Trisul Network Analytics vs. Statseeker

In today's cloud-centric networks that are both encrypted and bandwidth-unconstrained, it has become increasingly difficult to distinguish between traffic analytics and security investigations. Trisul offers organizations of all sizes a comprehensive solution for deep network monitoring, acting as a unified source for performance analysis, network design, security analytics, threat detection, and compliance. Unlike traditional methods relying on SNMP, Netflow Agents, and Packet Capture, which often have limited focus and are tied to specific vendor solutions, Trisul stands out as a unique platform that fosters innovation within a flexible, open environment. This platform features a well-integrated backend database and a user-friendly web interface, enabling connections to various backends and the ability to utilize tools like Grafana and Kibana for enhanced data visualization. Our aim is to incorporate an extensive array of performance capabilities into a single node, while also providing the scalability needed for larger networks by simply adding more probes or hubs. Ultimately, Trisul empowers organizations to achieve greater insights and control over their network environments.

Statseeker stands out as a robust network performance monitoring solution, designed to be both rapid and scalable while also being budget-friendly. With the capability to set up on a single server or virtual machine in mere minutes, Statseeker can map out your entire network in less than an hour, all without significantly affecting your bandwidth availability. It supports monitoring for networks of various sizes, polling up to a million interfaces every minute and gathering an array of network data types, including SNMP, ping, NetFlow (along with sFlow and J-Flow), syslog, trap messages, SDN configurations, and health metrics. What sets Statseeker apart is its approach to performance data, which are never averaged or rolled up, thereby removing uncertainty in tasks such as root cause analysis, capacity planning, and identifying over- or under-utilized infrastructure. The solution's comprehensive data retention allows its built-in analytical engine to accurately recognize performance anomalies and predict network behaviors well in advance, empowering network administrators to engage in proactive maintenance rather than merely addressing issues as they arise. Furthermore, Statseeker provides intuitive dashboards and ready-to-use reports, enabling users to identify and resolve network issues before they impact end users, ensuring a smoother and more reliable network experience overall.
