PathSolutions TotalView

## What is PathSolutions TotalView?

TotalView makes network monitoring and root-cause troubleshooting quick and easy: It deeply interrogates all network devices and interfaces for actionable intelligence, and then uses a built-in heuristics engine to analyze the information to come up with plain-English answers of what is broken: outages, performance problems, cable faults, resource limitations, micro-burst link floods, VLAN tagging misconfigurations, etc. Within 1 hour of deployment, you will know everything your network knows.

The experience has been great. The product and the support are great. Detailed information and the PathSolutions team is great to work with'

Pros

Ease of use and depth of information. Covers everything we were looking for to replace our previous Logicmonitor solution

No SMS alerting feature yet. The product is constantly being improved and they are good about taking requests/recommendations.

We use PathSolutions to provide Network Assessments to our customers. We have had the tool for just a short period of time and have already used it in many of our customer environments. The ease of use and deployment it provides in a matter of minutes has significantly cut down the time it takes for us to perform an assessment. Not to mention the reporting and visibility it provides is instrumental in providing the data we need to properly identify issues and health checks for our customers.

Pros

The assessment reporting tool is outstanding. I like the ease of you use of the dashboard for quick display of issues or areas that need attention.

Cons

The network diagram only shows layer 3 connections and not all devices discovered with the tool. It would be nice for Layer 2 devices discovered to also be displayed. Also the discovery mechanism is based off IP ranges added in the discovery. It doesn't use tools such lldp or cdp to branch out and discover additional devices not listed in the IP ranges fro discovery.

Switched from

[NetBrain](https://www.capterra.com/p/163422/NetBrain/)

The main reason for the change was cost and ease of use.

Reasons for choosing PathSolutions TotalView

Cost and ease of use. Also the built in Assessment Tool and Network Diagram functionality were main selling points.

Pros

To say I like this software would be gross understatement. I do not know how I could function in my day-to-day duties without it. I count on my first stop of the day being the total path console; where I can get an overall view of just what’s "cooking" in my network gear. The console gives me just enough information to give me a warm feeling that everything is ok, without an overload of messages when a slight issue pops up. It gives me great comfort to know that the software will tell me this without the usual RED-ALERT-DANGER-WILL-ROBINSON-KLAXONS of other products. These small issues are usually so slight that no one notices, or it usually works itself out without my having to do a thing. Kudos for the calmness of your product. On the occasion where I have had an issue Totalview was usually the first to alert me that I had a problem, and its troubleshooting library was usually correct in its probable diagnosis. Any software that can tell me that something is wrong and it's probably a bad cable (which it usually is), is A-OK in my book, and I recommend Totalview HIGHLY

Cons

A little more explanation of some of the features within the product. I'll have to admit some of its most used features and screen were those I stumbled on., with great pleasure I might add.

Finding unknown performance problems and being able to suggest possible cause.

Pros

The product is great but the best part of TotalView is working with the developers at PathSolutions. Great customer support and great people.

Cons

I'd like to be able to see all the down nodes right from the dashboard in a very user friendly manor. I find the map view hard to setup.

Great idea for a new dashboard widget, we'll make that happen! I'll have someone from support show you the MapTool, it's the better & easier way to configure maps.

We have two other "network tools" and my go to is PathSolutions. easy o use and has all the tools that I need to get things done and troubleshoot what I need.

Pros

Easy to use, shows network performance and drills down to specific interfaces which is a plus. Network analysis, IPAM, the network Map diagram, Netflow

Cons

Sometimes netflow is not working correctly as far as showing data even though we have configured our routers for PathSolutions monitoring.

We have used TotalView for several years and it is a fantastic product. We will continue to use it. The company is also amazing. They treat you amazing and are incredibly knowledgeable about their product.

Pros

TotalView is amazing at giving us a overall view of our network traffic and seeing our bottlenecks and invalid configurations. It helps us find those gremlins causing us poor networking

Cons

This is not so much about the software. It is so robust and has so many features that I wish we had the time to utilize them all. I feel like we have just scratched the surface of what it is capable of doing.

