PRTG a useful and easy to deploy tool
We started using PRTG with the demo and we realized that it had many functionalities such as email notification and others such as being able to monitor the traffic of an interface or the SNMP of a device and we decided to purchase the licensed version and it has been a great choice.
PROSWhat I like most about PRTG is that it is very easy to deploy, in addition to being very intuitive, it does not require much knowledge to configure it. It also has an APP for Android that is very useful and from which you can monitor the services.
CONSWhat I like least is that it is a little expensive compared to the competition.
Reasons for switching to PRTG
We changed it because we wanted a more efficient tool, one that was faster in notifications and also more user-friendly.

Good engine
The engine is good, the amount of available sensors is good. The GUIs / clients could be better.
PROSQuick and easy setup Open interfaces for custom sensors An API Fair prizing
CONSAlmost all GUIs Old web GUI stuck sometimes or do not show everything New web GUI put focus on strange things and not very intuitive The full client does not work good at all No multiselect on sensors for multiple changes on sensors are possible
Reason for choosing PRTG
Easy and time saving setup Easy setup of satellite systems Good basement of pre-defined sensors Clientless

Easy to implement, web based and nearly agent less monitoring
It was easy to install and manage, it's helpling a lot with monitoring and alerting and it's aeasy to use. Also to adapt or tweak thresholds is very easy.
PROSIt's very easy to implement and for a lot of the user cases it does not need an agent or software to be installed
CONSFor well known Enterprise Products e.g. VMWare VCenter there are only limited intergration available.
Reasons for switching to PRTG
Icinga was to complicated to setup and to use.

Monitoring with some limits
overall we are pretty happy with this product.
PROSI really like the scheduled scanning with templates for specific ip ranges, so that even new servers/devices/components directly are monitored without forgetting them to add. Also the possibility to write own sensors with Powershell or other languages is very good.
CONSBatch management is poor in some places. if you want to manage multiple servers at once it is possible at some places but there are limitations so that some task are pretty repetative if you need to add batches, or you have to use workarounds.
Reasons for switching to PRTG
The grouping for notifications in nagios was horrible.
Vendor Response
Dear Rene, Thank you for your detailed feedback. We're glad you find the scheduled scanning and custom sensor features valuable. We'll take your comments on batch management into consideration. We appreciate your support and are committed to improving your experience with our product. Your Paessler Team
