A cloud solution for warehousing with a troubleshooting feature

The initial setup is straightforward. It's based on user requirements. We also conduct heat mapping using a couple of tools. The only requirement is to understand the technical or configuration aspects from the user's end and then configure it. Mist takes no more than 15 to 20 minutes for a particular deployment. You need to understand the end user's environment and have a concrete plan on whether it's a greenfield installation or an existing one, considering the density and height. Based on that, we need to develop a passive heat map. Then, you need to discuss with the user to understand exactly what needs to be configured and what they require in their environment. Based on that, you can proceed with the installation. Additionally, you can perform post-installation heat mapping to ensure it matches the earlier heat map. I rate the initial setup an eight out of ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy.

Easy to set up, simple to use, and offers great technical support

There are quite a few manual processes. We've had issues with pulling reports. Sometimes we have trouble or get errors. The reporting process should be easier. If you have a hub, you should be able to have an unlimited number of servers. For example, if you have 500 servers, and the limit is ten, you have to pull 50 reports. We'd like to just pull one report for all servers. This also increases the time to pull reports. If we have to pull more reports, it takes that much longer than just pulling one. The product can be expensive. Right now, they are updating and consolidating the dashboard. I'm expecting an update that will resolve a few glitches in the server.

It has limited scalability and is difficult to install, but it is quite stable

Our use case is limited It does what we need it to do in terms of learning. I like the mobility of the PRTG Network Monitor and ITOps Dashboard. Our biggest issue, and the reason we are trying to move away from PRTG, is that it is not scalable across an enterprise solution. The scalability of…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."

"The single dashboard is a valuable feature."

"It is reliable when it comes to monitoring."

"It delivers our customers many metrics, so they may make decisions"

"I definitely appreciate the flexibility and ease of use. We've been using UIM for almost three years now. It's pretty much point and click, very easy to use. And we've had no problems scaling it to our own environment."

"It is easy to implement but requires good planning."

"The ability to monitor any platform. We have Windows, Linux, AIX, and mainframe all being monitored with the same UIM infrastructure."

"The monitoring of the applications to let our business know when things are performing and that they're up and available."

"Easy admin functionality. You can quickly do all the admin functionality without reducing cycles."

"It is easy to implement."

"The email notifications are helpful, and the dashboards are user-friendly for people with little network monitoring knowledge."

"Its initial setup process is fast and easy."

"The solution is scalable."

"PRTG is relatively intuitive and fairly straightforward. It has net flow monitoring and that works all right. I would describe it as a decent middle-of-the-road solution."

"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."

"It has made our infrastructure more reliable."

"I found PRTG Network Monitor very useful for troubleshooting and monitoring the utilization of either the network or server."

"It is able to satisfy all our requirements in terms of email notifications and specific errors on the devices."

Cons

"The technical support needs improvement."

"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."

"DX UIM's reporting and customization need to be improved."

"There is also room for improvement in the reporting. It is not really good enough, according to our customers. So what we now usually do is use Power BI to get them the kinds of reports they want."

"We have experienced challenges with finding a mechanism to deploy the agents, but it's only on the first deployment so it's not a big issue."

"Currently lacks a mobile application which would be helpful."

"The UIM has no features through goods and services yet. "

"Making a GUI with criteria such as selection by robot/hub/probe etc."

"They need to continue to advance the filter capabilities, and provide more input fields."

"A useful feature to have would be automatic configuration per standard by new robots that check in for any particular customer."

More DX Unified Infrastructure Management cons

"They could improve the process of updating the license."

"PRTG Network Monitor could improve the price."

"PRTG Network Monitor can improve by having better integration with devices."

"Their penetration within the market could be much better. If their pricing was lower, even though it's reasonable now, it might help them achieve this."

"PRTG Network Monitor could improve by having a feature to allow uploading of preset standard network switch configurations and the ability to monitor the SLA configuration, such as uptime for the switches or internet connectivity. This would be very useful."

"Once you start going above 5000 sensors, things do start to get a bit shaky. There are some best practice out there that you will need to adopt and be aware of."

"We would like more cloud native sensors for AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, etc. A lot of businesses are moving in that direction, so having something where we can pull performance stats out of these cloud services would be great for us."

"In our organization, we encounter performance issues with our PRTG probe service. I saw documentation from the vendor or Paessler mentioning that there are limitations for WMI sensors. Other than that, we are okay with PRTG."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is expensive."

"The license cost depends on the number of probes and robots."

"CAD $400,000 annually."

"The product-price ratio is better than other brands such as Fortinet or SonicWall."

"Customers pay for the license and the support."

"This product is expensive compared to other vendors (SolarWinds, ManageEngine)."

"Reasonable setup cost and licensing prices."

"Pricing for DX Unified Infrastructure Management isn't cheap at all. It's a complex tool, so you have to pay more. No one is happy with a large bill to pay, but if it's a complex product and you designed a complex solution to be monitored, it'll be your fault that you need to buy an expensive product, and that would be implicit in the design of DX Unified Infrastructure Management. Monitoring is just a small part of it. Sometimes you have to pay a significant amount of money for a complex yet very good solution."

"It's an annual license that is based on the number of endpoints that we're tracking and using."

"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."

"In my company now, we are using the free version."

"PRTG is now available as PRTG Enterprise Monitor, and the price varies depending on the total number of sensors the customer buys"

"Sensors on free version can run out quick."

"We have an unlimited perpetual license, so we just pay support costs and it can scale throughout the organization."

"We pay for a perpetual license and we have a support fee."

"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."
