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

"I like this product and would recommend it to a colleague at another company."
"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."
"The solution reduces the complexity of our network monitoring because it can make my engineers do their jobs faster."
"This solution helps in terms of troubleshooting, and you can do capacity planning with it."
"The most valuable feature is alerting."
"This solution allowed us to track down trouble users."
"The product simplifies monitoring by providing real-time alerts through a GUI dashboard, email and texts."
"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."
"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 support from ThousandEyes has been the best I have had."
"One feature I liked is end-user monitoring."
"The solution's most valuable feature is network security."
"The solution's most valuable feature is the path analyzer, which identifies the node causing the errors."
"For me, all the features are great and make ThousandEyes stand out among other observability products."
"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."
 

Cons

"That user interface for selecting things needs to be a little more intuitive."
"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 could use more features on Netflow analyser, such as time series graphs and a single network export UDP port and UDP forwarding."
"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."
"We haven't seen an ROI."
"Technical support for this solution is bad, as is everything with Cisco support."
"The inclusion of configuration management features and SIP links would improve this solution."
"The solution's network and reporting could be improved."
"The tool does not provide features for application-level monitoring."
"More detailed documentation explaining the metrics and the testing mechanisms would be helpful."
"ThousandEyes can be improved by making the installation procedure less time-consuming and enhancing the interface to be more user-friendly."
"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."
"It might be practical to extend monitoring capabilities to include network devices"
"Presently, it lacks the ability to integrate with other Cisco products."
"They only offer synthetic requests, so they should create an agent for users that can track your request."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We paid $5,000 to $10,000 a year in maintenance."
"The licensing cost is yearly and it's $5,000 to $8,000, I think."
"The yearly cost varies as per the number of devices being monitored. The cost for 25,000 devices is about $4500."
"Pricing is reasonable but licensing should unlimited."
"Compared to other solutions such as Zabbix and AKiPS, this solution is very well priced."
"Statseeker is pretty cheap."
"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 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 solution's pricing is cheap; I rate it a five out of ten."
"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."
"The solution costs several thousand dollars per year."
"The solution is cheap."
