An easy-to-install and scale solution with the ability to solve a lot of problems with other products
Pros and Cons
  • "It is a stable product. I would rate its stability a nine out of ten."
  • "The solution lacks AI in its analysis module."

What is our primary use case?

It solves a lot of problems with other products. It is a really good product with software that resolves a lot of problems for us.


What is most valuable?

The resolve module, prevent module, and analysis module as well are some of the valuable features of the solution.

What needs improvement?

The solution lacks AI in its analysis module. Improvement-wise, there needs to be more AI in the analysis module in order to be a little bit more predictive.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using SysTrack for a year and a half. I don't remember which version I am using. Speaking about my company, we are integrators of the solution.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

We never had any problem with stability. It is a stable product. I would rate its stability a nine out of ten.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It is easy to scale the solution.


How are customer service and support?

Our technicians and engineers have close contact with the support of SysTrack, and we think that they have good customer support. I would rate the customer support a nine out of ten only because they speak English and our customers or clients are asking for support in Spanish. We are the link between our customers and SysTrack in case of a problem with the solution. There is a lack of support in Spanish. So, if we could have customer support in Spanish, it would be better. So, that's why I rate it a nine. But it's not a really bad problem for us. It is a very good solution.


How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

How was the initial setup?

We are integrators, so it was easy to install. We have the solution on-premises, but we also know the perfect cloud model. It takes a day or a day and a half to deploy the solution. We need five engineers for the deployment and maintenance of the solution.


What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The pricing depends on our customers. Some of our customers say that it is expensive. But I think that compared to other solutions in the market, SysTrack has the right branding. It is not cheap, but also the cost is not very high. It's at the current market rate. The license fee is charged monthly. There are no extra costs, and only the license fees need to be paid. It is worth the money. We are in love with this tool. I think that it is a really useful tool.


What other advice do I have?

I would tell those planning to use the solution not to lose control of the solution. So, they always need to stay concentrated on the console. I rate the overall solution a nine out of ten.

Captures a lot of statistics, shows where exactly the issue is, and has competitive pricing
Pros and Cons
  • "When a user calls in and says that they are having slowness issues, this tool has the capability to show exactly where the performance issue is. The Resolve feature that they have is very good. It is one of the main features. They are doing a pretty good job with the Resolve feature in terms of showing endpoint performance on various factors."
  • "Their dashboard could be better. They did it custom, which is the main problem. They should have given an option to integrate it with some of the tools such as Power BI. Unfortunately, they are developing their own native dashboarding capabilities, which is killing them, in my view. The product is good, but dashboarding has been a pain area. I have to literally learn a new BI or dashboarding solution just for a system. We have 100 such kinds of solutions in our environment. If every solution has its custom solution for dashboarding, we can't survive. It is going to be crazy."

What is our primary use case?

It is majorly for end-user experience monitoring.

What is most valuable?

There are a few features that are very good. When a user calls in and says that they are having slowness issues, this tool has the capability to show exactly where the performance issue is. The Resolve feature that they have is very good. It is one of the main features. They are doing a pretty good job with the Resolve feature in terms of showing endpoint performance on various factors.

They are capturing a lot of statistics to provide you with information about your infrastructure.

What needs improvement?

Their dashboard could be better. They did it custom, which is the main problem. They should have given an option to integrate it with some of the tools such as Power BI. Unfortunately, they are developing their own native dashboarding capabilities, which is killing them, in my view. The product is good, but dashboarding has been a pain area. I have to literally learn a new BI or dashboarding solution just for a system. We have 100 such kinds of solutions in our environment. If every solution has its custom solution for dashboarding, we can't survive. It is going to be crazy.

In terms of features, it is comparable to other solutions. I would not put it on the higher side. One limitation of SysTrack is that it cannot show you the entire picture. It just shows you the end-user monitoring space. From the administrator perspective, when you are troubleshooting something, you obviously know how the performance is from the end-user and endpoint perspective, but you also need to monitor the entire full stack. SysTrack should be able to integrate with some of the other monitoring tools such as Dynatrace, AppDynamics, etc. It should be able to pull in the data from the virtual layer, network layer, and storage so that you can see what the performance looks like and where the bottleneck really is. It is, for sure, a good tool. We are using it, and we are planning to use it for at least another two years, but it would be nice if they can come up with something for full stack monitoring. In the market, many other tools, such as AppDynamics and Dynatrace, provide full-stack monitoring. They provide such a level of analysis and monitoring information.

For how long have I used the solution?

It has been approximately two and a half years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Its stability is good. From a stability standpoint, we do not have any challenges with their cloud environment.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It is pretty scalable. We can scale up and down, but obviously, it has to go through the licensing piece. SysTrack or Lakeside is growing. So, the only thing that they would have to consider is doing this in a standardized way. They have to do it in the way the whole world is doing that. They should not do something completely different.

We have more than 20,000 systems that we're monitoring. In my team, there are 4 to 5 people who are working with it, and then we have 1 or 2 people from each BU. Even our service desk uses it. We have 40, 50 people there, and everybody there uses it. So, it is used not only by those who engineer and administer the product. There are many other people from the help desk who are engaged with it. Overall, we have about 60 users.

It is being used almost every day considering users have performance issues all the time.

How are customer service and support?

They are very good in their support, but their customization also takes a toll on their own members. I would rate them a four out of five.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

How was the initial setup?

Since they have moved to the cloud, it is pretty straightforward. We don't have that much of a hassle in integrating it. I would rate it a four out of five in terms of the ease of setup. It is easy in the cloud.

What was our ROI?

We have got a good return on investment because it was able to deliver during the pandemic. If you have to troubleshoot a user who is working from home, it becomes a mammoth task to know what's really wrong. This tool was able to show us what's really wrong. It was a good investment. Without having SysTrack, we would've not seen what was really wrong, and we would've struggled. I just wish that they do think about their dashboard and make it integrable or consumable by Power BI or some other tools. I would rate it a four out of five in terms of the ROI.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

It is on a per-device basis. It is not on a per-user basis. I was not much engaged in the licensing piece. I was only a part of the conversation about how we are going to scale up or down, but its price, for sure, is competitive.

What other advice do I have?

I would rate it an eight out of ten.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Public Cloud
