Observability Architect at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees
Proactive synthetic monitoring has reduced major incidents and provides global user experience insights
One thing that is not available is the multi-factor authentication feature concerning monitoring any applications. If an application depends upon MFA for its login flow, Catchpoint doesn't have the ability to bypass or monitor that flow for multi-factor authentication. This is one area where I would like to see improvement in the tool because many applications nowadays use multi-factor authentication, and Catchpoint does lag a bit in providing the end-to-end synthetic observability for applications dependent on MFA. This is one of the major areas needing improvement. Otherwise, Catchpoint has been one of the greatest tools in the synthetic monitoring or digital experience monitoring space, and I don't see anything else right now, but MFA is something that certainly needs some improvement.

I feel that Rigor can improve their customer service for time zones outside of the United States. When I post a question on their chat, I usually need to wait a couple of hours for the answer. I believe the service desk is in the United States, while I am working in Europe, requiring me to wait for them to start their work day.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Catchpoint has positively impacted my organization because we have supported multiple customers and handled many escalations before they became critical issues."
"After using Catchpoint, we were close to 90 percent, where out of ten incidents, just one incident came from a customer, and the remaining were detected by internal sources, especially with Catchpoint."
"Overall, Catchpoint has been a strong platform for us to provide proactive digital experience monitoring."
"Catchpoint has positively impacted our organization by providing reliable visibility into performance and availability of our Jira and Confluence environments, giving us confidence that critical user journeys are being continuously monitored."
"With Catchpoint, we analyze the time duration of issues to identify why these occurrences happen, allowing us to fix them quickly and provide availability of over 99.98%."
"Catchpoint has everything you could want in a synthetic tool, and many things that you didn't know you wanted but you are ecstatic to have."
"The solution offers three different ways of slicing data to look for abnormalities."
"The thing I like most is the tech support in this company, because they have 24/7 chat support. We can chat immediately and ask them about an issue and they keep responding. They create tickets on our behalf and respond."
"The most valuable feature of Rigor is the ability to test the whole website, including the homepage design and all the sub-pages, in one test. It provides an overview of the whole service."
 

Cons

"For some larger workflows, I think the product could improve in a few areas."
"As part of the improvement, there are certain categories, like for the China market, where we face issues."
"Catchpoint can be improved by focusing solely on network monitoring."
"One thing that is not available is the multi-factor authentication feature concerning monitoring any applications."
"There are essentially a lot of quotas. Nobody wants to sit and manually create monitors for someone who uses synthetic monitoring."
"One thing that is not available is the multi-factor authentication feature concerning monitoring any applications."
"I think Catchpoint can be improved because it is competitively a little costlier."
"My experience with pricing, setup effort, and licensing with Catchpoint is that it is not the cheapest product."
"I feel that Rigor can improve their customer service for time zones outside of the United States. When I post a question on their chat, I usually need to wait a couple of hours for the answer.

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's pricing varies based on services and licensing models."
"The pricing is based on consumption and works on a point scale. For example, let's say I want to look at www.google.com, and I'm going to test it to see if it's there. It will bring back all this data that tells me how long it took to connect and how long it took to get the first byte. It will list all the resources on the page, showing that they all work and there are no broken links. It brings that data back. That test has an assigned point value depending on what you decide to extract from that test. If all I do is check to see whether it's available, it might be one point. I don't know the exact point values off-hand. This is just an example."
"The solution's pricing is comparable to the last tool we were using."
"The price and licensing are very, very high. They have to come down on the pricing to match with the industry standard."
"In terms of licensing fees, I believe they were slightly higher."
