detailed NetFlow information then it would be far better."
"It doesn't do absolutely everything and it will require some additional software or hardware support to be a complete single solution."
"I would like to see some layer two and layer three topology mappings, similar to what NNMi and SolarWinds presents."
"I chose eight out of ten because of the lack of objective performance data."
"We can show the traffic path in some cases, but it's almost impossible to do so in cloud networks like CDN, Akamai, or Microsoft."
"They only offer synthetic requests."
"ThousandEyes definitely has differentiators versus the peers in the space, as there are other tools that are a bit more user-friendly to configure, especially around enterprise agents; for example, when upgrades are required, it sometimes needs a complete de-installation and re-installation of a newer version, which leads to a bit of administrative overhead from time to time, but overall, it has been an excellent product."
"An area where ThousandEyes can be improved is in providing more in-depth packet analysis; we've found instances where ThousandEyes indicates everything is okay, but it's actually not."
"They only offer synthetic requests, so they should create an agent for users that can track your request."
"Cisco is the standard for anyone wanting something good, the problem with it is the cost and that means that it's not accessible to many smaller companies."
"Regarding the user interface, I appreciate dropdowns, but I prefer a guided experience where the interface explains itself instead of requiring extensive searching to reach a point."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The yearly cost varies as per the number of devices being monitored. The cost for 25,000 devices is about $4500."
"It would definitely be a yearly licensing cost, but I don't know what it is."
"When it came to selecting this solution, it came down to cost."
"Compared to other solutions such as Zabbix and AKiPS, this solution is very well priced."
"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 paid $5,000 to $10,000 a year in maintenance."
"Statseeker is pretty cheap."
"It is a quite expensive solution."
"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."
"The solution is cheap."
"The solution costs several thousand dollars per year."
"The solution's pricing is cheap; I rate it a five out of ten."
