We performed a comparison between PRTG Network Monitor and ScienceLogic 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."We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"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."
"My opinion is that this solution is not very expensive."
"We use the remote probes a lot for our branch offices. Instead of deploying the full instance of PRTG, we'll put a remote probe out there. This simplifies the whole deployment for us."
"Stable solution for monitoring networks and bandwidth, with multiple functions and features such as NetFlow Collector, graphical monitoring, etc."
"Ability to create a dashboard inside software monitoring."
"The solution is easy to manage and the reports are very accurate."
"Ease of set-up – it is quick and easy to add a probe and start collecting data from a device."
"It allows us to directly add individual VMs independently."
"One of the valuable features is rapid dashboards."
"It is simple."
"Science Logic provides distributed and all-in-one concept in monitoring, you can easily customize the features in this product."
"The tool is quite easy to deploy, and it offers very good support."
"Power packs."
"Best feature of all is detailed monitoring of services, processes, ports and SSL certificates and or web content."
"The power flow is great."
"Its ITSM and EMS combination is really amazing. There is no need to purchase two products, one for ITSM and a second for EMS/NMS."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"I would like the ability to monitor Cisco IRS devices."
"PRTG Network Monitor is okay to use, but you'll need some time to analyze the data. If it can automatically locate or identify the problem area, it would be more helpful to users."
"There's always room for improvement. The high availability feature is good, but it's an area that PRTG could marginally improve. For example, in PRTG, both servers have a different IP, but it would make things a lot easier if they were bound by a single IP."
"More training videos for installing and configuring this software would have been nice, especially when working with a lot of devices."
"We would like to monitor certain aspects of the user experience. We should be able to analyze the cause of end user experience, bad or good, so we can do some research and development on our own."
"Integration into service management ticketing systems could be better. They should simplify the integration into big service management platforms like ServiceNow, Remedy, and Cherwell. They're really into monitoring, but they don't do any self-resolution. It would be better if the company moved more into the AIOps space so that you could actually kick off some remedies. I know that you can execute some commands from the tool, but you need to develop those all yourself. It would be really handy if they had some auto-remedy scripts that they could develop on top."
"In the next release, PRTG Network Monitor should add a backup solution."
"Needs ability to monitor standard notification time (notify after X time)."
"The product's reporting functionalities have certain shortcomings, making it an area where improvements are required."
"ScienceLogic could improve the implementation, it could be made easier."
"ScienceLogic should provide detailed documents to customer as the current documents are not sufficient."
"From a performance perspective, it needs to improve a lot."
"I would like to see out-of-the-box standard dashboards for common services."
"It doesn't have the complete application-level topology. It could have service topology and business service monitoring. I would like to see how business service monitoring will function with agent-based installation, and how flexible and business-oriented it is for service modeling and service infrastructure. I have a lot of experience in using business service monitoring, service topology, and service hierarchy functionalities in similar products from BMC and Micro Focus (OpenView), and I want to see how these functionalities will look like in ScienceLogic."
"The product is not user-friendly."
"Addressing duplicate IPs: There is the ability to edit the DB and fix this, but adding some logic to understand them would be a plus."
