We performed a comparison between LogRhythm NetMon 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."
"The analytics feature is the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature is the log, which can be analyzed by our SIEM solution."
"The protocols with which you see the traffic for a particular website that a client has in their environment, for example, are valuable. We can monitor whether the traffic is up to the mark or whether they need to add more bandwidth. Also, we can see if we're able to get real-time environment data as well. The customization dashboard is really good. LogRhythm NetMon has its own in-built dashboards which are helpful in guiding customization."
"It has a very strong artificial intelligence engine."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"NetMon's best feature is traffic analysis."
"Visibility is a valuable feature, the ability to see even if the traffic is not going into the firewall"
"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."
"The Slack integration is fantastic, and I've actually found it to be very useful recently."
"Good compilation of the system's information."
"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."
"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."
"I think net flow is PRTG's most valuable feature because it doesn't cost much for us because the net flow sensor is already included in the PRTG license. We can monitor our traffic in our proxy and router."
"Speed of deployment is one of the most valuable features."
"I like the mobility of the PRTG Network Monitor and ITOps Dashboard."
"The technical support needs improvement."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"LogRhythm NetMon's pricing model is an area of concern that should be made a little bit cheaper in comparison to the other players in the market currently."
"There is an issue with tunneling in relation to how the connectivity is established between the end devices and where NetMon is installed. On the console, I often observe that there's a difference of a few seconds or maybe a minute, and this lag time should not be there."
"Sometimes it's hard to find the network devices' self-audit logs."
"I would like to see better integration with multiple products. Integration is not something that is readily available for most of the products."
"Could use a topology diagram which would help get an exact visual."
"The training for this product is not very good and needs to be improved."
"Some of the automated tasks we can perform on QRadar cannot be performed on LogRhythm because the solution has limitations."
"With custom sensors, there is a lot of work which needs to be done in the background, just for it to be tailor-made for the specific thing that we are actually monitoring. We take a lot of time with the custom sensors. I would like to see the customer sensor be more robust and a bit more varied."
"PRTG's application monitoring sensor is not strong."
"Maybe in the future there will be room for improvement, but currently, there is nothing pressing that I can think of"
"The dashboarding definitely needs improvement."
"Other monitoring tools that I have used are easier to use."
"I would like a more straightforward ability to create dashboards and maps. The network maps should be a bit more flexibility in the GUI to do what we need to do."
"The scalability of this solution could improve as well as the automated provisioning of the infrastructure."
"The Desktop app is good but it can be really sluggish at times, especially when you're editing different elements."
