We performed a comparison between BigPanda 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 solution is user-friendly and has good performance and certification."
"The program is very stable."
"The most useful feature has been the AI/ML. The way BigPanda uses the AI/ML is good compared to other SRE tools."
"We have also made extensive use of the outbound integrations to ticketing systems (JIRA) and collaboration tools (Slack). The main driver for us has been getting all alerting into a single UI and enabling us to streamline our incident management process."
"A user-friendly solution."
"The event correlation is really good and it is able to reduce the noise. It is a good tool for anomaly detection."
"BigPanda integrates well with other solutions, such as WatchGuard,"
"The best of a bad lot was the error message deduping."
"PRTG Network Monitor is a very stable product."
"Its proactiveness is its most valuable feature. We already know when we come in, in the morning, if a server or site is down, as opposed to someone telling us."
"It is a user-friendly solution."
"One of the valuable features is the diversity of metrics available to us to monitor. It's all there, it's all in the box. It's all made very easy, by virtue of it being pre-configured."
"The most valuable features of PRTG Network Monitor are the threshold notification when certain traffic increases and goes beyond the defined threshold. The up and down status email notifications and other notifications are useful. Additionally, it is user-friendly, and customizable, and there are many features available."
"I really love the activity library. It gives the flexibility to discover data and metrics about my interface and data server."
"The remote probe feature in PRTG Network Monitor helps you monitor remote systems or your network at a lower cost than other solutions."
"PRTG Network Monitor helps us quickly and easily discover a large number of sensors, so we can spend minimal time monitoring customer sites."
"The solution could improve by having better integration."
"Lacks sufficient dashboard features."
"The cost of this product is too high compared to New Relic."
"Analytics is an area for improvement, being able to break down the actions that are being taken by users of BigPanda, as well as the auto-magical work that is being done by BigPanda."
"BigPanda attempts a little of everything and fails at most."
"BigPanda could improve by syncing its threshold settings with Dynatrace to align with users' familiarity."
"Our infrastructure is quite large - tens of thousands of servers, often with 30-plus checks running on each host with one minute intervals. This generates a lot of data often in bursts (when we have a large scale failure). This has caused some delay in the ingestion pipeline."
"The usability needs to improve, because it is a pure code environment."
"I've encountered a challenge in my functions, particularly in adding and printing."
"The technical support could respond a little bit quicker."
"The dashboarding definitely needs improvement."
"PRTG's application monitoring sensor is not strong."
"In our organization, we encounter performance issues with our PRTG probe service. I saw documentation from the vendor or Paessler mentioning that there are limitations for WMI sensors. Other than that, we are okay with PRTG."
"It probably has this already, but if it had a mobile app that would be helpful. For example, on a day like today when I'm out, if I could just fire it up and see green, green, green, green, green or red, that would be good."
"This solution is a good product so far, but I haven't been using it long enough to know how it could be improved."
"Along with more room for automation, more room for advanced configuration can be integrated into the solution."
