Statseeker Valuable Features

JH
Network Engineer at West Virginia Department of Education

The most valuable feature of this solution is that it is simple. I can modify the dashboard to show whatever I want to see. I could have a top list of devices with higher latency or things like that. So simplicity is the most valuable feature. I leave it up on one monitor full time in my office.

IT Admin with 1,001-5,000 employees

I work in a distributed simulation. It's a much smaller network and it is a closed one. It's classified and it's behind encryption devices. You can't actually get there from the outside.

We had a unique situation here. We are using this solution with distributed simulation for military purposes. Packet loss is equated with a lack of credibility in your simulation. You basically can't trust the data if you lose packets.

After a lot of testing and verification, we decided that we cannot afford more than 1% packet loss. You can't say zero, because zero isn't possible to achieve. We tested and we said that if 1% packet loss is all we have, then that's what we can live with.

Retaining all data is the most valuable feature. Statseeker can generate reports or dashboards providing an overview of network interfaces. For instance, it can identify the most utilized interfaces across the network, aiding in robust network management. Additionally, it offers reports on interfaces experiencing issues such as CRCs, enabling troubleshooting to address potential network disruptions.

The most valuable feature is the alerts that happen when something goes offline, such as a network switch, router, or wireless controller. We also get alerts for temperature issues and IDFs.

The most valuable feature to me is that the data is there and you can easily get to it. I don't have to worry about a whole lot of maintenance for the product, it just seems to always work.

I'm very satisfied with the solution's granularity in terms of network visibility. As far as granularity, it's the best out there.

Senior Network Engineer at Unum Group

Statseeker is quick and very simple to use. We want to keep it like that. It has to be simple.

The solution has affected our workload with all our network admin teams. They don't use this tool as much as I probably would like them to use it for initial troubleshooting. 

Statseeker helps to quickly see if you have a spike or something going on. In the future, we need to get NetFlow in the tool so we can see what the IP is.

This solution hasn't affected our network availability. It's helped because we can see when things go down or when things come up. If we have a circuit maxed out, we can reroute the traffic, and do different things like that.

For a reduced cost, it is not possible because our network is so big and part interface. Maybe if we got a single router in the field office it would reduce the cost. 

It's probably not a model we are going to go with because we like to have dual connectivity, dual routers, and dual switches set up.

The most important feature for us is how fast this solution is, as well as the granularity that you can get to, such as per-minute statistics. These are really useful for us.

This solution is fantastic in terms of granularity of network visibility. We also have SolarWinds Orion in our environment. Statseeker closed it away, in terms of performance and how granular you can get with the statistics.

The most valuable feature is the ping going out every second, which gives us almost instantaneous alerting.

The user interface allows us to sort according to the source of network packets, which helps us to quickly narrow down problems.

The most valuable features are the quick retrieval of performance data, and its ability to poll tens of thousands of interfaces at short intervals.

The single pane of glass for fault and performance data is very helpful.

Senior IT Director at Inglis foundation

I find the speed of notification most valuable with using Statseeker. It's very quick with its notifications and the history is easily accessible. The history of outages, how long something's been down, how long something's been up. It has all that information there for us.

Now we know when things go down before we are called and told that something's not working. It allows us to fix something before our customer notices it's broken.

Senior Network Engineer at a financial services firm with 1,001-5,000 employees

My favorite feature is Traffic Analyzer (NetFlow). I use this part of the tool nearly every day to validate what traffic (source and destination) is communicating, how much bandwidth they are consuming and what protocols they are using. It assists in troubleshooting immensely. We use the alerting features to notify of performance issues, device outages, and firewall failover situations. We have used the historical data tool many times to review historical performance. Since it keeps all historical data, we can get pretty much everything we need.

CS
Network Analyst at a leisure / travel company with 1,001-5,000 employees

The most valuable feature is the recovery of the unused data ports. We're able to recover more expensive ports on our access line devices. For example, we can run a report that dynamically pulls out all of the ports that haven't been used in ninety days. We can then recover those for new and upcoming projects. We don't have to buy additional hardware in order to expand. There are a few other companies that do this, but Statseeker and AKIPS are probably the two that do it the best.

This tool is fairly easy to use.

Network visibility is fantastic. Statseeker has worked out really well for us.

Being able to look back historically at the uptime and downtime is invaluable.

I love the solution's granularity. It's great.

I believe that Statseeker's support for both traditional and SDN reduces costs. I think it might reduce costs by 75%.

CJ
Network Tools Specialist at a comms service provider with 1,001-5,000 employees

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. I find that useful in my role.

Network Engineer at a healthcare company with 10,001+ employees

The features that we use are as follows:

  • The out of the box graphs are excellent to look at trends very quickly going back a few days to a year, this saves a lot of time when carrying out IM.
  • The ability to change interface speeds so that some higher level of granularity can be seen.
  • We consistently use the fast graphing function when conducting IM. It is really easy and intuitive to use so even non technical people can use it with little or no training.

This solution is very user-friendly.

Building a server is very easy and in the case where it crashes, it can be made ready in a couple of minutes. Restoring data is very fast and simple.

I very much like the outages and statistics report, as it is helping to be proactive.

SL
Network Analayst
  • Grouping
  • Threshold/alerts
  • Netflow analyser
  • Private MIB object support

These are most valuable as they can provide more visibility into network performance, and for network troubleshooting.

Also, the easy-to-use Reporting feature is so important for presenting network performance to clients and business managers.

Statseeker presents a comprehensive view on a dashboard of how the network is performing. It collects three layers (physical, data link, and network) of data from network devices. This data is processed to produce informative and easy-to-read reports.
