Helps us provide visibility into network performance, capacity planning, and cost analysis
Better support and more accessible resources are crucial. Customers have expressed that support is not as flexible, and it is difficult to obtain necessary information quickly. Customers would benefit from improved training material for integration with other products. The solution's pricing is high and needs to be reconsidered, and the technical support should improve to provide more accessible and open information.

Proactive monitoring has reduced network downtime and enables rapid incident response
The main benefits PRTG Enterprise Monitor provides for us include helping us respond quickly to network problems. For our virtualization switches, we normally use a different vendor, but I am not in charge of that particular system. I have not really used the pre-configured sensors feature in PRTG. A different team handles reporting. For now, nothing really comes to mind regarding additional functions for PRTG. I think it is good for what we use it for. I cannot really say much about technical support because I have never had a situation where I have to reach out. I would give PRTG Enterprise Monitor a final rating of eight. I would definitely recommend PRTG Enterprise Monitor to other users. I am an end user of the product. I am quite satisfied with the alerting part of PRTG, as it is quite good.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"CA UIM meets all of these at a less expensive price than the other large vendors."
"The primary benefit for us at this stage in our approach is that we've been able to cut outages by about 300%."
"DX Unified Infrastructure Management offers visibility into network activities, integration capacity, and enhances monitoring at the core and application levels."
"It reduced cycles for a lot of quick out-of-the-box functionality. It also allowed us to get away from being stuck in SNMP, VTP V2, based off of agent deployment."
"For the past year, the tool has been quite stable in our environment, so I enjoy working with it."
"We find UIM's valuable features to be its flexibility, the fact that it’s easy to expand, and it supports multi-tenancy."
"It's allowed us to get better coverage with our monitoring and to consolidate all monitoring into one solution."
"We are able to configure alert by client requirements and can see those alert with a lot of detail."
"It provides a vast array of options for dashboard creation and monitoring of the activities within the environment."
"The product's most valuable feature is network analysis."
"It can identify downtimes and disruptions."
"The solution's ability to monitor each and every aspect of our devices, such as memory utilization and port connectivity, is valuable."
"The product is easy to use and you don't need to have any training. You can use it even if you don't have an IT background."
"PRTG is good and very easy to use."
"If an event is detected, such as a resource running low on storage or RAM, the product will notify you via email. Upon receiving the notification, action must be taken to address and resolve the issue. The feature I find most effective is its comprehensive nature. It's like having a permanent eye monitoring the network and all its nodes. Instead of manual monitoring, it detects anomalies automatically and alerts us accordingly."
"The product is easy to understand."
 

Cons

"One of the things we'd like to see is a more streamline and baseline reporting mechanism."
"The biggest concern stability wise falls under UMP, the management protocol. We’ve had a hard time bringing it up and keeping it stable."
"Parts of the Unified Management Portal are not written in HTML5. I would like all components (Portlets) to be HTML5."
"I would like to see a little deeper application monitoring and maybe some of the capabilities of CA Spectrum."
"I would really like to see HTML5. I spoke with a couple of developers about it. I'd also like to see additional monitoring so we can push rules a little bit easier."
"Customer Service: Poor when compared to other CA groups I have worked with. Technical Support: First line - excellent. Getting beyond first line - a battle."
"Overall, I’d say they’re fairly good. I think when compared to a couple of years ago, support has gone down a bit rather than up."
"A useful feature to have would be automatic configuration per standard by new robots that check in for any particular customer."
"In my opinion, one area that could be improved in PRTG Enterprise Monitor is the capability to send SMS notifications. Notifications are crucial for alerting us to areas that require attention."
"There could be more security features included in PRTG Enterprise Monitor."
"PRTG Enterprise Monitor should include more functionalities and features that are similar to SolarWinds."
"There is no unified monitoring in PRTG. It needs a lot of improvement in terms of integration."
"Regarding the pricing aspect, we used to pay 5,000 dollars for PRTG Enterprise Monitor. Given that we scaled it up and there's a new pricing model, it increased to 14,000 dollars."
"The solution could be improved by introducing security features similar to those available in Teams, as the current version only monitors devices and does not integrate IoT or OT devices."
"The solution could be improved by including a processing monitor, possibly with a language interface like Lua, allowing for writing custom sensors and processing outcomes of inputs."
"They should work on minimizing false positives by sending alerts promptly and confirming errors with minimal troubleshooting requirements."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The product-price ratio is better than other brands such as Fortinet or SonicWall."
"Reasonable setup cost and licensing prices."
"This product is expensive compared to other vendors (SolarWinds, ManageEngine)."
"The license cost depends on the number of probes and robots."
"CAD $400,000 annually."
"The solution is affordable."
"The pricing is $2,149 for software without maintenance, and licenses are sold in the minimum bundle of 500 interfaces."
"PRTG Enterprise Monitor is an expensive product."
"PRTG Enterprise Monitor's pricing is reasonable."
"I rate the product's pricing an eight to seven out of ten."
