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…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"One of the valuable features of this site is that it operates 24/7, monitoring my entire infrastructure, uptime, and related error issues."
"Site24x7 stands out. It is truly amazing."
"I would boldly say that this is the most scalable network monitoring tool that I know of"
"The most valuable feature of PRTG Network Monitor is the different monitoring probes available."
"The remote probe feature in PRTG Network Monitor helps you monitor remote systems or your network at a lower cost than other solutions."
"PRTG is integrated on Windows."
"PRTG Network Monitor is easy to set up."
"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."
"The up-to-date graphs and the history are very good."
 

Cons

"It is technical. The engineer must be familiar with it."
"The product is not difficult to use. That said, it is technical. The engineer must be familiar with it."
"More training videos for installing and configuring this software would have been nice, especially when working with a lot of devices."
"PRTG Network Monitor should provide syslog monitoring since it is not available at this time. There are very limited features as compared to other solutions."
"This solution is a good product so far, but I haven't been using it long enough to know how it could be improved."
"Mostly, this software has sensors for devices to monitor specs and you can build or develop or modify various sensors, according to your company's needs. But you may need to do that with coding or plugins or with the support of Paessler AG, the manufacturer."
"I would like the ability to monitor Cisco IRS devices."
"When using PRTG Network Monitor it is beneficial if you have prior experience with it, the user interface could improve."
"The only sort of limitation is the actual probes. So, if you don't have enough probes on there, you can over flip them and cause the WMI sensors and SNMP sensors to sort of overload. Sometimes, they might timeout for a minute, but they do come back."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The pricing is comparable."
"The licensing fees are billed annually and there are no costs in addition to this."
"It's an annual license that is based on the number of endpoints that we're tracking and using."
"We've got the unlimited package... I believe it was around the £15,000 per year mark."
"PRTG Network Monitor is not that expensive, so I like it cost-wise. There's no additional cost apart from the standard licensing fees. On a scale of one to five, with one being the cheapest and five being the most expensive, I would rate the cost of PRTG Network Monitor a two."
"PRTG is now available as PRTG Enterprise Monitor, and the price varies depending on the total number of sensors the customer buys"
"If you are not too sure about it, try the free version. Then, if you like it, you can go to the paid version and roll it out."
"The pricing is okay and it is cheaper than some competing products."
