Tanveer Khalid - PeerSpot reviewer
Infrastructure monitoring provides comprehensive and proactive alerts
One of the valuable features of this site is that it operates 24/7, monitoring my entire infrastructure, uptime, and related error issues. For example, it can monitor my network switches. The feature includes IP SLA to assess IP-based connections like static IPs. An alert is generated if issues occur, monitored through email notifications. It can also monitor Kubernetes, containers, FTP servers, and MSP features. The self-healing automation capability is also included.

Detects suden changes but significant pricing concerns affect the effectiveness of network traffic troubleshooting
We use PRTG Network Monitor for monitoring traffic on interfaces and the behavior of network traffic. If there are sudden changes in traffic or any configuration issues, we can sort them out using PRTG. It's very helpful for troubleshooting and monitoring traffic utilization on our interfaces…

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

Pros

"One of the valuable features of this site is that it operates 24/7, monitoring my entire infrastructure, uptime, and related error issues."
"Site24x7 stands out. It is truly amazing."
"It gives me a live view of the traffic on the WAN."
"The solution is scalable."
"The product is easy to use and the web interface is fantastic."
"It is a very stable solution. There are no bugs, glitches and we have not experienced any crashing."
"It improves the status of my infrastructure, from networking devices to real-time machines."
"The reporting module is easy to configure."
"Technical support has been very helpful so far."
"The sensors and probes are great, nice and lightweight, they don't take up too many resources on the system. We just deploy them out and they start reporting instantly."
 

Cons

"The product is not difficult to use. That said, it is technical. The engineer must be familiar with it."
"It is technical. The engineer must be familiar with it."
"PRTG Network Monitor can improve the reports. In the reports, you have to give an alert for that SMS and email, the emergency calls and downtimes have to be reported accordingly. You have to enable email services or an SMS gateway service to receive more alerts at the proper time."
"PRTG Network Monitor should improve the NetFlow dashboard, there is no flexibility, and the NetFlow is not meeting the business needs. Additionally, they are missing part of the configuration management."
"The user interface could be more modern as it is quite dated. PRTG Network Monitor can sometimes be too detailed and cluttered at the beginning, making it heavy to use."
"PRTG could use reporting tools and mobile alert tools. It should be easier to diagnose and respond to problems from a mobile device on the go."
"The product could be improved by being cross-platform friendly."
"The free version only gives us 100 free sensors to use. It would be nice if there was double that."
"I know we're going to move to Docker applications and I understand that PRTG does some monitoring regarding this. I do not know if it is complete. If it's not yet complete, it's something they should consider improving."
"When using PRTG Network Monitor it is beneficial if you have prior experience with it, the user interface could improve."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We are satisfied with the price."
"When you have a lot of devices, PRTG Network Monitor can be costly."
"It is expensive."
"On a yearly basis, I believe it's between £1,200 and £1,500."
"PRTG Network Monitor is cheap."
"We are licensed for 2500 endpoints."
"We are using the basic PRTG that we can download for free. For now, we only need to monitor less than 100 devices. For more than 100 devices, we would need to buy a license. PRTG is much cheaper than SolarWinds."
"I'm paying something like €1000 per year for the maintenance. I've got unlimited sensors."
