An affordable and easy-to-use solution that saves time and enables end-to-end monitoring
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
The product provides end-to-end monitoring. We can monitor the completed network link utilization and link errors. The solution is very easy to use.
What needs improvement?
The tool does not provide features for application-level monitoring. It would be a great advantage if the tool provides application monitoring features. More advanced features must be available in the dashboards.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using the solution for more than six years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The tool is stable. I rate the stability a ten out of ten.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The tool is scalable. We have more than 1000 users.
How are customer service and support?
The support is good.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
How was the initial setup?
The product is easy to deploy. The complete installation takes one week. We need three to four engineers for the deployment. It is easy to maintain the solution. We need only one person for the maintenance.
What was our ROI?
The product is very useful. It has saved us time and money.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The solution is cheap. We procure it by making a one-time payment.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
Other tools like Huawei M2000 are available in the market. However, ThousandEyes is a better solution. It is very advanced. It's cloud-based. It can monitor different layers of the network. We can monitor multiple vendors using ThousandEyes.
What other advice do I have?
I recommend the solution to others. Overall, I rate the product a nine out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
Efficient network monitoring with cloud insights and near real-time performance
What is our primary use case?
We primarily use it for monitoring our corporate network, our internet service providers, and our staff's connectivity. Also, we use it to keep an eye on the performance of multiple cloud providers, each serving various functions within our organization.
What is most valuable?
Since our primary focus lies in obtaining comprehensive monitoring data from our cloud providers and internet service providers (ISPs), these ISPs are of paramount importance as they directly impact the end customer experience. From our perspective, ThousandEyes stands out as an invaluable tool because of its deep and extensive capabilities. It enables us to monitor a wide array of cloud providers and numerous ISPs, which sets it apart from other monitoring tools in terms of its breadth and depth.
What needs improvement?
It might be practical to extend monitoring capabilities to include network devices. Currently, the system relies on agents that integrate traffic and measure it between the locally installed agents and those in the cloud providers or ISPs. There is a notable limitation in the inability to monitor network devices directly. This could be addressed by incorporating SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol). It would also be advantageous if ThousandEyes could seamlessly integrate with other dashboard solutions, particularly with tools like Grafana. This integration would enhance the overall monitoring and visualization capabilities of the system.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been working with it for the last nine months.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Based on the feedback from our end customers, it appears that they didn't have any concerns or drawbacks related to stability. In fact, they find the stability to be quite satisfactory. I would rate it eight out of ten.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
This tool operates as a SaaS solution, meaning it is hosted in the cloud and readily accessible at all times. Our clients are primarily large enterprises with a workforce of over five thousand individuals and it scales up to meet all of their needs easily. I would rate its scalability features ten out of ten.
How are customer service and support?
I conducted a test of the support services during the deployment phase but haven't had the opportunity to evaluate their performance during the actual production phase when the system is operational. So, I can only provide feedback on the support experience during deployment, not ongoing production use. I would rate it seven out of ten.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Neutral
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
Previously, we used Nagios, PRTG, and SolarWinds. While they primarily concentrate on monitoring network devices, ThousandEyes places its focus on monitoring services and providers hosted on those devices.
How was the initial setup?
I've conducted a straightforward proof of concept, and based on that, I believe that it's relatively easy to implement. I would rate it at an eight in terms of ease of setup.
What about the implementation team?
It is possible to have it up and running in a relatively short timeframe, as long as you have the basic prerequisites covered.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
It is a quite expensive solution. I would rate it ten out of ten.
What other advice do I have?
This tool stands out as highly dependable because it differs significantly from other implementation tools for two crucial reasons. First, it offers the capability to monitor service providers and cloud providers with near real-time responsiveness. Second, it doesn't operate in an exclusively passive manner. Unlike traditional network monitoring tools, it can be both installed and utilized concurrently alongside the existing corporate network infrastructure. I would rate it eight out of ten.
