We considered SolarWinds, but my counterpart was familiar with this solution from a former job and brought it in.

We have looked at a couple of other solutions like Zabbix and AKiPS, and Statseeker has consistently underpriced everybody.

We have used SolarWinds and HP NNMi. We decided that Statseeker was by far the best solution.

SolarWinds was on my shortlist. I was almost in with them. I had done some free things using Splunk etc. Once I saw the demonstration in the Cisco lab, I knew this would be the easiest solution for me to deploy and use.

We compared SolarWinds, Icinga, Snort, and MRTG.

AKIPS offers pretty much an exact feature set to Statseeker but is significantly less expensive.

We did evaluate one or two other options, but we chose this solution because of the ease of use and deployment, as well as the simple interface.

SolarWinds and Ipswitch were on our shortlist before we chose Statseeker.

We evaluated ThousdandEyes and decided that it was not quite as mature as Statseeker, so we opted for this solution.

We also considered Splunk.

I worked with SolarWinds for ten years.

We didn't really have a short list. It was just one or two. I think the other company doesn't exist anymore. We chose Statseeker because of the ease use, fast deployments, and simple interface.

I came into the environment after it was already built. We did compare it against another product to see if the other product could take over from Statseeker, and we determined that that was not possible. We have that other product in our environment and it does other tasks that Statseeker can't do. So, when we evaluated another product against it, we found it wasn't up to what Statseeker could do.

I do know of one or two products out in the market that are targeting themselves at the same niche that Statseeker has. That being said, I have not really played around with Statseeker's competitors and played them off each other as of yet.

The next company on our shortlist was SolarWinds.

We evaluated StableNet from Infosim, and we went with them because they had the most functionality of all of the different products that we use.

As stated above, we concurrently use a number of tools and have looked at others but most have issues with licensing, scalability, complexity of setting it up, etc. We have found the Statseeker product to be very easy to set up, it runs and is easy to use so are very happy with it.

Other options are not so easy to use and manage. A single server handles more than 5000 nodes.

We evaluated SolarWinds and ManageEngine.

We evaluated PRTG by Paessler AG before settling on this solution. We have since adopted a new solution, although I do still use Statseeker.

We looked at several options including Voyance, Computer Associates eHealth, and SolarWinds. The Statseeker solution stood out because it was simple to use and easy to deploy.

We only evaluated Cisco and HP when researching this solution.
