Valuable monitoring features enhance ecommerce experience while improvement needed in region-specific insights
As part of the improvement, there are certain categories, like for the China market, where we face issues. We are currently using an external tool, Splunk, for reporting. If we could receive similar data for the China market as we do for North America and Asia Pacific, this would be helpful.
Manjit Chakravarty - PeerSpot reviewer
Solutions Architect at a tech services company with 10,001+ employees
Good performance monitoring, stable, and scalable
The main challenge for this solution is its lack of availability for training and in-depth troubleshooting steps. I have worked as an operations engineer, implementation engineer, and architect in India. However, the solution is not readily available to every customer. For example, if a company purchases a license and implements the solution, the BAU operation team may be unfamiliar with the product. The solution provides some free training and videos on its website, but it could improve its training and support for customers who purchase a license. Additionally, I have found it difficult to get support for production-related issues. The solution could improve its response time for these issues.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Catchpoint provides a great amount of information."
"Catchpoint's customer service and support are valuable."
"The solution offers three different ways of slicing data to look for abnormalities."
"The drill-down feature of this product was very good. It allowed us to identify the exact page or area of the site that was causing our customers an issue."
"One of the features, the scatter plot, is very useful. It shows red dots wherever there are issues."
"The best feature in Catchpoint is the alert or the notification my company gets frequently, in particular, every five minutes. It's the notification you get whenever a respective market has an issue. There's also a dashboard in Catchpoint that shows the markets you support, so all the markets will be highlighted graphically in the dashboard whenever there's downtime that could affect you. If there's no issue for a specific market, it will be in green, so in this way, anybody would be able to understand which market has issues and which market has no issues through Catchpoint. The tool is very useful for monitoring activities."
"Catchpoint has everything you could want in a synthetic tool, and many things that you didn't know you wanted but you are ecstatic to have."
"The product's most valuable feature is the ability to identify and troubleshoot network issues."
"Performance monitoring is a valuable feature."
"There are a lot of customization options, such as creating your own tables and more. You have the option to make whatever you like and see whatever you want."
"Stratusphere is a highly scalable solution appropriate for small businesses and large organizations."
"I like Stratusphere's login metrics. It lets you drill down to exactly what you want to see."
 

Cons

"The old user version was better, it was more user-friendly."
"There's still too much manual involvement in getting customized test configurations out there. It's good, but it still takes a lot of effort. In other words, it's when you need to configure it to collect a specific variable and that kind of thing."
"Currently, Catchpoint is migrating to a new user interface. My colleagues and I feel that the old user version was better, it was more user-friendly."
"Catchpoint can be improved by focusing solely on network monitoring."
"There's still too much manual involvement in getting customized test configurations out there. It's good, but it still takes a lot of effort."
"There are essentially a lot of quotas. Nobody wants to sit and manually create monitors for someone who uses synthetic monitoring."
"We would like the script creation feature of this solution to be improved, as it currently requires a complicated manual process to update the scripts."
"We would like the script creation feature of this solution to be improved, as it currently requires a complicated manual process to update the scripts."
"The dashboard is pretty lackluster compared to its competitors."
"The time taken by the solution for the data to load should be improved. It was pretty high in some instances. The latency for some stuff to load up was pretty high."
"The dashboard is pretty lackluster compared to its competitors. They need to look at the competition and adopt some of those features. Liquidware could make the dashboarding more user-friendly and integrate scripting into the product."
"The main challenge for this solution is its lack of availability for training and in-depth troubleshooting steps."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price and licensing are very, very high. They have to come down on the pricing to match with the industry standard."
"The solution's pricing varies based on services and licensing models."
"The pricing is based on consumption and works on a point scale. For example, let's say I want to look at www.google.com, and I'm going to test it to see if it's there. It will bring back all this data that tells me how long it took to connect and how long it took to get the first byte. It will list all the resources on the page, showing that they all work and there are no broken links. It brings that data back. That test has an assigned point value depending on what you decide to extract from that test. If all I do is check to see whether it's available, it might be one point. I don't know the exact point values off-hand. This is just an example."
"In terms of licensing fees, I believe they were slightly higher."
"The solution's pricing is comparable to the last tool we were using."
"The price varies depending on our model type and the number of users or devices."
"The license is based on the number of users. I don't know the current prices, but it's around four euros per user monthly. My customers consider it expensive."
