Compare PingThemAll vs. Statseeker

PingThemAll is a Windows-based ping-based network device monitor system. PTA allows you to select the devices you want to monitor and then add them to PTA’s text-based configuration file. We take care of the rest. You can watch the pinging of devices in real time, with line-by–line reporting of success and failure. Also, you can use the PTA Results webpage to see a summary of which devices are not responding. Receive e-mails about all or just some of the devices when they change status up or down. Daily summary e-mails. Detailed easy to use logs allow you to research outages and restoration of services. This is a great tool for network administrators, help desks, network operators, network managers, security personnel, and data center managers. PTA Engine runs on any Windows 10 computer, so you can monitor PTA results on as many computers as you want. PTA runs in a very small footprint. This allows you to run PTA on a production computer or on an older PC. No plugins or extensions are required and there are no agents that monitor any devices. Software can be run from a local hard disk, USB stick, external drive, or network share.

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.
