Practical & Real Monitoring Tool

Overall, PRTG has been a solid addition to our monitoring stack. It does what it promises gives us visibility into our network and infrastructure with reliable alerting. We've been using it for about 2 years now, and while it has some rough edges on the UI side and the costs add up, it's become an essential tool for our ops team.

Functionality

Pros:

The real game changer for me has been the intuitive dashboard. I can spot network issues at a glance without drowning in data. What I appreciate most is how easy it was to set up monitoring for our infrastructure without needing a PhD in networking. The alerting system is solid too; we actually get notified when something matters, not constant false alarms.

Cons:

The licensing model can get expensive once you start monitoring more devices. We hit some unexpected costs when scaling up our infrastructure. The UI, while functional, feels a bit dated compared to some newer monitoring tools; it takes some getting used to

Vendor Response

Dear Rabindra, Thank you for your detailed review and for being a valued user for the past two years! We're delighted that our intuitive dashboard and reliable alerting system have become essential tools for your operations team. Your feedback about the UI and your overall experience is greatly appreciated and helps us continue improving our monitoring solution. Your Paessler Team

Pros:

The Free version gives you 100 sensors to start with. That is more than enough to test the software out and can give you the full dive of the product.

Cons:

A bit of a learning cursive at first form what I remember, but they do have the auto discovery for a device. That can help you figure out what you want to be monitoring.

Reasons for choosing PRTG

Take away pricing difference, i am not sure what that looks like. They are very similar products.

Functionality

Pros:

We been using PRTG for almost a year now. We enjoy that it is real-time monitoring and it alerts us using via SMS and email. We also implement the software in a cluster, so that there is no downtime. It offers the service for free to 100 sensors, which also makes this a great product if you are in a small-medium business company. It is easy to setup and use and within a few minutes you would have a functional alerting system.

Cons:

I don't think I have anything to complain about if they are offering this for free. Creating maps takes some time, if they offer some built-in templates, I believe it would make it even better. But besides that, this is free - I can't complain about it.

Vendor Response

Dear Joe, Thank you for your wonderful review and recommendation! We're thrilled that PRTG has been serving your needs well and that you appreciate the ease of setup and real-time alerting capabilities. Your feedback about map templates is valuable, and we're glad you're getting great value from our software. Your Paessler Team

Easy to use, does exactly what we want in terms of showing network event alerts as soon as they happen, allowing us to react without a steep learning curve. The customization for network maps and the likes seem very limited but otherwise a great product.

Cons:

The licensing structure recently changed to a subscription based one that we can no longer afford, or at least made us look at similar alternatives that offer more features for the same price point.

Dear Neal, Thank you for your feedback and for recognizing the ease of use and real-time alerting capabilities of our solution!
