We performed a comparison between NETSCOUT nGeniusONE and Statseeker based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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 packet capture is the most valuable feature for us. It gathers data from the device. In case somebody has a problem, I can go back X amount of time - days, hours - and get the data to do real troubleshooting."
"The ability of the dashboards is useful for discover, mapping and understanding of application behaviour."
"The most valuable feature is visibility."
"It gives me the MOS, latency, and jitter."
"Aside from having the logs that are just on the firewall, we're able to get the traffic as it's going in between, throughout our network. It isolates end sources that are having issues, where we don't have any other tools that would be able to go down to an end-user's computer to find out what's going on."
"The details it provides are among the most valuable features; the ability to drill down and get to the packet level."
"Packet decode and bandwidth analysis reports are the two most valuable features."
"Deep packet inspection is probably the strongest feature."
"Summary Reports provide a quick way to identify where potential issues are. Drill-downs provide more granular details very quickly."
"Grouping, Threshold/alerts, Netflow analyser, Private MIB object support are most valuable as they can provide more visibility into network performance, and for network troubleshooting."
"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 the dashboard, where you have everything right there on the screen."
"We were having some issues with a certain site, and it was only Statseeker that showed us what the problem was."
"If somebody is complaining about slow networking then this solution allows us to see various ports to find out whether they are being overloaded."
"Whether it is a down network switch or a down router, we can get back online faster for the customers."
"The monitoring provided by this solution helps us to track down and solve issues."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The stability is only fair. It goes down a lot."
"We see it overload once in a while. It doesn't have built-in protection. Therefore, once it gets too much data, it tends to crash. Then, we have to recover it."
"While it is good, the single pane of glass view is too high level. It is better for management or someone doing sanity checks. A lot of times, I need to go deeper into the additional screens to get what I want out of it."
"On a network the size of ours, the loading times seem a little extensive, 20 or 30 seconds to load up some graphs."
"I would love to have them reassemble fragmented packets. That would be a very big plus in my book."
"NG1 has been stable for a while in our environment - at least we have what we needed. But with nBA, there's a lot of room for improvement."
"The product is a little complicated."
"Our biggest area of concern right now, supporting the applications, is that while NETSCOUT does a good job of monitoring the network and the applications, we need more visibility into system health and performance monitoring."
"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."
"With Statseeker I'd like to see some flow, i.e. what's tuning-up the network. The trend I like is managing the traffic load by going to the cloud."
"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."
"I'd say the interface could improve a little bit. I find with new users, I tend to have to spend a bit of time walking them through how to use the interface. It could be a little more user friendly."
"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)."
"This solution would be improved with better automatic discovery for ping-only devices."
"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 doesn't do absolutely everything and it will require some additional software or hardware support to be a complete single solution."
