Find out what your peers are saying about Zabbix, Datadog, Auvik and others in Network Monitoring Software."The single dashboard is a valuable feature."
"We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"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."
"The tool is integrated with our email for the alerts."
"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."
"We like the alerting system, the SNMP monitoring and the customization of the bandwidth."
"Its initial setup process is fast and easy."
"The feature whereby it shows when my hard drives are moving towards thresholds that would be considered outages, before they reach that point - that is valuable."
"The solution provides us with needed feedback on our IT infrastructure. It gives us really good quality of service when it comes to monitoring of available space and available resources. It allows us to preempt issues before they become a problem for the business."
"The product is easy to use and the web interface is fantastic."
"The product can scale."
"The technical support needs improvement."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The licensing policy needs more flexibility."
"There's always room for improvement. The high availability feature is good, but it's an area that PRTG could marginally improve. For example, in PRTG, both servers have a different IP, but it would make things a lot easier if they were bound by a single IP."
"PRTG Network Monitor can improve by having better integration with devices."
"I would like to see more updates available in this solution."
"In a very few cases, customers want more detailed reports, which we cannot meet."
"I can't recall coming across any missing features."
