Tanveer Khalid - PeerSpot reviewer
Infrastructure monitoring provides comprehensive and proactive alerts
One of the valuable features of this site is that it operates 24/7, monitoring my entire infrastructure, uptime, and related error issues. For example, it can monitor my network switches. The feature includes IP SLA to assess IP-based connections like static IPs. An alert is generated if issues occur, monitored through email notifications. It can also monitor Kubernetes, containers, FTP servers, and MSP features. The self-healing automation capability is also included.

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…

"The initial setup is pretty easy."
"This solution provides us with the needed feedback on our IT infrastructure. It allows us to grab all the information from a single point of view."
"We can see which fiber links have been used heavily and, if they are used heavily, we can introduce more links to particular buildings or particular areas."
"The remote probe feature in PRTG Network Monitor helps you monitor remote systems or your network at a lower cost than other solutions."
"The solution is easy to manage and the reports are very accurate."
"The solution provides us response times to issues."
"The email notifications are helpful, and the dashboards are user-friendly for people with little network monitoring knowledge."
"The technical support seems to be quick, clever, and has a comprehensive knowledge base online, which is fantastic."
 

Cons

"The product is not difficult to use. That said, it is technical. The engineer must be familiar with it."
"It is technical. The engineer must be familiar with it."
"PRTG Network Monitor can improve by having better integration with devices."
"They should work on syncing the solution with Gmail."
"Users need to buy the more expensive licenses if they expect to be able to scale."
"We run it in a cluster, so we have two that run together. The cluster behind it is sketchy at times."
"When using PRTG Network Monitor it is beneficial if you have prior experience with it, the user interface could improve."
"The scalability of this solution could improve as well as the automated provisioning of the infrastructure."
"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."
"In our organization, we encounter performance issues with our PRTG probe service. I saw documentation from the vendor or Paessler mentioning that there are limitations for WMI sensors. Other than that, we are okay with PRTG."
