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

"It catches frequent flapping of the network and provides detailed reports of outages."
"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 were having some issues with a certain site, and it was only Statseeker that showed us what the problem was."
"If you need a product that's able to monitor all the ports in your environment or all the ports that you want, this is a great product to use. Statseeker is quite flexible in tailoring the product, spending time tailoring the product with you. It's fairly low maintenance. It's quite quick."
"Being able to look back historically at the uptime and downtime is invaluable."
"Device grouping is very easy, and you can discover thousands of devices in a few minutes."
"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."
"If somebody is complaining about slow networking then this solution allows us to see various ports to find out whether they are being overloaded."
"It meets my organizational needs. It's pretty easy to use."
"The most valuable function for me is the auto-discovery of interfaces in devices. When you integrate devices into the tool, it automatically finds the interfaces, which is very helpful for my job. Integration and configuration run smoothly in my experience with Juniper and Aruba devices."
"Every new asset placed in the environment can be automatically detected, predicting human failures."
"The flexible licensing model is one of the solution's most valuable aspects. It really allows for great flexibility for companies."
"It's a flexible solution."
"SNMP monitoring, source discovery, and alert triggering are most valuable."
"Zabbix is quite stable once it is set up. We haven't had any post-setup issues."
"It's a very reliable platform and we've never had any issues regarding the scalability or the stability of Zabbix."
 

Cons

"Technical support for this solution is bad, as is everything with Cisco support."
"I would like to see a friendlier user interface in the administration tool."
"It may be helpful to have more options in the alerting section."
"If it had more detailed NetFlow information then it would be far better."
"Maybe they could provide a little bit more flexibility on creating custom dashboards."
"It would be nice if I could easily select individual interfaces."
"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."
"It doesn't do absolutely everything and it will require some additional software or hardware support to be a complete single solution."
"Zabbix can use better documentation and support for troubleshooting."
"The documentation gets a bit messy between versions and is not too detailed, which is a bit painful for first-timers, especially when they run into issues."
"Zabbix technical support is sold separately."
"The documentation could be improved."
"I think the reporting part of Zabbix can be improved in terms of more user-friendly graphics to display the collected data. Many simple users who don't know how to use Zabbix properly might get confused by the reporting, although at the same time it is very versatile for my company."
"The reporting is lacking because this is an open-source tool, and nowadays, management's expectation is that the reports should be of high quality and every information should be presented in a concise manner."
"Implementation is always tailored to the customer and the kind of information we need from the client to carry it out can make them very uncomfortable. Sometimes the clients are not ready to share it."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"We have permanent licenses so there's really no cost, other than ongoing maintenance. When I think about it, that's running us about $20,000 a year."
"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."
"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."
"When it came to selecting this solution, it came down to cost."
"The yearly cost varies as per the number of devices being monitored. The cost for 25,000 devices is about $4500."
"It is worth every cent to pay or even study to do your own installation."
"It is open source. If you want to have a subscription or official support, you can pay for it. They have different plans, which are not that expensive. The plans are based on per monitoring server, not per monitored equipment. So, it is not at all expensive, and you can also live without the support if you want a cheaper option."
"My manager is very happy because it doesn't cost anything."
"There is a license required for this solution and we pay annually for our license."
"We use the open-source version of Zabbix."
"Zabbix is a free solution but the support contact costs money."
"This solution is completely open-source, so it is quite affordable."
"The solution is free. However, many open-sourced tools start out free but eventually start charging."
