We performed a comparison between Grafana Enterprise Stack and PRTG Network Monitor 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."The most valuable features of Grafana for data visualization are its ability to create intuitive dashboards and its wide range of visualization options like graphs, charts, and tables."
"The tool's most valuable feature is real-time monitoring. It helps in securing the application or the node by allowing us to monitor and manage resource consumption during peak times. For instance, from 10 AM to 2 PM, we may experience high memory utilization. It helps us to solve these issues."
"The most valuable feature of Grafana Enterprise Stack is the dashboards."
"The fact that I can use custom MIB files to customize my sensors for the things that are not there as a default is a good feature."
"I like the mobility of the PRTG Network Monitor and ITOps Dashboard."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The sensors and remote probes are phenomenal. We use them for all of our global sites. The problem with our global sites are that they are all VPNs. If the link goes down, you can't monitor other solutions, as it just goes off the grid. Having remote probes allows them to still carry on and get the information that we need when it comes back up, sending the information to us."
"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."
"It is great for service level agreements and can comply fully with internet monitoring or any interface."
"The initial setup is pretty easy."
"From a network point of view, we can see the state of the network, as well as bandwidth usage and downtime."
"The tool needs to show only fewer updates."
"I have encountered occasional issues with false inputs or incorrect data in Grafana."
"The solution should include integration with Power BI."
"Their penetration within the market could be much better. If their pricing was lower, even though it's reasonable now, it might help them achieve this."
"The clustering aspect needs improvement, as there is a bit of confusion about you do when hit that 5000 probe mark."
"They could improve the process of updating the license."
"The solution has to evolve as an end-to-end monitoring solution. It has to do better at understanding the application at the deepest level."
"Performance-wise, PRTG Network Monitor still needs improvement because a large number of SNMPv3 queries reduces tool performance."
"The dashboarding definitely needs improvement."
"I would like to see network mapping."
"Can be slow in the way it polls the different engines."
