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."
"Our customer was happiest with the price of this product."
"The most valuable feature is the deployment because it's very easy to deploy real flow through the network."
"The ease of setup is the most valuable aspect of this solution. It's easy to set up and run tests."
"It empowers network administrators to access specialized and detailed views for specific tests, including video streaming and performance related to specific applications like video games."
"It is fairly simple and easy to use as an all-purpose network monitor."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the simplicity of adding new devices into it."
"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."
"We're able to recover more expensive ports on our access line devices."
"The product simplifies monitoring by providing real-time alerts through a GUI dashboard, email and texts."
"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."
"It catches frequent flapping of the network and provides detailed reports of outages."
"The most valuable features are scalability and reliability."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"Improvements in network performance are essential."
"The customization of tests and even the results can be improved."
"You can't delete more than one thing at a time. It would be great to be able to highlight three out of five things and delete them, whether it's a test or an actual report."
"Ixia has one flaw, which is that they do not print the license code on the paper licenses that are shipped to the customers."
"I would like to see fully automatic updates so that our version is always current."
"I would like the ability to update the dashboard. I would also like the ability to access via an API. Then I could produce a dashboard that my C level can understand. This is just so they can go and refresh whenever they want to and see what things look like."
"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."
"Technical support for this solution is bad, as is everything with Cisco support."
"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."
"More private MIB object support, such as WAN optimisation performance and wireless, would be helpful."
"I would like to see some layer two and layer three topology mappings, similar to what NNMi and SolarWinds presents."
"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)."
