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.

Alerting precision has reduced incident response times and improved department-level network visibility

The auto-pause sensor during the maintenance window is good without any false alerts, and it prevents me from getting flooded with alerts during planned maintenance, helping department heads understand their own network usage better. It has reduced incident response time by giving clearer ownership of each alert, ensuring alerts go to the proper recipient. SNMP testers and auto-pause are among the best features of PRTG Network Monitor, which is particularly useful for different departments such as HR and finance, where alerts can be filtered accordingly. The alerting features and dashboard of PRTG Network Monitor are very helpful, especially in our industry. However, the dashboard can look cluttered on smaller screens, which is one negative aspect. PRTG Network Monitor has impacted us positively; we have stopped getting flooded with alerts during planned maintenance or unplanned outages. Compared to others, this gives specific alerts very quickly and helps department heads understand their own network usage better, thus reducing incident response time so that each alert has clear ownership.

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."

"We implemented PRTG to get visibility and to get alerts on when CPU is spiking or RAM is spiking."

"The most valuable feature is the ability to span multiple technologies and multiple vendors."

"The solution is easy to manage and the reports are very accurate."

"The installation is not that complex."

"PRTG Network Monitor is a very stable product."

"It has provided us with early warning for potential issues and has stopped potential downtime before it occurs."

"The most valuable feature of this solution is being able to see things graphically."

"Its initial setup process is fast and easy."

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 licensing policy needs more flexibility."

"When you email the support team, they take three to seven days to respond and resolve simple issues."

"PRTG Network Monitor can be improved because the dashboard themes feel outdated."

"PRTG Network Monitor can improve Layer 2 and Layer 3 network maps and the GUI more user-friendly. Additionally, they should bundle the features so I can monitor everything on one particular device."

"Limiting the bandwidth per host would be very good; however, that's beyond the capability of the PRTG."

"I have an issue with DFS, distributed file services... there isn't one by default. Taking into account the difference between DFS and DFSR as well would be great."

"In terms of sensors and probes, it would be really cool if PRTG had a purely Azure-based solution. We had to install a probe on one of our cloud servers and then let that probe out from there. It would be really cool if it just monitored Azure without having to install something on the device."

"PRTG's application monitoring sensor is not strong and could be improved, and I've also had some issues with it crashing during upgrades."

More PRTG Network Monitor cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Cloudian HyperIQ's licensing is cheap."

"On a yearly basis, I believe it's between £1,200 and £1,500."

"Cost was a factor when selecting this solution, but it just did everything we wanted it to do."

"We've got 1,000 nodes and I believe it's a few hundred quid a month."

"The price of PRTG Network Monitor is reasonable."

"We are satisfied with the price."

"The ability to use the base version with 100 free sensors is great. The cost on other packages can be very reasonable."

"We have unlimited devices and sensors, and it is a bit pricey, but we do have unlimited sensors. With all things considered the price is fine, related to the solution itself. PRTG Network Monitor is good value for money."

"I'm paying something like €1000 per year for the maintenance. I've got unlimited sensors."
