We performed a comparison between Azure Monitor and PRTG Network Monitor based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Zabbix, New Relic and others in Cloud Monitoring Software."Recently, they have improved their integration with other resources, so we get even more robust data."
"The tools for logs and metrics are pretty good and easy to use."
"One of the most useful aspects of this solution is the out-of-the-box functionality on all areas, especially on Application Insights, zero instrumentation, and artificial intelligence for event correlation."
"The solution's most valuable features are its ability to focus on delivery and maximizing the performance of applications and services."
"Azure Monitor is useful because of the useful application insights and telemetry, such as metrics and logs."
"Azure Monitor is a very easy-to-use product in the cloud environment."
"Azure Monitor is very stable."
"The solution has tons of valuable features."
"The initial setup was easy. We didn't have any issues with the process and everything rolled out smoothly."
"One of its valuable features is the fact that it handles multiple operating systems... And I like the fact that it tells me when things are about to fall over, which means I can preempt it and not have to wake up at three in the morning to fix it."
"From a network point of view, we can see the state of the network, as well as bandwidth usage and downtime."
"I like the mobility of the PRTG Network Monitor and ITOps Dashboard."
"The authentication links into our standard Active Directory authentication, which is very good."
"We use the remote probes a lot for our branch offices. Instead of deploying the full instance of PRTG, we'll put a remote probe out there. This simplifies the whole deployment for us."
"It improves the status of my infrastructure, from networking devices to real-time machines."
"PRTG is integrated on Windows."
"Azure Monitor could improve network performance monitoring and make it more advanced."
"The length of latency is terrible and needs to be improved."
"Although it's not always the case, the price can sometimes get expensive. This depends on a number of factors, such as how many services you are trying to integrate with Azure Monitor and how much storage they're consuming each month (for example, how large are the log files?)."
"The troubleshooting logs need improvement. There should be some improvement there. I have a hard time finding the right logs at the right times whenever there is an issue occurring."
"We encounter some difficulties in monitoring the operating system on its own."
"They need to work with other cloud providers - not just Azure."
"The biggest one is probably just the user interface. There could be more advanced logging at the database level. They can also improve their query builder to allow you to search for things better, but I last used it about a year ago. They might have already changed a ton of things in the newer versions."
"I would like more transparency when we use the solution with another environment, like on-premises, or on another cloud environment, like AWS or GCP."
"PRTG Network Monitor can improve Layer 2 and Layer 3 network maps and the GUI more user-friendly. Additionally, they should bundle the features so I can monitor everything on one particular device."
"In the next release, PRTG Network Monitor should add a backup solution."
"The dashboarding definitely needs improvement."
"PRTG Network Monitor could improve by having descriptions for the tab usages. The dashboards or interface could be easier to understand."
"PRTG Network Monitor should improve the NetFlow dashboard, there is no flexibility, and the NetFlow is not meeting the business needs. Additionally, they are missing part of the configuration management."
"PRTG Network Monitor is okay to use, but you'll need some time to analyze the data. If it can automatically locate or identify the problem area, it would be more helpful to users."
"We run it in a cluster, so we have two that run together. The cluster behind it is sketchy at times."
"Maybe in the future there will be room for improvement, but currently, there is nothing pressing that I can think of"

Hi to all. On my view, the PRTG would be the better decisionт as external independent solution. In addition, based on my own experience, PRTG is a more flexible tool that can be quickly configured for any task
Request you to kindly check out Infraon IMS tool. It is a comprehensive IT Infra monitoring tool covering core components like firewalls, routers, switches, servers, storage, applications, databases along with peripheral components like Access Points, IP Phones, IP Cameras etc. Cloud monitoring (AWS & Azure) and SD-WAN monitoring is also available.
Zabbix is an open-source monitoring software tool for diverse IT components, including networks, servers, virtual machines (VMs) and cloud services. Zabbix provides monitoring metrics, among others network utilization, CPU load and disk space consumption. Zabbix monitoring configuration can be done using XML based templates which contain elements to monitor. The software monitors operations on Linux, Hewlett Packard Unix (HP-UX), Mac OS X, Solaris and other operating systems (OSes); however, Windows monitoring is only possible through agents. Zabbix can use MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, SQLite, Oracle or IBM DB2 to store data. Its backend is written in C and the web frontend is written in PHP. Zabbix offers several monitoring options:
Simple checks can verify the availability and responsiveness of standard services such as SMTP or HTTP without installing any software on the monitored host.
A Zabbix agent can also be installed on UNIX and Windows hosts to monitor statistics such as CPU load, network utilization, disk space, etc.
As an alternative to installing an agent on hosts, Zabbix includes support for monitoring via SNMP, TCP and ICMP checks, as well as over IPMI, JMX, SSH, Telnet and using custom parameters. Zabbix supports a variety of near-real-time notification mechanisms, including XMPP.
Released under the terms of GNU General Public License version 2, Zabbix is free software.
