Compare Statseeker vs. sMonitor

Statseeker is a powerful network performance monitor solution. It's fast, scalable, and cost-effective. Statseeker requires only one server or virtual machine to be up and running in minutes. It can also discover your entire network in under an hour without any significant impact on your bandwidth availability. It can monitor networks of all sizes, polling upto one million interfaces every sixty second, and collecting network data like SNMP, ping, NetFlow (sFlow, and J-Flow), sylog and trap messages, SDN configuration, and health metrics. Statseeker performance data are never averaged or rolled up. This eliminates the guesswork when it comes to identifying over- and underestimated infrastructure, root cause analysis, capacity planning, and other tasks. Statseeker's complete data retention means the in-built analytic engine can accurately detect anomalies in performance and forecast network behaviour months in advance. This allows network admins to plan and perform cost-effective, preventative maintenance, instead of fire-fighting problems as they occur. Statseeker's dashboards and out-of-the box reports allow you to troubleshoot and fix problems in your network before users are aware.

sMonitor is a tool designed for monitoring networks that helps users confirm the connectivity of TCP/IP hosts both on the Internet and within local area networks (LAN). This software routinely sends pings and checks the TCP and UDP ports on designated computers or network devices. Should a target host not respond to a ping, connection attempt, or user datagram, sMonitor notifies the user through audible alerts, visual prompts, email notifications, and connections via modem or telnet. Additionally, it creates log files and CSV files, and can generate and upload an HTML file via FTP that displays the current network status. Depending on the results gathered from tests, the software can manage remote systems, handling tasks such as power management, rebooting, and alarm notifications through modem and telnet by utilizing custom scripts. sMonitor can function either as a typical Windows application or as an NT service. Furthermore, the NetFlow2SQL Collector is integrated to capture NetFlow packets from routing devices and store this information within databases on Microsoft SQL and MySQL servers, facilitating subsequent retrieval and analysis of the data. This comprehensive monitoring capability makes sMonitor a vital tool for maintaining network health and performance.
