Søren Overgaard Bendtsen

IT Director at CGL Pack Annecy S.A.S.

Monitoring has provided factual end‑to‑end insights and supports proactive incident response

From using HPE Aruba Networking UXI, I have access to real numbers for latency, packet drops, and other metrics. We also have a pretty intensive alerting mechanism that works on specific IPs for all our sites that are pinging, so if they are not reachable, we will have an alert and an incident created. I assess the value of HPE Aruba Networking UXI's application visibility in enhancing network performance as great. HPE Aruba Networking UXI's remote troubleshooting capabilities help me manage my distributed networks in a great way because we are not relying on user input. We are relying on real facts from HPE Aruba Networking UXI devices that are placed end-of-line on all our factories.

Madhan Cs

Senior consultant at Cambridge Institute of Technology

Has reduced troubleshooting time and improved issue detection through sensor alerts and team collaboration

PRTG Network Monitor can be improved because the dashboard themes feel outdated. It should be updated to a newer version for the new Gen Z customers. The notification sound options are limited unless customized. Restarting probes after Windows updates is necessary, and there should be some kind of automatic restart. The initial auto-discovery added too many unnecessary sensors, so auto-discovery should only take the necessary sensors into consideration.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature of HP Aruba Networking UX-I is its 24/7 monitoring capability."

"There was definitely an ROI with the use cases I have had; when you see that the network issues and trouble tickets that are opening start to decrease, that is where your ROI starts coming in regarding productivity."

"The integration of HPE Aruba Networking UXI with other security and networking tools is quite robust, allowing us to collect information from firewalls, routers, access points, and more, and present it through Grafana to proactively address issues before clients open support tickets."

"Aruba products have significantly improved our network reliability, as none of my teammates have logged a call to Aruba in the past year."

"The performance, elasticity, and efficiency of Aruba products have been exceptional."

"HPE Aruba Networking UXI's remote troubleshooting capabilities help me manage my distributed networks in a great way because we are not relying on user input and are relying on real facts from HPE Aruba Networking UXI devices that are placed end-of-line on all our factories."

"We did some research, found PRTG, and I spoke to another company that used it, they really loved it so we went ahead got the free license initially, did a trial, found it absolutely amazing, and then bought it."

"It has made our infrastructure more reliable."

"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 found PRTG Network Monitor very useful for troubleshooting and monitoring the utilization of either the network or server."

"Our users perceive it as our being able to provide a very high level of service because we're avoiding situations where they suffer downtime."

"I'd advise people not to waste one more moment and start using it immediately."

"We like the solution's report writing and the way that it compiles the system's information from around the network and brings it all back into the central site and the interface."

"The reporting module is easy to configure."

Cons

"It would be beneficial if the tool offered a less expensive subscription as it is currently costly for our clients."

"They could improve their services."

"Some manual administrative tasks still need to be triggered manually, leading to lower efficiency."

"Areas where the HPE Aruba Networking UXI can improve include the integration of SD-WAN and security in a single solution."

"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."

"From time to time, you need to reboot the PRTG probe server."

"I wouldn't mind better categories for the sensors. When I go to add a new sensor for a new device, there are some categories in there already, and they can be filtered out, but there's quite a large pool of sensors... When I want to go in and find something quite specific, I have got to scroll down and scroll down to find what I'm actually looking for,"

"A room for improvement in PRTG Network Monitor is its sensors. Its application technology sensor, such as the IAS, .NET, etc., needs some improvement because it doesn't work as expected. For example, the IAS sensor doesn't give immediate information, and the information you get from it isn't of good value. The web GUI of PRTG Network Monitor also needs improvement because errors keep popping up if it's not been updated to the latest version. What I'd like to see in the next release of the tool is end-to-end topology mapping for the business model, and that should be required. There has to be a technical map. Technical mapping and topological creation are missing in PRTG Network Monitor, so I would like to see those in the future."

"We run it in a cluster, so we have two that run together. The cluster behind it is sketchy at times."

"The remote probes seem to be a little bit buggy at times. They just stop working or they say they can't communicate. What we tend to do to is install the remote app onto the servers that we use. That seems to clear it up."

"The thing that we do struggle with a bit is in the historic data. If I want look over 30 days, because it averages out onto one graph, you can't zoom in and drill down information."

"Although they are fairly comprehensive with what you can do with them, the mapping and dashboards are a bit clunky to set up."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"Our licensing costs are 10,000 euros over three years."

"We pay for a perpetual license and we have a support fee."

"The pricing is not too bad. It's not massively expensive, and the ability to upscale or even downscale licenses every year is brilliant for us."

"Licenses are very expensive, so I would like to see cheaper licensing."

"The price of PRTG Network Monitor is reasonable."

"PRTG is now available as PRTG Enterprise Monitor, and the price varies depending on the total number of sensors the customer buys"

"We have an unlimited perpetual license, so we just pay support costs and it can scale throughout the organization."

"I rate the price of PRTG Network Monitor an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is a high price, and ten is a low price."
