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."

"Nice product with an easy interface to use and a large variety of sensors."

"It is pretty simple to use, which is always a good thing. It's been very reliable in updating us if any issues crop up."

"It is very easy to set up, SNMP is very easy to set up on Windows and Linux, and you have a lot of options within PRTG, and I have not found something that I have not been able to monitor or that I have not been able to find data for."

"Technical support has been very helpful so far."

"The most valuable feature of PRTG Network Monitor is its ease of use."

"The product is easy to use and the web interface is fantastic."

"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."

"Overall it is a very good tool to use."

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."

"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."

"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."

"PRTG can fix that, but it's only good for small workloads."

"They could improve the process of updating the license."

"The scalability of this solution could improve as well as the automated provisioning of the infrastructure."

"The inventory of the device should be improved."

"Map designer could be improved by adding more flexibility to the links instead of the straight line."

"I would like to see more updates available in this solution."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Cloudian HyperIQ's licensing is cheap."

"The price of PRTG Network Monitor is reasonable."

"The price is pretty comparable."

"The price was pretty good, very competitive."

"We pay nothing for it. Its 100 sensors have allowed us to put a magnifying glass on some systems, providing an extra layer of detail. Therefore, our outgoing is nothing and our incoming is a lot of useful data that we can react to proactively."

"We used a product called SolarWinds in the past, and its cost was high. Whereas, PRTG came in at a third of SolarWind's cost."

"We have an unlimited license for this solution."

"It's a cost-efficient tool."

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