We performed a comparison between DX Performance Management and PRTG Network Monitor based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Network Monitoring Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"When we deployed it, right out of the box we were able to stand up Performance Management within two weeks, in our production environment, with full discovery and relevant information, actual information, that we could use in our command center, our 24/7 operations center."
"One feature I like about CA Performance Management is the certification of the devices."
"The out-of-the-box dashboards are valuable, in terms of being able to visualize performance data in ways that we haven't in the past."
"What is most useful is visibility."
"It can be easily integrated with other systems and is powerful enough to collect data from a large number of devices."
"The feature that is inherent to its core, of being able to graphically represent a trend and status, is nice."
"Since the implementation of the tool, it has cut down on probably 60% of our outages and letting us know what is going on."
"The ability to very quickly and graphically navigate around, being able to zoom in to a timeframe, apply it to all the other panels... are all very intuitive."
"It allows us to directly add individual VMs independently."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The most valuable feature of PRTG Network Monitor is the different monitoring probes available."
"The solution is easy to manage and the reports are very accurate."
"The initial setup is pretty easy."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is being able to see things graphically."
"Its proactiveness is its most valuable feature. We already know when we come in, in the morning, if a server or site is down, as opposed to someone telling us."
"The best feature is that it lets me know what is going on. I need to know if something has gone down, I need to know if something is running very slowly. PRTG tells me that."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"Global synchronization errors. Sometimes it just doesn't finish in time due to the load."
"This solution's implementation process could be quicker. They could also optimize the hardware requirements."
"There are some areas in the technology right now, like with VMs, where we are lacking with our abilities to get inside the VM to monitor traffic within the machine."
"It needs role-based administration."
"This may be available by now but for server space, when it comes to the disk file system, I'd like to see that graphically represented, or the trend, rather than what I'm seeing now."
"This tool gathers so much data, which makes it hard to convert over. To upgrade it, you really need the solution backed up. That is the issue that we are facing right now."
"Even though we can see when something is not available, it would also be it would be nice if some sort of alerting took place to that you could know immediately if something went down."
"Since we are out of registered IP space, we are moving to ipv6 and we expect our vendors to move with us, and they have not delivered yet."
"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."
"The technical support service should be improved."
"Maybe in the future there will be room for improvement, but currently, there is nothing pressing that I can think of"
"It would be good if there were better graphical interfaces when you have it on multiple monitors... Because we have so many servers, things can get lost in the fog a little bit. Maybe having a better way of showing different geographies, Flash, etc., would help."
"Needs ability to monitor standard notification time (notify after X time)."
"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."
"Its price can be better. Its price is a problem for us because it is in dollars, and there is a high conversion rate. In terms of new features, it can have BGP monitoring. It should also have a dashboard and maps editor."
"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."
