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."The single dashboard is a valuable feature."
"We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"The most valuable feature is OmniPeek is user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature of OmniPeek is the ability to assign custom color codes to the different packets easily."
"The most valuable feature of OmniPeek was the ability it gave us to see the connection procedure."
"I believe the most crucial feature of OmniPeek search is the ability to sniff packets based on channel switching."
"The most valuable features are the voice bot, which checks the quality of service for voice, and the expert view that gives me insight on what and where to troubleshoot."
"It's a solid piece of software. It's stable."
"I can create my own program sensor. This means I can add extra monitoring capabilities into the already fundamentally strong foundation."
"Accessibility, ease of use (Web GUI, MobileApps). In general, compared with other software"
"PRTG is relatively intuitive and fairly straightforward. It has net flow monitoring and that works all right. I would describe it as a decent middle-of-the-road solution."
"PRTG Network Monitor helps us quickly and easily discover a large number of sensors, so we can spend minimal time monitoring customer sites."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of PRTG Network Monitor is its ease of use."
"The email notifications are helpful, and the dashboards are user-friendly for people with little network monitoring knowledge."
"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 technical support needs improvement."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"I would like to see the tool work in an open environment the same as how it does in a closed environment."
"I would like to see the saving feature improved. We have had issues if you do not save your progress then you have to start from the beginning."
"I don't see a clear roadmap in the future for improving this software."
"The solution's automation has room for improvement."
"I am not using OmniPeek for automation, we only do manual testing. Automation testing is tedious to do. The automation should be more user-friendly. I have exposed some APIs but the usage is not user-friendly."
"Making it more clear on how to configure the filters, or really automating them, would be an improvement."
"In the next release, PRTG Network Monitor should add a backup solution."
"In a very few cases, customers want more detailed reports, which we cannot meet."
"There is room for improvement in this solution for the performance and third-party monitoring protocols. They need to be updated to the latest ones."
"I would like to see a more robust platform and a new dashboard. In addition, the code is good, but it needs improvement."
"Improvements in data storage flexibility, such as allowing customers to specify data retention periods, would enhance PRTG."
"Once you start going above 5000 sensors, things do start to get a bit shaky. There are some best practice out there that you will need to adopt and be aware of."
"I would like to see Office 365 monitoring. Essentially, it doesn't do it. I assumed not at all, but apparently it does it slightly. However, due to issues with APIs, they currently don't provide full monitoring for O365."
"Along with more room for automation, more room for advanced configuration can be integrated into the solution."
