We performed a comparison between Azure Monitor and PRTG Network Monitor based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Zabbix, New Relic and others in Cloud Monitoring Software."Azure Monitor's best features are its graphs and charts, the different visibility options, and reporting."
"I am monitoring all of my Azure Monitor and getting good reports. I can customize the reports to get the information I need. I am also getting emails about which AAS instances are down and everything in the system related to my services. It is easy to use, scalable, and user-friendly. Microsoft has Many guides and videos to help you understand how to create and use Azure Monitor."
"Technical support is helpful."
"Recently, they have improved their integration with other resources, so we get even more robust data."
"The solution has tons of valuable features."
"Azure Monitor is really just a source for Dynatrace. It's just collecting data and monitoring the environment and the infrastructure. It is fairly good at that."
"In the last company where I worked about a year ago, it looked very simple."
"Provides an overview and high-level information."
"Technical support has been very helpful so far."
"The most valuable feature is the notifications. As long as you spend time and think about what and when you want to be notified, it's always accurate. It is always there. I find things out before my Internet provider."
"The best feature is that it lets me know what is going on. I need to know if something has gone down, I need to know if something is running very slowly. PRTG tells me that."
"The solution is very easy to use and the web provides information with ease."
"It is easy to use and intuitive, which is really important. It does what it says on the box by giving you a visual of the state of what is going on at any one time."
"The product is easy to use and the web interface is fantastic."
"We like the alerting system, the SNMP monitoring and the customization of the bandwidth."
"The remote probe feature in PRTG Network Monitor helps you monitor remote systems or your network at a lower cost than other solutions."
"In terms of pricing, Azure Monitor's billing based on data size can sometimes lead to increased costs, especially when developers need to purge data frequently. While there are mechanisms in place to track and manage this, there is room for improvement in terms of optimizing data pausing and related processes. Enhancements in this area could help mitigate potential billing concerns and provide a more seamless experience for users."
"We encounter some difficulties in monitoring the operating system on its own."
"The monitoring of Kubernetes clusters needs improvement to be on par with competitors."
"The biggest one is probably just the user interface. There could be more advanced logging at the database level. They can also improve their query builder to allow you to search for things better, but I last used it about a year ago. They might have already changed a ton of things in the newer versions."
"Setting up this solution is complex. It's also missing the functionality of assigning alerts."
"They need to work with other cloud providers - not just Azure."
"The troubleshooting logs need improvement. There should be some improvement there. I have a hard time finding the right logs at the right times whenever there is an issue occurring."
"This solution could be improved with more out-of-the-box functionalities and artificial intelligence to complete event correlation."
"PRTG Network Monitor can improve Layer 2 and Layer 3 network maps and the GUI more user-friendly. Additionally, they should bundle the features so I can monitor everything on one particular device."
"We need something that is more predictive. We would prefer if it wasn't a solution that was corrective and instead offered predictive insights so that we can handle problems before they even occur."
"In the next release, PRTG Network Monitor should add a backup solution."
"PRTG would be improved if it required less memory to run."
"Maybe in the future there will be room for improvement, but currently, there is nothing pressing that I can think of"
"PRTG Network Monitor could improve the price."
"PRTG Network Monitor can improve by adding prevention and detection features."
"We run it in a cluster, so we have two that run together. The cluster behind it is sketchy at times."

Hi to all. On my view, the PRTG would be the better decisionт as external independent solution. In addition, based on my own experience, PRTG is a more flexible tool that can be quickly configured for any task
Request you to kindly check out Infraon IMS tool. It is a comprehensive IT Infra monitoring tool covering core components like firewalls, routers, switches, servers, storage, applications, databases along with peripheral components like Access Points, IP Phones, IP Cameras etc. Cloud monitoring (AWS & Azure) and SD-WAN monitoring is also available.
Zabbix is an open-source monitoring software tool for diverse IT components, including networks, servers, virtual machines (VMs) and cloud services. Zabbix provides monitoring metrics, among others network utilization, CPU load and disk space consumption. Zabbix monitoring configuration can be done using XML based templates which contain elements to monitor. The software monitors operations on Linux, Hewlett Packard Unix (HP-UX), Mac OS X, Solaris and other operating systems (OSes); however, Windows monitoring is only possible through agents. Zabbix can use MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, SQLite, Oracle or IBM DB2 to store data. Its backend is written in C and the web frontend is written in PHP. Zabbix offers several monitoring options:
Simple checks can verify the availability and responsiveness of standard services such as SMTP or HTTP without installing any software on the monitored host.
A Zabbix agent can also be installed on UNIX and Windows hosts to monitor statistics such as CPU load, network utilization, disk space, etc.
As an alternative to installing an agent on hosts, Zabbix includes support for monitoring via SNMP, TCP and ICMP checks, as well as over IPMI, JMX, SSH, Telnet and using custom parameters. Zabbix supports a variety of near-real-time notification mechanisms, including XMPP.
Released under the terms of GNU General Public License version 2, Zabbix is free software.
