We are able to get to the root of the issue much more rapidly this way, and we don't have to interrupt the end user in order to see how their computer is functioning. Systrack is installed on-premises at our company. Check out that hosted infrastructure if you're in the market for it. In a matter of minutes, you may move from one workstation to more than 100k.

I believe the scenarios we used it for were quite well covered, from the executive perspective. The downtime alarms worked very well and were easy to setup, uptime monitoring tools were clear and easy to use, even for non-technical people (C-level) and the SLA management tools allowed us to spend less time, and have less friction, with our clients

Cons
Lakeside Software
  • Every new version brings new ideas and capabilities to the table
  • Because of the sheer volume of information available, it can be difficult to know where to begin
  • With enough time and skill, creating bespoke dashboards with meaningful titles may be effective

  • The PagerDuty integration could be a lot better. When you use the PagerDuty integration, it doesn't send any information about which check failed! It just sends a message like "Timeout (> 30s)" -- this isn't very helpful when we have hundreds of checks. We've worked around this by using both the PagerDuty and Slack integrations and having them both post to the same Slack channel. But this means that when an engineer is paged from PagerDuty, they have to go to Slack (or Pingdom) to find the details about the page; it's not available on the page itself.

Recently added features have made Pingdom less intuitive for our requirements. While Pingdom has a broad offering and remains a good value, it is becoming more than we need. Our customer base is becoming more and more global and Pingdom still lacks Asia-Pacific monitoring, which we will need within a year.

Pingdom is easy to use, very intuitive and has a very short learning curve. From the onset, we've been able to jump in and leverage the tool to accomplish our goals for page speed performance and discover the insights we need to make improvements. Its a well-designed tool and makes for a good user experience.

Support responded the same day to my query, as I was setting the product up but couldn't find the setting I needed. This was successfully resolved in a short time frame, so I was pleased with how quickly we were able to get this resolved. I haven't needed to contact support since.

Systrack is also used to provide baseline and post-change analytics for the testing of new applications and equipment. This gives me the confidence to install high-quality items that won't cause any serious problems for customers. These are just some of the useful tools Systrack offers to assess the digital experience and take appropriate action.

  1. PRTG Network Monitor was a far more complicated tool to use and set up albeit it does both Internal and External monitoring. The setup wasn't intuitive and there are too many configuration options to complete to form an alert
  2. Amazon CloudWatch is specific to AWS resources and cannot be easily use outside of the AWS Ecosystem

Return on Investment
Lakeside Software
  • It was easy to install Systrack to a group of virtual workstations while doing CPU utilization analysis in a virtual environment
  • You still need specialists to discover and fix problems in your environments with Systrack, but it will save you a lot of time

  • Honestly, we have 4 other products that overlap this functionality whose organizations provide far superior support. At this point it is an unnecessary expense.
  • In my opinion, their lack of support responsiveness and commitment has impacted our IT agility.
  • Its time to explore other alternatives.
