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.

Helps reduce response time but has room to improve customization complexity
We are not working on simple standalone solutions like Kaspersky DDoS Protection or Hybrid Cloud Security. Once you understand Zabbix, then it is easy to customize those web pages and graphs for our customer use. It is fully automated to your requirements. Zabbix is working fine with no issues, and I am satisfied with it. We have combined Zabbix and SolarWinds. The integration works fine, and it is easy to integrate Zabbix with the IT environment. We were trying to purchase MDR (Managed Detection and Response), but we are not working on that. I don't have real experience with MDR. We are using Falcon software for that. We are working with Falcon Complete, not with Sandbox. We are not using Kaspersky for business or cloud protection. For that, we are using Zabbix CrowdStrike Falcon Complete solution. I have given this review an overall rating of 8.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is very scalable, stable, easy to use and manage."
"This solution is used by our network operations center to identify down interfaces and predict the capacity on WAN circuits, as well as other circuits, to help us plan for upgrading."
"Statseeker reduces the complexity of your network monitoring."
"This solution allowed us to track down trouble users."
"It is fairly simple and easy to use as an all-purpose network monitor."
"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."
"We have used this product since the organization was established and it has been an integral part of our business as usual functions and I would suggest that if we stopped using it then this would have a negative impact on our operations."
"The stability of this solution is great compared to other solutions, such as SolarWinds, and Statseeker is one step further."
"It's the best solution. Great. I would rate the overall solution ten out of ten."
"Health and communication links availability."
"If you’re into the Open Source and freedom principles, don’t mind getting your hands dirty, and have the technical skills, Zabbix is a good choice."
"The most valuable aspect of this solution is the fact that it is enterprise-level, scalable, and free."
"The template system in Zabbix is very beneficial as it saves time in configuration."
"There are lots of great features and functionality within the solution."
"What we find the most valuable about Zabbix is that it is open source and there are no licensing costs."
"There are a few problems but if they fix them, then Zabbix is a very good tool compared to others."
 

Cons

"The inclusion of configuration management features and SIP links would improve this solution."
"If it's twice as much, however, then it's already getting a little expensive."
"If it had more detailed NetFlow information then it would be far better."
"Detailed data can be hard to extract in CSV form. Sometimes, being able to dump down raw data would be good so various time periods across a longer period could be analysed. At present, data can be presented within Statseeker, but there is lots of "white space" between data points."
"It would be very nice to have the Cisco ACI option included in the regular license."
"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 could use more features on Netflow analyser, such as time series graphs and a single network export UDP port and UDP forwarding."
"It could use more features on Netflow analyser, such as time series graphs and a single network export UDP port and UDP forwarding."
"In the area of the solution where you write the command, it is not very user-friendly and could be improved."
"In an upcoming release, there should be automated reports which we are currently doing manually. For example, if we collect a report file every day and want to send it to a moderator for review. We are expecting this feature to come out soon but it would be valuable to have now."
"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."
"Zabbix isn't very good at automation just yet."
"I really do not like this solution, almost all of its features are awful."
"I am having difficulties connecting it to Grafana, as well as some of the other plugins like Kibana."
"The only issue I can note is that it's Linux-based, and Linux documentation is not the best."
"It's OK for me as is, but some frontend improvements would be nice."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"When it came to selecting this solution, it came down to cost."
"Statseeker is pretty cheap."
"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."
"We pay somewhere between $5,000 and $8,000 yearly in licensing fees."
"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."
"It would definitely be a yearly licensing cost, but I don't know what it is."
"We paid $5,000 to $10,000 a year in maintenance."
"This solution is completely open-source, so it is quite affordable."
"My manager is very happy because it doesn't cost anything."
"I was using the free, Community Edition."
"It is a true open-source solution, so there are no licensing costs."
"For pricing, it's free. We don't pay anything for it. They open-source the code, and people pay for support."
"The tool's licensing costs are yearly."
"We were searching for an open source solution and Zabbix fit the bill because it is free and open source under the GPL license."
"We’re using the free version, which covers all our current needs."
