Technical Manager at a recreational facilities/services company with 11-50 employees
We have reduced volume, so that impacted the headcount and relates to money savings.
Analyst at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
Manpower can also be reduced since AI is taking care of tasks, with Spark and everything coming into the picture, making Nexthink very useful.
Assistant consultant at TCS
There has been a great ROI from using ThousandEyes, with significant time saved in troubleshooting as I can quickly pinpoint issues rather than spending time isolating them, alongside enhancing customer feedback and experience.

Customer Service

Sentiment score

Sentiment score
6.6
ThousandEyes customer support is highly rated, responsive, and helpful, especially for critical issues, with effective integration support.
Customer support is one thing which needs to be improved; support team members are slow to respond, and they take a lot of time to get back to us, even if it is an urgent case.
Analyst at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
They respond instantly whenever we have issues with remote actions or workflows.
Advisor at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
Technical support sometimes has delays, similar to SysTrack, and I rate it nine out of ten.
Senior SME at Microland Limited
We contacted the support team, and they resolved it within a couple of hours.
System Operation Associate at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees
The customer support for ThousandEyes is very proactive and supportive.
Project Manager at Procter & Gamble

Sentiment score
7.0
ThousandEyes is praised for scalability and adaptability, though some note licensing costs, making it ideal for diverse businesses.
Nexthink's scalability is sufficient; it is scalable enough for wider organizations.
Analyst at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
We can scale it significantly, not just for creating and updating incidents in ServiceNow but many more applications can be integrated.
Assistant consultant at TCS
The tool's scalability works fine; we rarely see any outages with Nexthink.
Technical Manager at a recreational facilities/services company with 11-50 employees
Scalability with ThousandEyes is straightforward as you don't really need to scale; it's designed to monitor multiple applications, accommodating 50 or 100 applications simultaneously.
Network and Systems Engineer at a healthcare company with 11-50 employees
ThousandEyes's scalability is excellent; it is very scalable and grows with my organization's needs.
Project Manager at Procter & Gamble
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
8.6
Nexthink is highly rated for stability and performance, despite occasional frustrations with updates and rare stability challenges.
Sentiment score
8.1
ThousandEyes is highly reliable with minimal bugs, fast performance, and user satisfaction ratings typically between seven and ten.
There are no performance or scalability issues.

From my experience, ThousandEyes has been stable up to 95%; I have not seen any stability issues.
Senior cloud engineering lead and IT project owner at KDD
ThousandEyes is not very stable; sometimes you have to reboot the servers to get actual results.
Network and Systems Engineer at a healthcare company with 11-50 employees
 

Room For Improvement

Nexthink users seek enhanced integrations, user interface, customer support, diagnostics, documentation, security, and expanded functionality for diverse environments.
Users desire an improved interface, better integration, enhanced monitoring capabilities, detailed documentation, and proactive incident detection for ThousandEyes.
The UI is hierarchical, which makes navigation complex and isn't user-friendly for those unfamiliar with it.
Senior SME at Microland Limited
Currently, user sentiment is not being monitored, meaning if a user faces multiple issues, their sentiments cannot be captured through the tool.
Sr. Architect at LTI - Larsen & Toubro Infotech
If Nexthink also has the capability to provide us with solutions, such as suggesting to run a disk cleanup or look for a particular folder to remedy a problem, that would be really helpful.
Technical Manager at a recreational facilities/services company with 11-50 employees
Incidents should be alerted on and traced early, before they escalate to full outages.
Software Developer at The Code
Having a dedicated incident alert system for URL alerts would help manage noise and streamline operations, especially during patch upgrades.
System Operation Associate at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees
An area where ThousandEyes can be improved is in providing more in-depth packet analysis; we've found instances where ThousandEyes indicates everything is okay, but it's actually not.
Network and Systems Engineer at a healthcare company with 11-50 employees
 

Setup Cost

Nexthink offers competitive pricing with a layered model, ideal for various needs, despite potential licensing challenges.
ThousandEyes is mid-range to expensive, offering significant value to larger organizations, with regional pricing and flow-dependent licensing costs.
Nexthink is about 10% more expensive than SysTrack.
Senior SME at Microland Limited
Pricing is competitive, and the licensing model is straightforward.

