We performed a comparison between Elastic Observability and PRTG Network Monitor based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two IT Infrastructure Monitoring solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The architecture and system's stability are simple."
"The price is very less expensive compared to the other solutions."
"The product has connectors to many services."
"We use AppDynamics and Elastic. The reason why we're using Elastic APM is because of the license count. It's very favorable compared to AppDynamics. It's inexpensive; it's economical."
"Its diverse set of features available on the cloud is of significant importance."
"It is a powerful tool that allows users to collect and transform logs as needed, enabling flexible visualization and analysis."
"It's easy to deploy, and it's very flexible."
"We can view and connect different sources to the dashboard using it."
"The remote probe feature in PRTG Network Monitor helps you monitor remote systems or your network at a lower cost than other solutions."
"I would boldly say that this is the most scalable network monitoring tool that I know of"
"I found PRTG Network Monitor very useful for troubleshooting and monitoring the utilization of either the network or server."
"It is pretty simple to use, which is always a good thing. It's been very reliable in updating us if any issues crop up."
"It gives me a live view of the traffic on the WAN."
"The network visualization helps us to drill down deeper."
"The scalability is good. You can improve a remote host or the clustering. This gives it the flexibility to monitor another infrastructure remotely."
"It is able to satisfy all our requirements in terms of email notifications and specific errors on the devices."
"Elastic Observability needs to have better standardization, logging, and schema."
"Elastic Observability is reactive rather than proactive. It should act as an ITSM tool and be able to create tickets and alerts on Jira."
"Elastic Observability is an excellent product for monitoring and visibility, but it lacks predictive analytics. Most solutions are aligned with the AIOps requirements, but this piece is missing in Elastic and should be included."
"Elastic Observability needs to improve the retrieval of logs and metrics from all the instances."
"Improving code insight related to infrastructure and network, particularly focusing on aspects such as firewalls, switches, routers, and testing would be beneficial."
"The price is the only issue in the solution. It can be made better and cheaper."
"There could be more low-code features included in the product."
"There's a steep learning curve if you've never used this solution before."
"If PRTG could help me see the bandwidth for each host I have on my network, either for a wireless or a wired network, that would be very helpful."
"I would like a more straightforward ability to create dashboards and maps. The network maps should be a bit more flexibility in the GUI to do what we need to do."
"In the next release, PRTG Network Monitor should add a backup solution."
"The technical support could respond a little bit quicker."
"I wouldn't mind better categories for the sensors. When I go to add a new sensor for a new device, there are some categories in there already, and they can be filtered out, but there's quite a large pool of sensors... When I want to go in and find something quite specific, I have got to scroll down and scroll down to find what I'm actually looking for,"
"I would like to see them take their graphing tools and convert them into a collector so that we can point telemetry to them"
"PRTG would be improved if it required less memory to run."
"Having a Unix implementation or Unix installation could be an improvement. Right now, it's based just on Windows, and that's a problem for some customers."