My overall experience is excellent. They are responsive, informative, the software is easy to set up and all the config files are in one toolbox, and there are other options for checking if devices are ready to add, a network search wizard, and it will tell you what is connected to each port in your system. You can filter by a ton of stuff (what parts are up, what are down, what are admin down, how much power is being drawn by POE, equipment inventory details, equipment vulnerabilities (at least for routers and switches in the base package) - one of our security guys told me he liked it better for some things than Nessus. I have no complaints with the company - they are easy and "fun" to work with.

Pros

In comparing to SolarWinds, which we also have, this is MUCH more intuitive to use - you can find what you need in only a few clicks, and if you let it see your entire network you can literally type what you are looking for in the search box and it will find it. You can set it up to track all kinds of things and warn you as needed, for example, since most of our POE devices are either phones or access points, it will tell me right away if someone unplugs a phone, and it will also tell me if they plug it back in somewhere else, or if a wireless access point gets unplugged, etc. If I am having problem with a PC or printer I can type its network name in the search box and it will tell me exactly which switch stack and port it's plugged in to. I am getting set up to evaluate their new security module, which looks incredible and I'm excited to learn how it works and demo it to our organization. They are fair with the licensing costs per port, and the support contract is reasonably priced as well. Tech support is excellent and very responsive, and the reps will check in on occasion just to see how things are going.

Cons

I don't feel there are aspects that are hard to use - you give it all your IP scopes, and make sure SNMP is set up on your devices, and it goes out and does all the rest. I am not a huge fan of the network diagram - yes, it shows you everything on the network and how it is connected, but I am finding it hard to find out how to reposition stuff for better readability - it seems to have a life of its own and when you stretch something the whole map moves - I have also not found an easy way to get that map out on paper - I can go up to 11x17, technically larger if I use the plotter, but I haven't found a way to export it or print it decently. It's hard to complain - if I ask for something and it's not impossible to do it has eventually found its way into an update.

Reasons for choosing PathSolutions TotalView

I can't stand Solarwinds, but the "tech kids" like it. It's like using the Yellow Pages - I can't find anything unless I know the secret category to look in, and which module that might be in, and it doesn't really give you all that much information without having to buy a ton of add-ons. I bundled TotalView in with our VOIP phone system upgrade with a limited number of ports, was loowed to expand it once, and am trying to get permission to expand it to cover the whole network. They are currently giving me a short trial license so we can actually see what it can do with access to everything, and hopefully I can get the rest of what I want. They are also going to let me trial the new security module, which should appeal to our new boss, who can't stand Solarwinds either... I have no regrets in purchasing this product and choosing this company other than I want it to have access to everything!

My overall experience with PathSolutions TotalView has been excellent. The engineers are quick to jump in and help you get it running so you get the most from the product without guessing what you need. The number of built-in tests alongside the ability to create your own custom test that outputs in multiple common formats like HTML, Word, CSV make this product stand out among its competitors. When you add its ability to scan the network for devices, interfaces, and hidden issues, you get the total view of your network (guess that's how it got its name). ;-)

Pros

The software checks all the boxes as far as being able to do network diagnostics for voice, data, video or any combination of the above while also providing a deeper dive into each device, its interfaces, uplinks, and overall system/network health. It has the ability to scan networks to create a quick inventory while also pulling stats that highlight hard to find errors often overlooked in a device configuration.

Cons

The product creates fantastic reports but would like the additional feature to store call simulation reports on the server vs only on the client itself. Overall though, it auto generates an easy to read report you can edit and customize to your audience without needing to do a ton of CUT/PASTE or have an expensive Adobe license.

Overall, it has been great, especially in regards to the support we have received. Their support is top notch. Other companies can learn a thing or two on how to treat their customers.

Pros

There are several things I like, with the top two being the daily reports I get emailed indicating overall network health, and the second being the overall ease of use. This is a very easy application to learn and use.

Cons

I don't have any complaints, but if I did have to list one, it would be that it doesn't help me troubleshoot issues with remote users on VoIP phones. Now, this may be a case of user error or lack of education, or it may not be something that Total View is capable of due to the users equipment or setup and I am falsely pinning this on Total View as a deficiency.
