Awsome automation tool for cloud and network monitoring
It is very good in controlling numberous number os sensors and hadle it easily
It is very flexible and support 3rd party protocos and interfaces
It requires huge about of storeage space
The performance of tool might get compromised due to controlling/handling large number of sensors
Its notification feature is best, as it is very much required to get the notification any time to immediately take the actions and reduce the risk
It is best in generating its own dashboards which helps to understand and represent professionally
Has delivered accurate WAN capacity insights but needs better dashboard customization for complex data
What is our primary use case?
I use PRTG Network Monitor for network monitoring, specifically monitoring the capacity of the WAN connections.
What is most valuable?
PRTG Network Monitor is perhaps the most accurate tool we have used to monitor the capacity of the WAN connection.
Real-time notifications in PRTG Network Monitor are effective in reducing response time; it's a very good product on this point.
The reporting capabilities in PRTG Network Monitor are good. Both built-in reporting and notification features are good for us, and we are utilizing these features, which are satisfying us.
What needs improvement?
Customization is not the biggest advantage of PRTG Network Monitor, though it remains the most accurate tool.
Customization options are limited when creating a dashboard with specific needs.
The most significant disadvantage of PRTG Network Monitor is that the dashboard for NetFlow is not user-friendly at all.
The dashboard for NetFlow in PRTG Network Monitor presents data in a complex way, making it difficult to extract the information needed.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using PRTG Network Monitor for almost 10 years now. While I don't remember the exact start date, it has been a long time.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
PRTG Network Monitor is a completely stable product. We haven't needed vendor support for the last three years, which demonstrates the product's stability.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
PRTG Network Monitor is easy to scale up and scale out, making it a scalable solution.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I have not worked with similar tools for network monitoring; we have retired all other tools except PRTG Network Monitor.
How was the initial setup?
The installation of PRTG Network Monitor is very easy.
What was our ROI?
We see ROI with PRTG Network Monitor through indirect cost savings. It provides accurate data for utilization, allowing us to monitor and optimize our investments in WAN connection capacity.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
PRTG Network Monitor remains affordable until now.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
I decided to stay with PRTG Network Monitor because Cisco Prime has been retired from the vendor and is no longer supported. There is no business need for WhatsUp since we don't require map monitoring anymore. Additionally, we are working with SD-WAN technology, which provides more monitoring capability within the solution itself, reducing the need for external tools.
What other advice do I have?
I am just a user of PRTG Network Monitor. On a scale of 1-10, I rate this solution a 7.
