Alerting precision has reduced incident response times and improved department-level network visibility
The auto-pause sensor during the maintenance window is good without any false alerts, and it prevents me from getting flooded with alerts during planned maintenance, helping department heads understand their own network usage better. It has reduced incident response time by giving clearer ownership of each alert, ensuring alerts go to the proper recipient. SNMP testers and auto-pause are among the best features of PRTG Network Monitor, which is particularly useful for different departments such as HR and finance, where alerts can be filtered accordingly. The alerting features and dashboard of PRTG Network Monitor are very helpful, especially in our industry. However, the dashboard can look cluttered on smaller screens, which is one negative aspect. PRTG Network Monitor has impacted us positively; we have stopped getting flooded with alerts during planned maintenance or unplanned outages. Compared to others, this gives specific alerts very quickly and helps department heads understand their own network usage better, thus reducing incident response time so that each alert has clear ownership.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The machine learning feature is valuable."
"The Centerity gives us exactly what we need from performance system monitoring."
"Centerity is much more than a monitoring tool — it’s a unified, end-to-end, enterprise-class and multi-tenanted AIOps Platform that is purpose-built to help MSPs and data-centers deliver the highest levels of up-time and performance."
"The authentication links into our standard Active Directory authentication, which is very good."
"The tool is integrated with our email for the alerts."
"We have gotten weeks and hours back from using the product."
"Every monitoring session features similar capabilities."
"The product is simple and easy to implement."
"I can create my own program sensor. This means I can add extra monitoring capabilities into the already fundamentally strong foundation."
"We can see which fiber links have been used heavily and, if they are used heavily, we can introduce more links to particular buildings or particular areas."
"You should absolutely look at this solution; it gives us everything that we need: the lightweight aspect of it on the network and the amount of information, and it's absolutely worth the money."
 

Cons

"One of the major improvements should be it implementation as a SaaS"
"The GUI must be improved. Graphs must be changed including high level maps"
"They can improve the functionality that provides some numbers related to the behavior of the metrics."
"I'd like to see the inventory of the device improved."
"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."
"For smaller networks, I would recommend this solution. That said, if the network is complex, I would recommend a company evaluates another product instead."
"There is room for improvement in this solution for the performance and third-party monitoring protocols. They need to be updated to the latest ones."
"Maybe in the future there will be room for improvement, but currently, there is nothing pressing that I can think of"
"I am not sure the solution is giving me all the needed feedback that we need. When something goes off on our IT infrastructure, it does tell me. However, it would be nice if it gave more intuitive information, e.g., the hard drive has gone up by 60 percent in an hour."
"PRTG Network Monitor could improve by having descriptions for the tab usages. The dashboards or interface could be easier to understand."
"When you email the support team, they take three to seven days to respond and resolve simple issues."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The scalability is there, but smaller companies might need CAM software to be able afford the product."
"There is a license to use PRTG Network Monitor and it is annually."
"On a yearly basis, I believe it's between £1,200 and £1,500."
"The pricing is okay and it is cheaper than some competing products."
"While I am not the person who deals with pricing, I would say that we pay around 1000 pounds a year."
"We have an unlimited perpetual license, so we just pay support costs and it can scale throughout the organization."
"The price is pretty comparable."
"The pricing for PRTG in our case is reasonable because we have a lot of applications to monitor within PRTG. It is not that expensive."
