Find out what your peers are saying about Zabbix, Datadog, Auvik and others in Network Monitoring Software."The single dashboard is a valuable feature."
"We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"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."
"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."
"It is a central solution in terms of how to actually use it. It has a very easy dashboard. Everything is concise. We are able to create custom sensors. For different parts of the business, we have many products across many environments, and it works for everything."
"The real-time monitoring feature in PRTG is invaluable to me"
"This solution provides us with the needed feedback on our IT infrastructure. It allows us to grab all the information from a single point of view."
"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 bandwidth monitoring is a very attractive feature, it can tell you the bandwidth utilization while it is attempting to connect to the host for feedback."
"Network Discovery is a feature that our customers like a lot."
"The product can scale."
"The technical support needs improvement."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"There seems to be a big jump from the basic scan to the really thorough scan. There is a big jump in the quantity of sensors it uses for certain things. One minute you might get ten and then the next you get 200. There seems to be a big jump between the two at times."
"The automation should be improved."
"In the next release, PRTG Network Monitor should add a backup solution."
"They should work on syncing the solution with Gmail."
"In terms of sensors and probes, it would be really cool if PRTG had a purely Azure-based solution. We had to install a probe on one of our cloud servers and then let that probe out from there. It would be really cool if it just monitored Azure without having to install something on the device."
"This solution is a good product so far, but I haven't been using it long enough to know how it could be improved."
"Can be slow in the way it polls the different engines."
"PRTG's application monitoring sensor is not strong."
"I can't recall coming across any missing features."
