We can set up a dashboard to monitor the status of an entire site, which provides more insight into any issues across devices
One engineer is enough for the solution's maintenance. There has been a significant improvement in Statseeker in the last few versions. It includes a wallet map and features we plan to implement when deploying the latest or penultimate versions across all our sites. This will significantly assist in identifying sites surpassing thresholds or KPIs, making issue detection much more accessible. The threshold feature is handy for identifying delays and major outages. This graphical map enables us to quickly assess the scope of nationwide problems, allowing for swift action and efficient reporting to management and service providers. This tool facilitates monitoring by visualizing all network elements with their respective coordinates, highlighting any downtimes or issues through color-coded green for operational, orange for approaching thresholds, yellow for minor alarms, and red for critical issues. The tool is a monitoring tool that helps in identifying problems. It is necessary to have someone trained to set up the dashboards because they might require some programming or specific configuration skills. Once it's configured, it works well. It's not as straightforward as other tools where you plug in the device, and everything works. With Statseeker, you still need to put in some effort to set up your dashboard properly. It requires someone with good training and proficiency in setting up these dashboards. They can benefit the technical and operations teams, providing useful insights into the network and the executive management team to receive reports on the overall network health. Overall, I rate the solution a seven out of ten.

Monitoring has transformed internet visibility and speeds up resolving external service issues
ThousandEyes needs to specify unit consumption forecasting or scaling testing and deeper app analytics. It needs deeper out-of-the-box Layer 7 code or database-level insights. Additionally, it should unify the GUI with broader Cisco platforms and flatten the learning curve, adding better correlation with local laptop system metrics such as endpoint depth, CPU, RAM, or processes. ThousandEyes isn't designed to be a full-blown SNMP monitoring tool for on-premises infrastructure. While it tracks network paths effectively, it doesn't provide deep local device telemetry such as switch port buffer utilization, fan status, or power supply health. For full internal device monitoring, you'll still need to pair it with traditional tools such as SolarWinds or Cisco Catalyst Center.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature is alerting."
"Being able to look back historically at the uptime and downtime is invaluable."
"The product does what we need it to do, and definitely gives us heads-up on results and issues we are having in a timely manner."
"This solution provides us with a quicker response in troubleshooting."
"Device grouping is very easy, and you can discover thousands of devices in a few minutes."
"We have used this product since the organization was established and it has been an integral part of our business as usual functions and I would suggest that if we stopped using it then this would have a negative impact on our operations."
"Statseeker helps reduce the complexity of our network monitoring because it's real-time, or somewhat real-time, so we're able to see stuff quickly and react to it."
"I believe Statseeker has reduced the complexity of our network monitoring, providing real-time alerts and on-demand graphs that improve our network availability."
"ThousandEyes gives companies better visibility."
"The most valuable features of ThousandEyes are the full monitoring capabilities and the ability to identify the exact location of problems in the path between the application and the end-user."
"The historical timeline feature is what I appreciate most about ThousandEyes because when people report that something occurs at a specific time of day, I can set up a test and capture the issue in action."
"<p>ThousandEyes is an excellent product that really provides accurate metrics into network performance as well as the user experience, and I would highly recommend it.</p>"
"It's fairly easy to set up."
"ThousandEyes positively impacts our organization by flagging issues immediately, which helps us reduce downtime whenever we seize or acknowledge the alerts."
"The return on investment is immediate, delivering a 40% to 60% reduction in MTTR by eliminating multi-team war rooms and saving hundreds of engineering hours annually through instant ISP path proof, directly protecting business productivity and SaaS SLA accountability."
"Another best part is that it gives us where the loss is coming from."
 

Cons

"The interface could be more user-friendly and it would be nice if there were enhanced options for reporting."
"I would like the ability to update the dashboard. I would also like the ability to access via an API."
"We haven't seen an ROI."
"If it's twice as much, however, then it's already getting a little expensive."
"It would be very nice to have the Cisco ACI option included in the regular license."
"The user interface needs to be made more intuitive."
"More private MIB object support, such as WAN optimisation performance and wireless, would be helpful."
"It may be helpful to have more options in the alerting section."
"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."
"The guest portal is hard to use."
"ThousandEyes could be improved by offering more effective long-term contract pricing and potentially spending more time understanding what our sales and service teams have as challenges from our customers to see whether ThousandEyes could provide solutions in its broader portfolio of services, enabling us to be more effective with our customer base."
"One improvement I would suggest is regarding the login part, as I have not seen if SSO login integration is available in ThousandEyes."
"<p>ThousandEyes can be improved by making the installation procedure less time-consuming and enhancing the interface to be more user-friendly.</p>"
"There is room for improvement in terms of customization and user-friendliness."
"The reason I rate it at a seven rather than a higher score is that it still needs additional maturity."
"They only offer synthetic requests."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's probably $5K a year for the license."
"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."
"The yearly cost varies as per the number of devices being monitored. The cost for 25,000 devices is about $4500."
"The licensing cost is yearly and it's $5,000 to $8,000, I think."
"It would definitely be a yearly licensing cost, but I don't know what it is."
"Pricing is reasonable but licensing should unlimited."
"We now feel the pricing is a good value. Previously we had a just a normal license but now we've got an Enterprise license. Since the Enterprise, it's been a lot better value. We did think it was pretty expensive before, but with the Enterprise license it's almost less than half that price. If you have a number of accounts within the organization that use Statseeker, I would suggest get the Enterprise license."
"When it came to selecting this solution, it came down to cost."
"It is a quite expensive solution."
"The solution's pricing is cheap; I rate it a five out of ten."
"The solution costs several thousand dollars per year."
"The solution is cheap."
"In our company, we incur a yearly expense in our company for the licensing part. I rate the solution's pricing a seven out of ten since it is expensive."
