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.

Enables seamless global client monitoring with reliable remote connectivity
I use the solution to provide a perfect environment for remote connectivity with my clients. Many tools that I require for system maintenance are included. I can easily monitor all of my clients throughout the world I did not give much thought to it, however, improvements could be made to Zabbix.…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable features are scalability and reliability."
"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."
"We were having some issues with a certain site, and it was only Statseeker that showed us what the problem was."
"Being able to look back historically at the uptime and downtime is invaluable."
"This solution has helped us to proactively identify issues and push some of those fixes down to tier one."
"The most valuable feature is the dashboard, where you have everything right there on the screen."
"It's one of the best products available."
"I really enjoy network traffic triggers that allow us to check traffic threshold from ISP."
"The most valuable feature is the monitoring of virtual machines."
"The most valuable feature is service assurance."
"The solution allows for good integration with other products."
"The solution allows you to configure and customize how you want to collect information from servers or other systems."
"We use Zabbix to monitor our organization's IT infrastructure and workstations. We don't use Microsoft Intune since it's expensive. The tool's real-time alerting system has proved crucial for us, particularly when a new device joins a network that is not one of our own devices. It notifies us about the presence of this new device, allowing us to investigate further. Additionally, it alerts us about disk usage, memory usage, and the software installed on the machine."
"The most valuable feature is network traffic monitoring."
 

Cons

"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."
"Technical support for this solution is bad, as is everything with Cisco support."
"More private MIB object support, such as WAN optimisation performance and wireless, would be helpful."
"We haven't seen an ROI."
"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."
"It would be nice if I could easily select individual interfaces."
"It could use more features on Netflow analyser, such as time series graphs and a single network export UDP port and UDP forwarding."
"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."
"One of the things we don't like is that Zabbix has a license structure with a price that is high compared to the competition. It's very high, for example, compared to something like Microsoft Teams."
"I would like to see a more flexible mobile client, and better HA out of the box."
"Zabbix does not draw automatic mapping of the network, this is something they should add in the future. There is a lot of effort that is involved in tailoring some of the settings which could be made easier."
"The product delivers false positives during reporting because of flapping. Other reasonably priced alternatives may have better performance."
"We had some scalability issues with a large number of nodes."
"Even though it’s such a powerful monitoring system, it would be more helpful if it had a flexible UI."
"The user interface could be better."
"I would like for this solution to be more cloud-friendly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This tool would probably be priced well if it had deeper NetFlow capabilities, but for our use case, in particular, we're only recovering ports after ninety days and looking at circuit congestion, it's pretty pricey."
"Statseeker is pretty cheap."
"We pay somewhere between $5,000 and $8,000 yearly in licensing fees."
"Compared to other solutions such as Zabbix and AKiPS, this solution is very well priced."
"It's probably $5K a year for the license."
"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."
"We pay a yearly maintenance fee of approximately $40,000 USD."
"We paid $5,000 to $10,000 a year in maintenance."
"My manager is very happy because it doesn't cost anything."
"It is freeware. We still use the free version of Zabbix."
"There is no license but we need to pay for support."
"The tool's licensing costs are yearly."
"It is worth every cent to pay or even study to do your own installation."
"This is an open-source solution that can be used free of charge."
"It's an open-source solution that can be used free of charge."
"The solution is free to use but they offer support as a paid service. If you can go read the manuals and do the fine-tuning based on your needs, you do not need to pay anything and you will have a full solution."
