We performed a comparison between Statseeker and WhatsUp Gold based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Zabbix, Datadog, Auvik and others in Network Monitoring Software."We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"We are now able to easily track where problems are with bandwidth and port errors, rather than having to do a lot of diagnostics."
"This solution helps in terms of troubleshooting, and you can do capacity planning with it."
"It is fairly simple and easy to use as an all-purpose network monitor."
"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."
"Being able to look back historically at the uptime and downtime is invaluable."
"Statseeker helps to quickly see if you have a spike or something going on. In the future, we need to get NetFlow in the tool so we can see what the IP is."
"It also allows us to predict the capacity on WAN circuits, as well as other circuits, to help us plan for upgrading."
"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."
"The interactive mapping interface for scrolling, zooming, and drilling down on an element to learn about a network issue is good. When we see a network there will sometimes be a spot that has one link. You can go into a particular part of the topology map, scroll in, and see exactly which module it is."
"The most important features of WhatsUp Gold are the server health and uptime it provides. Additionally, WhatsUp Gold is a Windows-based solution which is a benefit."
"The threshold alerting is the most valuable feature."
"It is stable."
"The product is reasonably priced."
"The solution effectively monitors network devices and servers."
"The documentation is very good."
"It is easy to access and discover devices, as well as monitor them automatically. The topology discover is also a useful feature."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"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)."
"It would be nice if I could easily select individual interfaces."
"It would be nice if they had twenty-four-hour technical support because we contact Australia and we have to wait for them to open."
"This solution would be improved with better automatic discovery for ping-only devices."
"I would like to see a friendlier user interface in the administration tool."
"I would like to see the solution incorporate diagnosis of the workstation."
"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."
"The user interface needs to be made more intuitive."
"Integrations with other devices. I want to have a product that has full integration with my active directory so I can track user activity. I want to track my complete user activity, so I'm looking for a product to implement in the near future, which will have full integration with my network and active directory users. It became very difficult to track user activity."
"WhatsUp Gold should work on real-time monitoring and configuration management. If they succeed in doing this, the solution will cover all the network troubleshooting aspects and will be a benefit."
"The licensing model could be improved. Right now, the levels are too far apart. This causes the solution to be more expensive than it needs to be."
"One of the biggest things that made us start to look at another product is we're not able to have an end to end monitoring from a user perspective throughout the system and back to the user. All the monitoring is from inside out, we need something that also can give us from outside in."
"I would like to see better integration with switches so that you can see what is connected to each port, what the traffic is, and have a network map automatically generated."
"The new release cadence needs to be improved. It takes a while for them to add new features and functionality. There should be a quicker turnaround with new versions."
"I might like to see a better interface in the future."
"Adding on services increases the cost and on the version we have there is no option for ATM monitoring."
