Simplifies monitoring and provides real-time alerts for issues we might not immediately be aware of otherwise

The product has improved our organization by simplifying monitoring and giving real-time alerts for issues we might not immediately be aware of otherwise. If we notice five devices with latency or errors, I wouldn't know that if I didn't command line into 800 devices and check every day. I can see the status on the dashboard and it just makes it easy to know where the problems are. If we didn't have that capability by using Statseeker, then it would be very complex to monitor. We'd need to have another tool or manually log into every device to try to check things. And this product just does it all for us. That streamlines and improves our workload so that we only need to have two people in our office for the network team. It improves availability. If a circuit goes down texts and email alerts get sent out. So, even if it's in the evening or we're not on premises, we'll know if something's down. We use it all the time because it really helps.

Allows any number of customizations but lacks functionality for finding root causes

We have not yet purchased the commercial version so have a lack of technical ability. We do not yet fully know the key points or key features of the solution. We just use what we use along with WhatsUp Gold. Based on our use only, stability is rated 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

"The graphics and trends are the most valuable for us."

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

"The product simplifies monitoring by providing real-time alerts through a GUI dashboard, email and texts."

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

"The most valuable feature is alerting."

"This solution helps in terms of troubleshooting, and you can do capacity planning with it."

"Summary Reports provide a quick way to identify where potential issues are. Drill-downs provide more granular details very quickly."

"If somebody is complaining about slow networking then this solution allows us to see various ports to find out whether they are being overloaded."

More Statseeker pros

"The most valuable feature is service assurance."

"We use Zabbix to monitor our organization's IT infrastructure and workstations. We don't use Microsoft Intune since it's expensive. The tool's real-time alerting system has proved crucial for us, particularly when a new device joins a network that is not one of our own devices. It notifies us about the presence of this new device, allowing us to investigate further. Additionally, it alerts us about disk usage, memory usage, and the software installed on the machine."

"The most valuable feature is the protocol to manage anything."

"Like other common Linux distributions, some of the most valuable features of this solution are the ease of use and deployment. It's simple and has a lot of packages and a lot of software."

"We use it to monitor and manage our servers."

"The features I found most valuable are the user interface and a wide range of network devices that are easy to configure."

"We are able to monitor our virtual infrastructure, virtual machines, windows servers, databases, and the network using a simple network management protocol. We are able to pull almost all the metrics that we want, receive notifications, and have them integrate with telegrams for certain devices that are critical, such as UPSs."

"I really enjoy network traffic triggers that allow us to check traffic threshold from ISP."

More Zabbix pros

Cons

"I would like to see fully automatic updates so that our version is always current."

"I would like to see the solution incorporate diagnosis of the workstation."

"More private MIB object support, such as WAN optimisation performance and wireless, would be helpful."

"I would like to have soft alarming. If an inner-base all of a sudden triggers a threshold, we have to rely on a lot of other tools and then we go into Statseeker to verify it. If Statseeker would confirm it preemptively and trigger it into our network panel, that would be nice."

"The interface could be more user-friendly and it would be nice if there were enhanced options for reporting."

"I would like to see a friendlier user interface in the administration tool."

"There is a little bit of room to improve in the alerting section to give some more options there. It's all I can think of right now off the top of my head."

"This solution would be improved with better automatic discovery for ping-only devices."

More Statseeker cons

"I am having difficulties connecting it to Grafana, as well as some of the other plugins like Kibana."

"The product delivers false positives during reporting because of flapping. Other reasonably priced alternatives may have better performance."

"It could be more stable."

"The initial setup could be complex if you don't have templates. If creating templates from scratch, it's quite difficult, but if you are using already pre-created templates and setups for your needs, it looks very good."

"The documentation could be improved."

"The user web interface is a little bit too basic, we need to link Zabbix to Grafana to have more options, such as graphs and charts. The interface needs to be improved. Additionally, there could be better integration with Grafana API."

"It should be easy to modify the front end."

"Sometimes, the documentation is a little bit written in Estonia – a country in Europe. The language barrier and translation to English can sometimes make it difficult to understand what they're trying to get at. It's just a language thing."

More Zabbix cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This tool would probably be priced well if it had deeper NetFlow capabilities, but for our use case, in particular, we're only recovering ports after ninety days and looking at circuit congestion, it's pretty pricey."

"We pay a yearly maintenance fee of approximately $40,000 USD."

"One thing that needs improvement is how it's licensed. I understand historically the company licensed it off a same charge for everyone. I understand the company needs to make money, but how they introduced the tiered licensing model, and then multiple layers of licensing was a bit of an issue. So, on the whole, coming up with a licensing model that isn't confusing and complicated and is easy to understand would be one way to improve the product. They have told me lately that they're changing how they license stuff, but they haven't made that - as I understand it - in their marketing material public knowledge as of yet. I would say that at the moment it's a bit convoluted. It's confusing. Some of their basic licensing model is a bit of a ripoff. If you go over five or ten support calls in the basic licensing model they start charging you for support calls. I think that's a bit rich."

"It would definitely be a yearly licensing cost, but I don't know what it is."

"The licensing cost is yearly and it's $5,000 to $8,000, I think."

"Statseeker is pretty cheap."

"Compared to other solutions such as Zabbix and AKiPS, this solution is very well priced."

"Up until we actually talked to Statseeker, and Statseeker came and gave us an enterprise licensing model for multiple accounts, I would have said the pricing was not good value. The fact they've come to the party now and given us a very good discount, I would say it's probably about right, the pricing they're giving us now. But the retail pricing, if I went out and, as a separate company, and asked for pricing for one account, I probably would say their retail pricing is not competitive. The fact that they've given us a discount now because we have multiple servers across multiple accounts, I would say that pricing is about right, but not their retail pricing. It's too expensive."

More Statseeker pricing and cost advice

"We’re using the free version, which covers all our current needs."

"The solution is free. However, many open-sourced tools start out free but eventually start charging."

"Zabbix is a free solution but the support contact costs money."

"For pricing, it's free. We don't pay anything for it. They open-source the code, and people pay for support."

"The solution is open source so is free."

"There is no license but we need to pay for support."

"It is free, which allows us to reduce costs."

"I use the tool's free version."
