Flexibility and detailed performance stats enable effective network monitoring
Spectrum is very good at monitoring all network faults and configurations. It enables me to take action based on network issues. The Performance Management provides detailed network performance stats, including CPU, memory, and interface bandwidth. Additionally, Spectrum is flexible and allows me to organize and treat devices uniquely without impacting other devices.

We can set up a dashboard to monitor the status of an entire site, which provides more insight into any issues across devices
One engineer is enough for the solution's maintenance. There has been a significant improvement in Statseeker in the last few versions. It includes a wallet map and features we plan to implement when deploying the latest or penultimate versions across all our sites. This will significantly assist in identifying sites surpassing thresholds or KPIs, making issue detection much more accessible. The threshold feature is handy for identifying delays and major outages. This graphical map enables us to quickly assess the scope of nationwide problems, allowing for swift action and efficient reporting to management and service providers. This tool facilitates monitoring by visualizing all network elements with their respective coordinates, highlighting any downtimes or issues through color-coded green for operational, orange for approaching thresholds, yellow for minor alarms, and red for critical issues. The tool is a monitoring tool that helps in identifying problems. It is necessary to have someone trained to set up the dashboards because they might require some programming or specific configuration skills. Once it's configured, it works well. It's not as straightforward as other tools where you plug in the device, and everything works. With Statseeker, you still need to put in some effort to set up your dashboard properly. It requires someone with good training and proficiency in setting up these dashboards. They can benefit the technical and operations teams, providing useful insights into the network and the executive management team to receive reports on the overall network health. Overall, I rate the solution a seven out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Considering all these factors, it's really a good and easy product for analyzing your network performance, health status, and the quality of services."
"It is very easy to add devices; just be aware that it requires SNMP to be enabled."
"The network teams have transitioned to becoming proactive in responding to network performance issues, rather than being just reactive to outages."
"My sales representative, I would not trade him in for the world. He has done a really good job. I am really happy with him.​"
"Since the implementation of the tool, it has cut down on probably 60% of our outages and letting us know what is going on."
"There is another component of the tool called Network Flow Analysis. It gives us the ability to troubleshoot issues which do not appear right away."
"We're able to present data from multiple back-end collection sources into a single dashboard for the users. So they don't have to go to multiple locations to get data about a particular item, or device."
"It has improved efficiency because now there is the one-stop shop where you can view all your data, instead of needing to click around in four different tools."
"Statseeker reduces the complexity of your network monitoring."
"The Statseeker polling engine is very efficient and it does not miss any outage."
"The most valuable feature is alerting."
"We're able to recover more expensive ports on our access line devices."
"This solution helps in terms of troubleshooting, and you can do capacity planning with it."
"We are now able to easily track where problems are with bandwidth and port errors, rather than having to do a lot of diagnostics."
"If you want something that is easy to use and catches the basics, especially for your first line people, then this is the product to go with."
"The product does what we need it to do, and definitely gives us heads-up on results and issues we are having in a timely manner."
 

Cons

"The dashboard features are very function rich, but the reporting feature is probably not as rich as we'd like it to be."
"This may be available by now but for server space, when it comes to the disk file system, I'd like to see that graphically represented, or the trend, rather than what I'm seeing now."
"It seems like we escalate more than I would like to. If anything, they should look at how the tier support goes in place."
"It could be a little easier to integrate new metrics."
"This solution's implementation process could be quicker. They could also optimize the hardware requirements."
"Spectrum's topology view sometimes does not rebuild automatically when a device is shut down and reconnected. It requires manual discovery and rebuilding of the topology, which I hope can be improved."
"For CA PM, there should be a way of easily migrating the reports coming from eHealth going to CA Performance Center, since CA PC is replacing eHealth."
"When it goes through discovery, or whatever it is doing in the back-end that slows it down, sometimes we get some failures with it. ​"
"The interface looks like a Windows 3.1 program. It needs a complete refresh."
"I'd say the interface could improve a little bit. I find with new users, I tend to have to spend a bit of time walking them through how to use the interface. It could be a little more user friendly."
"Maybe they could provide a little bit more flexibility on creating custom dashboards."
"This solution would be improved with better automatic discovery for ping-only devices."
"The tech support is a little lacking compared to some other products that I've worked with."
"I’ve seen two Statseeker techs work several hours to fix it."
"We would like to see improvements in reporting and multiple-user integration."
"Statseeker tech support was bad around 2-3 years ago."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"They should provide more scalable licensing for the product."
"I like the licensing model because it's device-based."
"Do your homework and know how many devices you will be managing out of the gate. Be sure to project what your growth will be each year."
"We were looking at other vendors in the marketplace for NetFlow, and CA just beat everybody else in price, cost, and the size to implement. ​"
"We purchase a license to use the solution every three years and we have multiple contracts. They have been increasing the price annually. We have a baseline for three years and then we need to pay the difference from the baseline, and we are in the process of negotiating a new price for all the licenses we need. The price overall is affordable."
"The tool's pricing is based on the number of network devices."
"The licensing cost is yearly and it's $5,000 to $8,000, I think."
"Compared to other solutions such as Zabbix and AKiPS, this solution is very well priced."
"We pay somewhere between $5,000 and $8,000 yearly in licensing fees."
"The yearly cost varies as per the number of devices being monitored. The cost for 25,000 devices is about $4500."
"It would definitely be a yearly licensing cost, but I don't know what it is."
"We pay a yearly maintenance fee of approximately $40,000 USD."
"We have permanent licenses so there's really no cost, other than ongoing maintenance. When I think about it, that's running us about $20,000 a year."
"When it came to selecting this solution, it came down to cost."
