We performed a comparison between SolarWinds NPM 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."
"Can easily be interconnected with other management systems."
"It combines and presents information from many different sources, giving a corporate-wide vision on a single pane of glass."
"Network performance is the main issue clients are facing. SolarWinds checks if a node is down, and we can set thresholds for performance metrics. For example, we set it up to get an alert automatically if a value is over 80 percent. It has a full dashboard that covers CP, hard disk, and node monitoring."
"Their support team is efficient, and it is easy to set up."
"The other valuable system is the DSS (decision support system). If there's a fault in the network, SolarWinds is basically capable of rectifying and resolving that problem on its own without any intervention from an IP assistant or administrator."
"The nice thing about SolarWinds is that it's kind of all-in-one. I can manage the status of my networking devices, whether they are up or down, I can see how much traffic is going across an interface, and I can run a report that tells me exactly what that traffic is."
"This has helped us to monitor the availability of our routers, switches, servers, and virtual environments."
"It gives us a map of the network setup and one console to see the entire network."
"Being able to look back historically at the uptime and downtime is invaluable."
"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."
"The most valuable features are scalability and reliability."
"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."
"If somebody is complaining about slow networking then this solution allows us to see various ports to find out whether they are being overloaded."
"We are now able to easily track where problems are with bandwidth and port errors, rather than having to do a lot of diagnostics."
"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."
"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."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"If they could combine everything into one product, that would be very helpful."
"The product is scalable, but at a cost. Extra modules have to be purchased for each extra server. The initial set up isn't complex, but will require someone who is experienced with the network monitoring system"
"This product could improve by adding cloud monitoring. I want SolarWinds NPM to do much more integration, and have more involvement in cloud monitoring, like AWS or Google, or Azure. I feel like it requires lots of improvement for cloud monitoring in NPM."
"I think Solar Winds NPM needs to create a profile with documentation responsibility."
"We decided that we were no longer going to trust that their products have not been capitalized."
"It would be nice if SolarWinds added some technical protocols like Modbus. The market needs a simple solution for monitoring a technical device."
"Having more technical and support resources available in Saudi Arabia would be helpful."
"The interface could be made more user-friendly."
"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."
"The user interface needs to be made more intuitive."
"It would be very nice to have the Cisco ACI option included in the regular license."
"Maybe they could provide a little bit more flexibility on creating custom dashboards."
"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."
"If it had more detailed NetFlow information then it would be far better."
"I would like to see some layer two and layer three topology mappings, similar to what NNMi and SolarWinds presents."
"The user interface needs a great deal of improvement."
