Executive SummaryUpdated on Mar 9, 2025

PRTG Network Monitor and Kaseya Traverse are leading solutions in the network monitoring software market. PRTG Network Monitor often has the upper hand due to its rapid deployment and scalability.

Features: PRTG Network Monitor offers quick deployment, scalability, and a variety of customizable sensors, enhancing its usability and flexibility. Ping monitoring and WMI checks for server resources are among its key features. Kaseya Traverse, however, is praised for handling multiple devices and providing comprehensive views of IT infrastructure, benefiting complex operational environments.

Room for Improvement: PRTG Network Monitor could improve the flexibility of its sensors and application monitoring, along with more customizable dashboards. Licensing costs and response times in technical support are noted areas for enhancement. Kaseya Traverse lacks advanced features such as AI integration, service mapping, CMDB, and comprehensive reporting tools, which limits its potential in offering advanced insights.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: PRTG Network Monitor allows versatile deployment options in hybrid and on-premises environments, though its email-only support can be cumbersome due to time zone differences. Kaseya Traverse offers strong deployment versatility and has a solid technical support system, but customer service reviews are mixed, indicating a need for improvement in response efficiency and technical knowledge.

Pricing and ROI: PRTG Network Monitor uses an all-inclusive, straightforward pricing model with options for unlimited licensing, offering attractive ROI by reducing downtime effectively. Kaseya Traverse also provides competitive pricing, bundling all features in the base price, making it valuable for smaller applications and scalable for larger needs, ensuring a positive ROI for varied implementation scales.

Senior Product Manager Managed IT at Vox Telecom

A stable network monitoring tool requiring an easy initial setup phase

In terms of the integration and everything, our company would like Kaseya Traverse to integrate with our PSA system and merge or automate what we call false positives, making it more of a threshold than needing to raise an actual ticket to deal with real problems, which can cut off a lot of noise the system goes through. Our company is busy with the solution's integration part, and we wanted an update on the solution that can help us. The tool needs to have some AI capabilities, which it lacks currently. I don't have a technical wish list like technical managers since the product manager looks after the product. From a wish list perspective, our company just wants seamless integration to cut out the noise by merging false positives since the system has the capability.

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

"It is a pretty stable solution...It is a pretty stable solution."

"Most of the features are pretty good and the solution is user friendly."

"Kaseya Traverse is a very stable solution and very sustainable in terms of what the market wants, what is out there, price-wise and functionality features. They're quite competitive and they are always innovating."

"We have found the solution to be very flexible to our requirements. We have been able to configure it on-premise effectively when we were using less of the cloud."

"If I want to automate the management and maintenance of my server automatically, this product is a good use case for that."

"Automating processes is crucial for me, so the automation part stands out."

"The remote support and data collection features are great."

"Everything is running seamlessly on the solution, to the point where you don't see any gap."

More Kaseya Traverse pros

"It is easy when it comes to dependencies of devices, so if your router goes down, the three or four switches behind it will automatically be paused so that you don't get multiple alerts."

"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."

"PRTG Network Monitor is easy to set up."

"The most valuable aspect is the diverse range of features it offers."

"There is a simplicity to setting up the extra sensors. It's really easy for us to build infrastructure and start monitoring very quickly."

"The alerting system is very stable, and it's helpful whenever any sensor is down."

"PRTG Network Monitor's best features are its flexibility, ease of implementation, user-friendliness, and intuitive interfaces."

"We like the alerting system, the SNMP monitoring and the customization of the bandwidth."

More PRTG Network Monitor pros

Cons

"We've noticed a few bugs as of late. However, this seems to only be in the reporting part of the product."

"Reporting is a bit difficult."

"In terms of what could be improved, we are innovating all the time, as well as having a look at different avenues so that the strategy follows the structure. I think the software is still a little bit too new to actually fully asses what it has."

"The tool needs to have some AI capabilities, which it lacks currently."

"Improvement is needed in making it cheaper."

"Reporting is tedious and not organized in the way customers expect."

"However, the issue lies in the adequacy of the responses to my questions, which are usually not up to par."

"Dashboards and Central Protection were an issue. Also, database monitoring was not there. Even though they said that it was there at an additional cost, that tool was very basic. We couldn't have device configuration backup also."

More Kaseya Traverse cons

"We have had a few issues with the web elements, as far as the dashboard. With the dashboard, it has to be manually refreshed. Occasionally, we reboot the server, or at least web services, due to the web aspect."

"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."

"The inventory of the device should be improved."

"I am not sure the solution is giving me all the needed feedback that we need. When something goes off on our IT infrastructure, it does tell me. However, it would be nice if it gave more intuitive information, e.g., the hard drive has gone up by 60 percent in an hour."

"The product could be improved by being cross-platform friendly."

"PRTG's application monitoring sensor is not strong."

"It would be nice if it gave us alerts via Gmail or SMS message."

"The solution has to evolve as an end-to-end monitoring solution. It has to do better at understanding the application at the deepest level."

More PRTG Network Monitor cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is not cheap, but it is not too expensive."

"The price depends on whether you are monitoring different applications, especially in bulk, and depends on what you're doing. If you're monitoring one endpoint, it will cost you 150 ZAR."

"There is a license to use PRTG Network Monitor and it is annually."

"While I am not the person who deals with pricing, I would say that we pay around 1000 pounds a year."

"When you buy PRTG, everything comes in one bundle. Licensing is very easy."

"The pricing is reasonable for the features provided."

"We bought a license for 4000 sensors."

"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."

"We are using the basic PRTG that we can download for free. For now, we only need to monitor less than 100 devices. For more than 100 devices, we would need to buy a license. PRTG is much cheaper than SolarWinds."

"PRTG is now available as PRTG Enterprise Monitor, and the price varies depending on the total number of sensors the customer buys"
