Kiran Rajanna - PeerSpot reviewer
Includes a Grafana dashboard that helps to improve monitoring and reporting
The installation process needs to be improved, and the tool needs a better script. Cloudian HyperIQ runs on Docker containers. Sometimes, the file system gets filled. The tool needs to have separate Docker volumes in the installation script. The documentation for reporting needs to be improved. I am not able to generate reports using it. The alert mechanisms also need to be improved. It should integrate with AI and give more metrics to be taken up next year. We can show the response peak as an improvement to our leadership.

Detects suden changes but significant pricing concerns affect the effectiveness of network traffic troubleshooting
We use PRTG Network Monitor for monitoring traffic on interfaces and the behavior of network traffic. If there are sudden changes in traffic or any configuration issues, we can sort them out using PRTG. It's very helpful for troubleshooting and monitoring traffic utilization on our interfaces…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The tool has a very good interface and helps to monitor the nodes and resources. The most valuable feature is the S3 dashboard. It helps in migration, and we can monitor the data for at least three months."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The alerting is the most valuable feature. I also like the iPhone app. I get alerts in an email on the iPhone app."
"It is a very stable solution. There are no bugs, glitches and we have not experienced any crashing."
"It is a user-friendly solution."
"The installation is not that complex."
"The authentication links into our standard Active Directory authentication, which is very good."
"We have asked questions of their technical support and they have a very good response time."
"Every monitoring session features similar capabilities."

Cons

"The installation process needs to be improved, and the tool needs a better script. Cloudian HyperIQ runs on Docker containers. Sometimes, the file system gets filled. The tool needs to have separate Docker volumes in the installation script. The documentation for reporting needs to be improved. I am not able to generate reports using it. The alert mechanisms also need to be improved. It should integrate with AI and give more metrics to be taken up next year. We can show the response peak as an improvement to our leadership."
"The free version only gives us 100 free sensors to use. It would be nice if there was double that."
"PRTG Network Monitor needs to show bandwidth utilization in proper graphs. It isn't easy to learn."
"While the desktop app is good, they could slightly improve it. We would like it to be a single pane of glass. At the moment, you can only see certain portions of information. You have to scroll through to make it more granular. We want them to develop the desktop app to be more user-friendly."
"The scalability of this solution could improve as well as the automated provisioning of the infrastructure."
"The technical support could respond a little bit quicker."
"The user interface could be more modern as it is quite dated. PRTG Network Monitor can sometimes be too detailed and cluttered at the beginning, making it heavy to use."
"A room for improvement in PRTG Network Monitor is its sensors. Its application technology sensor, such as the IAS, .NET, etc., needs some improvement because it doesn't work as expected. For example, the IAS sensor doesn't give immediate information, and the information you get from it isn't of good value. The web GUI of PRTG Network Monitor also needs improvement because errors keep popping up if it's not been updated to the latest version. What I'd like to see in the next release of the tool is end-to-end topology mapping for the business model, and that should be required. There has to be a technical map. Technical mapping and topological creation are missing in PRTG Network Monitor, so I would like to see those in the future."
"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Cloudian HyperIQ's licensing is cheap."
"We bought a license for 4000 sensors."
"It is about £4,500 for the first year, then about another 15 to 20 percent annually after that. So, we are looking at about £1000 running costs a year. When you think about how much an outage costs per minute, it's negligible."
"We are licensed for 2500 endpoints."
"One thing I like is that when you buy sensors, it's a perpetual license, so once you buy 2,000 sensors, you've got 2,000 sensors; it's not a recurring cost."
"We are using the premium version of PRTG Network Monitor. The price of the solution is a bit higher than competitors but it is worth the extra money. However, it would be helpful if the price was lower."
"When you have a lot of devices, PRTG Network Monitor can be costly."
"It's an annual license that is based on the number of endpoints that we're tracking and using."
"Our licensing costs are 10,000 euros over three years."
