Statseeker provides detailed monitoring and reporting capabilities, which includes tracking network flaps and analyzing outages through detailed reports.
Features like customizable alerts, thresholds, groupings, and support for private MIB objects enhance visibility and troubleshooting capabilities for network performance.
Statseeker offers comprehensive port monitoring capabilities and is flexible in customization to meet specific organizational needs, while also being low maintenance and quick in performance.
Key functionalities such as custom reporting, 95th percentile calculations, and trend analysis are highly valued for their insights into network behavior and bandwidth utilization.
Statseeker's capability for historical data analysis aids organizations in strategic planning and predicting necessary upgrades for network infrastructure.

CONS

Configuration management could benefit from the ability to backup configuration files for devices.
The solution could use more features on NetFlow analyzer, such as time series graphs and a single network export UDP port and UDP forwarding.

Current upgrades often encounter bugs, requiring support, raising concerns about stability during upgrades.
Difficulties exist in extracting detailed data in CSV format, and additional software or hardware is needed for a complete solution.

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.

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.

In terms of network visibility, Statseeker can be very granular. We can tell it exactly where we want it to go and where we want it to check, or it can do an SNMP walk and find out where everything is. It's very detailed.

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.

We were having some issues with a certain site, and it was only Statseeker that showed us what the problem was.

The most important feature for us is the interface statistics, because our customer normally asks us for bandwidth utilization reports. Statseeker has very descriptive transmit and receive information.

We're able to recover more expensive ports on our access line devices.

The most valuable feature of this solution is the simplicity of adding new devices into it.

We are a smaller enterprise, but we're watching approximately fifteen-thousand switchboards with no problem at all.

The main issue I've seen, in the last six months to a year, is when I upgrade I seem to be hitting bugs. The upgrade won't go smoothly and I have to engage support. These things happen when you upgrade, it's not the end of the world, but from a stability point of view, the only time I've so far, is during upgrades.

With Statseeker I'd like to see some flow, i.e. what's tuning-up the network. The trend I like is managing the traffic load by going to the cloud.
JH

It doesn't do absolutely everything and it will require some additional software or hardware support to be a complete single solution.

I would like the ability to update the dashboard. I would also like the ability to access via an API. Then I could produce a dashboard that my C level can understand. This is just so they can go and refresh whenever they want to and see what things look like.

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.

If it had more detailed NetFlow information then it would be far better.

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

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