ZM
It manager at PTC (Public Telecomuncation Corporation)
Good monitoring and alerting capability, and it is easy to deploy
This solution is good for configuration management. The monitoring capability is easy to use and it can be done without any training. ManageEngine is easy to deploy. It is easy to identify and collect information from all of the nodes on the network. The alerting capability is good and it will send out emails.
MC
Senior consultant at Cambridge Institute of Technology
Has reduced troubleshooting time and improved issue detection through sensor alerts and team collaboration
PRTG Network Monitor can be improved because the dashboard themes feel outdated. It should be updated to a newer version for the new Gen Z customers. The notification sound options are limited unless customized. Restarting probes after Windows updates is necessary, and there should be some kind of automatic restart. The initial auto-discovery added too many unnecessary sensors, so auto-discovery should only take the necessary sensors into consideration.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Customer Service: Absolutely fantastic."
"The technical support is good."
"It is easy to identify and collect information from all of the nodes on the network."
"The primary use case of this solution is to manage and to protect the web servers, the mail server, and the website in my company."
"All I know is that when it comes to managing the active directory, ManageEngine is something I consider to be the best."
"The product helps users stay on top of gaining insight into the active directory, permissions and security sets, and user group policy changes."
"The monitoring capability is easy to use and it can be done without any training."
"I would suggest you use this product as it's easy for administration, and is based on distributed model support."
"The product is easy to use and the web interface is fantastic."
"It helps the entire organization become digitally enabled."
"The email notifications are helpful, and the dashboards are user-friendly for people with little network monitoring knowledge."
"Good compilation of the system's information."
"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 real-time monitoring and alerting are its most valuable features."
"PRTG Network Monitor is easy to set up. Within a few minutes, it is operational."
"PRTG is simple to manage: First, you can create a template for a device, then apply it to hundreds of similar devices, and that's a great advantage."
 

Cons

"The ManageEngine features could improve to show graphs of the traffic and network utility."
"The product could use more intelligence, automation and general availability of product information."
"This is because of the lack of available technical knowledge in terms of competence and maximizing the power of the product."
"The GUI could be improved."
"We would like to have support for integration with ServiceDesk."
"ManageEngine needs to fix the downtime scheduler for SNMP monitored devices. Alarms are still generated for the devices placed into scheduled maintenance."
"The free version only gives us 100 free sensors to use. It would be nice if there was double that."
"The technical support from PRTG needs significant improvement."
"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."
"The technical support services could be better."
"If PRTG could help me see the bandwidth for each host I have on my network, either for a wireless or a wired network, that would be very helpful."
"Having a Unix implementation or Unix installation could be an improvement. Right now, it's based just on Windows, and that's a problem for some customers."
"I wouldn't mind better categories for the sensors."
"PRTG Network Monitor could improve by having a feature to allow uploading of preset standard network switch configurations and the ability to monitor the SLA configuration, such as uptime for the switches or internet connectivity. This would be very useful."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"I would like better pricing models for smaller businesses. The free version is fantastic, but it's too restrictive. If they could just get up to 200 sensors for a reasonable fee for on-premise, I would give PRTG my credit card right now."
"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."
"Sensors on free version can run out quick."
"It's an annual license that is based on the number of endpoints that we're tracking and using."
"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 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."
"We are satisfied with the price."
"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."
