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."
"The product’s stability and robustness are valuable."
"It does correlation so instead of producing 20 alarms if a site goes down, it only creates one."
"The monitoring just comes to us: "Oh, there's something wrong with that machine." It tells us. There are some 50,000 machines or so, all doing different things. And if they go down we hear about it."
"We can plan changes and replacement of end-of-life products in our environment very well because it's very accurate."
"Stability has been good. We really have not had any issues."
"The most valuable feature is the auto-discovery, which is nice because you don't have to do anything to add a new component."
"It helps our NetOps group actually handle alarms in a way that lets them see the bigger picture of those alarms, and how they might affect our services. It helps us communicate information about the network state better to services that might be impacted by a specific network condition."
"We were able to standardize the internal processes across all internal departments, resulting in almost an elimination of non-standard process flows through our organization."
"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."
"Device grouping is very easy, and you can discover thousands of devices in a few minutes."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the simplicity of adding new devices into it."
"It catches frequent flapping of the network and provides detailed reports of outages."
"This solution provides us with a quicker response in troubleshooting."
"Being able to look back historically at the uptime and downtime is invaluable."
"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."
"Whether it is a down network switch or a down router, we can get back online faster for the customers."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"A better integration with the UIM, as far as being able to do root cause analysis and that type of analytics."
"There should be better integration with other Broadcom products, like network performance manager. Currently, for every part of a product, you need a separate server environment. You have something for Spectrum, you have something for network performance, and you have something for NetFlow. There are a lot of islands and server farms with different technologies. They should be redeveloped to get one platform for all."
"If they could interact with the MIBs of vendors better, and have a lot more pre-loaded ones, that would be amazing for us right now."
"It needs better integration with other CA products."
"There should be a facility to integrate with other monitoring applications that are currently running in the environment."
"We have a lot of different monitoring tools in the background, so orchestration has been a little bit of a challenge."
"We have had some issues with the spec server and the high availability replication of data. It fails over well, but it does not come back very well. We get duplicated events."
"The platform is complicated to use."
"The interface could be more user-friendly and it would be nice if there were enhanced options for reporting."
"It would be nice if I could easily select individual interfaces."
"The inclusion of configuration management features and SIP links would improve this solution."
"I would like to see a friendlier user interface in the administration tool."
"Technical support for this solution is bad, as is everything with Cisco support."
"It may be helpful to have more options in the alerting section."
"More private MIB object support, such as WAN optimisation performance and wireless, would be helpful."
"I would like to have soft alarming. If an inner-base all of a sudden triggers a threshold, we have to rely on a lot of other tools and then we go into Statseeker to verify it. If Statseeker would confirm it preemptively and trigger it into our network panel, that would be nice."
