"Catchpoint is great!"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Catchpoint?

The Catchpoint adhoc reporting platform is extremely powerful and flexible. Allows us to 'slice and dice' the data in so many ways.

The reporting capabilities are better than Keynote and Gomez, both of whom we previously used.

Account team and dedicated customer success team are proactive and committed to our success. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Catchpoint?

No real downsides iI can think of other than APM in general, with all vendors including Catchpoint, is extremely expensive.

Integration with our AD for user authentication and authorization would be nice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A great tool with a great support team"

5/5

What do you like best about Catchpoint?

I like the tool but I like best the support that Catchpoint provides, it's super fast to get an answer and they keep in touch even after the ticket was closed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Catchpoint?

Sometimes I don't feel the tool very user friendly. Once I had to contact support for a silly question like see the past runs of a script. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Catchpoint:

Provide more training on a higher lever, I mean a training for scripting. The training currently included in Catchpoint is mainly oriented to admins. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Catchpoint solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have detected production issues or issues with our testing cards thanks to this tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Years of helpful data"

5/5

What do you like best about Catchpoint?

It is really easy to setup and use catchpoint. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Catchpoint?

I'm not aware of any downsides. To be honest everything works like a charm and the catchpoint support is great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Catchpoint:

Catchpoint can get cost intensive if you have to measure frequently, thus paying for the on-prem machines is far more cost efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Catchpoint solving and how is that benefiting you?

Using local on-prems and data from the target countries for the websites, we are able to see issues that our users have visiting our web shops and are able to resolve if they're affecting our business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Critical tool for SRE."

5/5

What do you like best about Catchpoint?

Robust and flexible tool set, with a support and dev staff that listens. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Catchpoint?

All of my dislikes have been addressed by the company in sprints. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Catchpoint:

I dinged Catchpoint slightly for ease of use, set up, and admin. I wish the questions were worded differently, but even though some aspects of the tool are more complex than competitors, the functional gains make the LOE worth it hands down. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Catchpoint solving and how is that benefiting you?

Ability to ensure product reliability globally, and have the information to act quickly if something goes wrong. In addition, I lead 2 operations teams, whose expertise varies. My support engineer has been able to jump in and help us diagnose issues, which is above and beyond. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"CatchPoint Saves us when our performance changes"

4/5

What do you like best about Catchpoint?

Pinpointing performance changes that may impact our customers. We have added a lot of new features and tracking performance is very important to the customer experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Catchpoint?

The UI is overwhelming at first, but it's like any APM. With APM tools there are so many things you need to have access to, creating a simple UI is very challenging. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Outstanding product and customer support!"

5/5

What do you like best about Catchpoint?

The Catchpoint product is very easy to use and intuitive and has all the features I look for in a synthetic monitoring tool. And their customer support is out of this world. They typically answer calls/chats within a minute and the L1 support staff are very knowledgeable/capable. They follow up on a frequent basis for issues that cannot be resolved right away, and Catchpoint is always willing and eager to join ongoing incident calls if needed to help us troubleshoot issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Catchpoint?

I am very happy with the product, but if there was one area I would like to see it improved, I would say the REST API could be updated to expose more information such as alerts and contacts through the API. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Catchpoint solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are executing synthetic monitoring against most of our top tier apps from both inside and outside of our organization. Catchpoint generally helps us narrow down on potential root cause such as network issues, data center issues, etc... very quickly. Catchpoint has very robust analysis capabilities to help slice and dic the data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
