We performed a comparison between PRTG Network Monitor and Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud Monitoring Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Accessibility, ease of use (Web GUI, MobileApps). In general, compared with other software"
"The scalability is good. You can improve a remote host or the clustering. This gives it the flexibility to monitor another infrastructure remotely."
"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 user-friendly, and the graphical interface is good for all the network devices that are mapped in this organization. It's very easy to find reports for any devices that we are looking for."
"The sensors and probes are great, nice and lightweight, they don't take up too many resources on the system. We just deploy them out and they start reporting instantly."
"The Slack integration is fantastic, and I've actually found it to be very useful recently."
"It allows us to directly add individual VMs independently."
"It improves the status of my infrastructure, from networking devices to real-time machines."
"Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring gives us complete visibility without the need for storage."
"The initial setup was straightforward. We didn't find it to be too complex."
"The data collection from our VMs, containers, databases, and backend components is valuable."
"It can monitor, get the data, and then report on the data."
"The product retains a lot of log data for subsequent analysis."
"The tool is efficient in collecting, monitoring and evaluating logs."
"The most valuable feature in this solution is the log searching."
"The most valuable feature is log reporting."
"PRTG Network Monitor could improve by having a feature to allow uploading of preset standard network switch configurations and the ability to monitor the SLA configuration, such as uptime for the switches or internet connectivity. This would be very useful."
"The licensing policy needs more flexibility."
"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."
"PRTG does not allow us to scan devices like we can scan software or another problem in it. Also, I cannot draw graphical graphs in Woodview/look. Another problem is that we cannot draw a good diagram in PRTG."
"We would like more cloud native sensors for AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, etc. A lot of businesses are moving in that direction, so having something where we can pull performance stats out of these cloud services would be great for us."
"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."
"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."
"I know we're going to move to Docker applications and I understand that PRTG does some monitoring regarding this. I do not know if it is complete. If it's not yet complete, it's something they should consider improving."
"In the next release, I would like to see more integration with other solutions."
"The product collects a lot of data but it does not assure that it collects all of it."
"They do not have all the features that I expect right now."
"Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring's data analytics can be improved by including suggestions for various types of continuous monitoring."
"Splunk could be better integrated with configuration manager solutions so we can automatically resolve issues without human interference."
"The solution should have more sensors regarding fiber intelligence for security measures."
"The price has room for improvement."
"The clustering part of indexes can be more refined."
