Provides a stable solution but would improve by developing an all-in-one-solution
The advice I would give to anyone looking at implementing Netreo into their organization would be to do your market research and evaluate the product, do not just choose it because someone recommends it to you. Overall, from my perspective, I would rate the solution a seven out of ten.

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PRTG Network Monitor can be improved because the dashboard themes feel outdated.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

"The technical support team at Netreo is pretty good."
"My advice to those wanting to purchase a monitoring solution with simple and easy-to-use features, go with this solution."
"PRTG Network Monitor helps us quickly and easily discover a large number of sensors, so we can spend minimal time monitoring customer sites."
"The scalability is good. You can improve a remote host or the clustering. This gives it the flexibility to monitor another infrastructure remotely."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is being able to see things graphically."
"The sensors and probes are great, nice and lightweight, they don't take up too many resources on the system. We just deploy them out and they start reporting instantly."
"As far as network monitoring and analysis, I cannot think of a more intuitive and flexible product on the market today."
"It is nice to have one place where all the information is right there in front of us."
"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."
 

Cons

"The scalability of Netreo is lacking."
"This solution is a good product so far, but I haven't been using it long enough to know how it could be improved."
"We're using more cloud services now. It would be useful to be able to get information back from these cloud services in detail, and display any issues within PRTG for the rest of our systems."
"There are some vendor-specific sensors in PRTG Network Monitor, particularly for older hardware, that don't always provide consistent results."
"I'd like to see the inventory of the device improved."
"The technical support needs some improvement. The response time is slow, we normally get a response the next business day for urgent issues which is long time."
"I would like a more straightforward ability to create dashboards and maps. The network maps should be a bit more flexibility in the GUI to do what we need to do."
"Technical support is an area with concerns in PRTG Network Monitor, where improvements are required."
"It probably has this already, but if it had a mobile app that would be helpful. For example, on a day like today when I'm out, if I could just fire it up and see green, green, green, green, green or red, that would be good."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Sensors on free version can run out quick."
"We've got the unlimited package... I believe it was around the £15,000 per year mark."
"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."
"Pricing for PRTG Network Monitor is a nine out of ten. It meets my company's budget and monitoring requirements. My company is on a perpetual license."
"The licensing fees are billed annually and there are no costs in addition to this."
"The pricing for PRTG in our case is reasonable because we have a lot of applications to monitor within PRTG. It is not that expensive."
"While I am not the person who deals with pricing, I would say that we pay around 1000 pounds a year."
"The scalability is there, but smaller companies might need CAM software to be able afford the product."

Nagios vs. Zabbix vs. PRTG vs. Spiceworks vs. Solarwinds Network Performance Monitor
