We performed a comparison between NetCrunch and PRTG Network Monitor based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Network Monitoring Software 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."
"The single dashboard is a valuable feature."
"Reporting on NetCrunch is pretty good. It's very similar to SolarWinds. It's just a different interface. The majority of everything there was beneficial."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to span multiple technologies and multiple vendors."
"PRTG has improved our visibility and response time to issues related to remote sites."
"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 most valuable feature of PRTG Network Monitor is real-time monitoring."
"It has made our infrastructure more reliable."
"It is able to satisfy all our requirements in terms of email notifications and specific errors on the devices."
"Speed of deployment is one of the most valuable features."
"Good compilation of the system's information."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The technical support needs improvement."
"I didn't care for the role-based, permission-based options, which were not the best."
"When it comes to third-party integration, one of the things we were looking at was putting some sensors onto our firewall, for instance. If there were a little bit more documentation and some step-by-step guides around that, that would be useful for us."
"The scalability of this solution could improve as well as the automated provisioning of the infrastructure."
"PRTG could use reporting tools and mobile alert tools. It should be easier to diagnose and respond to problems from a mobile device on the go."
"The only sort of limitation is the actual probes. So, if you don't have enough probes on there, you can over flip them and cause the WMI sensors and SNMP sensors to sort of overload. Sometimes, they might timeout for a minute, but they do come back."
"PRTG Network Monitor can improve by having better integration with devices."
"PRTG's documentation could be improved."
"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."
"This product can be improved by updating the net flow interface. The one that is in place works – I can get all the information I need from it – but it is a little bit clunky."