My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing is that it comes in cheaper than alternatives.

Valuable Features

Nexthink enhances device performance with integrations, real-time monitoring, and analytics, enabling proactive management and improved user experience scores.
ThousandEyes offers comprehensive network insights, enhancing operational efficiency, troubleshooting, and user experience with end-to-end monitoring and deep visibility.
The platform is beneficial as it provides data in real time, whereas alternatives may provide up to twenty-four-hour-old data.
Senior SME at Microland Limited
The most valuable feature of Nexthink is its proactive issue identification, which is part of its unique selling proposition.
Sr. Architect at LTI - Larsen & Toubro Infotech
Similar to Wireshark, it captures packets, but Nexthink gives me an overview of the whole traffic from the user to the end in the outside network.
Cloud Soc Design Consultant at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
I measure the 70% improvement in customer experience through customer tickets and feedback after resolving issues, where previously, users faced problems and limited time on the platform, and after using ThousandEyes, the user time reached up to five to six hours a day, even for teams possibly totaling 30 hours a day.
Senior cloud engineering lead and IT project owner at KDD
ThousandEyes offers the best features including global internet and cloud visibility from distributed vantage points, application and network performance monitoring, real-time outage detection and incident alerts, end-to-end path visualization for rapid troubleshooting, proactive issue demarcation, and historical data.
Project Manager at Procter & Gamble
ThousandEyes has become critical for swift network troubleshooting as well, so anytime that there's potential issues with applications or we want to be proactive in resolving potential issues before they arise, ThousandEyes is really the platform that we're leveraging for WAN monitoring, Wi-Fi, latency, packet loss, etc.

Assistant consultant at TCS
Proactive analytics have improved device performance and optimized disk space and support workflows
Nexthink offers many features, with the best being Flow, which encompasses almost everything. We have Nexthink Workspace and Spark, allowing integration with Teams so users can find solutions without going to the service desk, rectifying issues in chat. Nexthink Infinity has brought a lot of benefits to us. There has been a very good change from integration. Integrating ServiceNow with Nexthink automates problem ticket and incident generation, enabling the team to proactively know the kinds of problem statements we are receiving. For the integration with Teams, we have not completed it yet, but we are in the planning phase, and once done, we will observe the results. Nexthink has the capability of integrating with most third-party applications, which is a great feature. With the remediation actions we have in Nexthink, it has provided great self-heal capabilities along with proactiveness. By looking at the dashboards and identifying problem statements, we can share this information with the end-user computing teams to fix issues. Nexthink has significantly helped us enhance our DEX score from 74 to 80. When I talk about features that led to the improvement of our score from 74 to 80, there were earlier issues with device performance and reliability not being addressed. Noting these, we identified devices lacking free disk space and low RAM capacity contributing to high memory usage or excessive CPU usage. Disabling unnecessary startup applications brought us to a new DEX score of almost 80.

Proactive monitoring has transformed digital experience and now optimizes application delivery
With ThousandEyes, there are some configuration and metric screens that are not entirely intuitive with ThousandEyes, so they can certainly improve in terms of the usability of certain metric screens. ThousandEyes can also offer deeper traffic insights relative to specific applications, so detailed analytics on application-level traffic would help in better understanding and managing our network resources effectively. I would say that ThousandEyes can also, in terms of providing more extensibility with other observability tools, offer more out-of-the-box integrations with other observability tools so that ThousandEyes can serve as that single source of truth, so that we don't necessarily need to go to other tools to be able to be that one-source dashboard. I think there's a lot that ThousandEyes can continue to improve on there. The issues that I've talked about, including extensibility with other platforms and the improvement of accessing specific metric screens in order to be able to provide for fuller access and more detailed access to network-level metrics would make the platform feel less complicated to navigate. It wouldn't require as many manual integration inputs.
