Launch week: every idea card is free.Get Pro

SaaS ideas, mined from what people actually complain about.

Every idea comes from real Reddit posts, was researched against today's competitors, and survived an independent skeptic before it made the list.

Network Visibility Gaps

Network engineers and admins struggle to diagnose intermittent connectivity, performance, and outage issues due to poor visibility and manual troubleshooting.

In their words

we were without a connection for about 4 hours

r/sysadmin on Reddit

I dislike the web interface of aerohive because it is not intuitive and does not seem to generate proper reporting such as network congestion, most data consuming devices

r/k12sysadmin on Reddit

Is there a better set of testers we can purchase, money isn't a concern. I'm fed up with having to deal with this.

r/networking on Reddit

The network crumbles during peak office hours... users trapped on the 2.4GHz band get randomly disconnected... massive ping spikes (2,000ms+).

r/sysadmin on Reddit

We would occasionally have cameras choose their own IP address after a power failure and we had no way to find it without a factory reset.

r/lowvoltage on Reddit

the tool will shows you the full path across the various firewalls, whether the rules will actually let the traffic pass, and exactly where the showstopper resides.

r/AskNetsec on Reddit

troubleshooting why a client would be slow/lose connection despite having great RSSI, SNR & SIR is impossible for me and my colleagues

r/networking on Reddit

what Id rather want is to mirror a small sample of real requests to a second model while the current one keeps serving users

r/SaaS on Reddit

We have 100 switches in a data center, so tapping each switch is astronomically expensive.

r/cybersecurity on Reddit

The worst part is when I or my techs are remoteed on everything seems to perform as expected.

r/msp on Reddit

What I cannot tell is whether the latency sensitive traffic survives once it is riding the public internet between sites instead of a private circuit.

r/Cisco on Reddit

Any ideas because it caused many hours of downtime.

r/PLC on Reddit

There’s billions of dollars in monitoring and maintaining remote sites / handling remote connectivity, doing bespoke SaaS tools, etc.

Hacker News

there are times where the system is working flawlessly and sometimes I notice that there is delay like for system to read data from the readers

Software Recommendations

Network engineers and admins

Where they talk

  • r/networking
  • r/sysadmin
  • r/fortinet
  • r/meraki
  • r/CableTechs
  • r/msp
  • r/Ubiquiti
  • r/Cisco

Tools they use today

  • Meraki
  • FortiGate
  • SNMP
  • UniFi
  • SD-WAN
  • Wireshark
  • Zabbix
  • Microsoft Intune

Why those fall short

  • No loop detection, no documentation, NAC budget denied for 10 years
  • Client networks unmanaged, no QoS or IGMP; no visibility into AV traffic
  • collects data but does not correlate BSSIDs with management system
  • driver updates help some but not fully; Lenovo support offers little guidance
  • Backup gets unusably slow during area outages; Starlink updates cause unscheduled downtime
