Statseeker Initial Setup
JH
Jessie Hackney
Network Engineer at West Virginia Department of Education
I don't know the initial setup, but I do know about ongoing changes. We moved it to another physical server at one point and now it is virtualized. Those processes have been fairly easy. It is just a simple install and then we restore from a backup.
I was involved in the installation and it was straightforward. It was very easy to do compared with other installations I have performed.
Unfortunately, everybody wants to virtualize these days. At this point, we're not running virtualized, because it shouldn't be done. I'm opposed to virtualization for network stuff. Because of the nature of the network, you're sharing processing power and all of that stuff.
I can see that the trend is going to eventually push Statseeker into a virtualized solution. That's a bad development, but I can just see it's going to be more and more of an issue that will come up. I'm wondering how they are going to deal with it. I hope it stays the way it is.

I deployed Statseeker myself. It was a little complex. Someone was there to walk me through it. I would never have figured out how to do certain things if it wasn't for the person that was on the phone helping me. As long as they're providing that, then it's good.

Senior Network Engineer at a financial services firm with 1,001-5,000 employees
You install, add SNMP credentials, add devices and BAM. Done. Setting it up was easy, and, once you add a device, the data is there. No silly maps to play with and a simple dashboard were great. It also helped that they offer a full demo of the product. That allowed me to install the product and show management the capabilities. The week after I installed it, we used the tool to help identify an issue that we had been experiencing and it assisted greatly in resolving the issue.

It’s getting better, but it still requires some low-level Unix command line tweaking occasionally. I’ve seen two Statseeker techs work several hours to fix it.

I haven't had to set up the product myself. I've had to build a new server and migrate from the old server to the new server. If I was to treat that as an installation, it was relatively okay, apart from running into one or two technical issues which I had to troubleshoot and to fix. Once I got passed that technical issue, to actually install the product was relatively simple, and to get it up and running was relatively simple.
