PRTG

PRTG a useful and easy to deploy tool

Comments: We started using PRTG with the demo and we realized that it had many functionalities such as email notification and others such as being able to monitor the traffic of an interface or the SNMP of a device and we decided to purchase the licensed version and it has been a great choice.

Pros:

What I like most about PRTG is that it is very easy to deploy, in addition to being very intuitive, it does not require much knowledge to configure it. It also has an APP for Android that is very useful and from which you can monitor the services.

Cons:

What I like least is that it is a little expensive compared to the competition.

Awesome product to use

Pros:

The monitoring system, dashboard, logs, patch management etc. I think I like all the features of PRTG.

Cons:

I would say they should improve their Remote management system more. We cannot push the softwares directly from there.

Proactive Network Management Made Easy

Comments: The overview that PRTG provides about network health and performance is incredibly important in detecting and resolving a possible security threat at its quickest. This proactive approach reduces our downtime a great deal and increases our overall security posture.

Pros:

PRTG really excels at providing detailed network visibility. Customizable dashboards and real-time alerting enable strong security. The way this integrates with other existing systems, with deep reporting, makes my proactive management of risk much easier.

Cons:

While PRTG is feature-rich, the initial setup may be a little time-consuming. It would be nice if there were more streamlined configuration options for quicker deployment.

Good to fulfil the basic needs, Inbuilt sensors are not enough

Pros:

1. Easy to use 2. Instalation and preconfig is easy 3. Making Alert policies are easy

Cons:

1. Sensors are not enough to link PaloAlto, Cisco and HP hardware

A well priced, well featured Network Monitor

Comments: Substance over spectacle is in our value system, and PRTG has always delivered on substance. Their updates have been rock solid over the last 10+ years and we’ve been able to effectively leverage PRTG to catch, alert, investigate, and address issues, bit pro- and reactively.

Pros:

PRTG has allowed us to accurately monitor our network and systems as well as been the forefront of our notification system for 10+ years. There tool has been easily implemented in multiple environments and for multiple workloads for us. It has a good ability set, and has received modern updates as new technology has emerged.

Cons:

The interface, while easy to evaluate on a limited environment, can become cluttered or larger than feasible for a quick dashboard-type view on larger environments. It provides good logs and graphs for deep dives, but can be seen as dated in it’s presentation compared to other options on the market.
