We performed a comparison between PRTG Network Monitor and Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two IT Infrastructure Monitoring solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."PRTG Network Monitor helps us quickly and easily discover a large number of sensors, so we can spend minimal time monitoring customer sites."
"The solution is scalable."
"I found PRTG Network Monitor very useful for troubleshooting and monitoring the utilization of either the network or server."
"The product is easy to use and the web interface is fantastic."
"The installation is not that complex."
"The solution is very easy to use and the web provides information with ease."
"PRTG is simple to manage. First, you can create a template for a device, then apply it to hundreds of similar devices. That's a great advantage."
"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 solution's most valuable aspect is its ability to get information about all of the security measurements in my environment."
"It is a great resource for us because we have so many different data sources and to be able to aggregate that and put it through a concise dashboard or an alert really helps."
"Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring gives us complete visibility without the need for storage."
"It can monitor, get the data, and then report on the data."
"The product retains a lot of log data for subsequent analysis."
"The initial setup was straightforward. We didn't find it to be too complex."
"The ability to create custom dashboards is one of the best features and that's typically why most people deploy Splunk. Users can create dashboards for just about anything."
"The data collection from our VMs, containers, databases, and backend components is valuable."
"I would like to see more updates available in this solution."
"PRTG's documentation could be improved."
"There seems to be a big jump from the basic scan to the really thorough scan. There is a big jump in the quantity of sensors it uses for certain things. One minute you might get ten and then the next you get 200. There seems to be a big jump between the two at times."
"This product can be improved by updating the net flow interface. The one that is in place works – I can get all the information I need from it – but it is a little bit clunky."
"The scalability of this solution could improve as well as the automated provisioning of the infrastructure."
"Users need to buy the more expensive licenses if they expect to be able to scale."
"I have an issue with DFS, distributed file services... there isn't one by default. Taking into account the difference between DFS and DFSR as well would be great."
"We would like to monitor certain aspects of the user experience. We should be able to analyze the cause of end user experience, bad or good, so we can do some research and development on our own."
"The solution's stability is an area that has room for improvement. It needs to provide constant stability to its users."
"They do not have all the features that I expect right now."
"There is a lot of room for improvement with the automation."
"Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring's data analytics can be improved by including suggestions for various types of continuous monitoring."
"The end-to-end visibility is lacking because Splunk cannot directly monitor network devices."
"The deployment can be quite complex."
"They need more EDR functionalities."
"The implementation can be more user-friendly."
