We performed a comparison between Nagios Fusion 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."Nagios Fusion version 12.8 excels in user-friendly GUI design, cost-effectiveness, and ease of deployment."
"Being open source lets us customize it for our monitoring needs, saving us money."
"It's very easy to manage and monitor it."
"It is easier for client installation, and the configurations are doable even for a newcomer in the field."
"The bandwidth monitoring is a very attractive feature, it can tell you the bandwidth utilization while it is attempting to connect to the host for feedback."
"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."
"I found PRTG Network Monitor very useful for troubleshooting and monitoring the utilization of either the network or server."
"From a network point of view, we can see the state of the network, as well as bandwidth usage and downtime."
"The most valuable feature of PRTG Network Monitor is its ease of use."
"There is a simplicity to setting up the extra sensors. It's really easy for us to build infrastructure and start monitoring very quickly."
"The most valuable features of PRTG Network Monitor are user-friendly, and the graphical interface is good for all the network devices that are mapped in this organization. It's very easy to find reports for any devices that we are looking for."
"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."
"In future iterations of this solution, there is a desire for more seamless integration with other monitoring software."
"Nagios Fusion should include a 'remember me' option when logging in, so we don't need to enter a username and password every time."
"There are some bugs, although not that many. There are some situations where the solution is not stable but the number of problems is not very high."
"Adding application performance monitoring to the product alongside infrastructure monitoring would make it a more complete and useful solution."
"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 scalability of this solution could improve as well as the automated provisioning of the infrastructure."
"We need something that is more predictive. We would prefer if it wasn't a solution that was corrective and instead offered predictive insights so that we can handle problems before they even occur."
"It probably has this already, but if it had a mobile app that would be helpful. For example, on a day like today when I'm out, if I could just fire it up and see green, green, green, green, green or red, that would be good."
"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."
"PRTG Network Monitor can improve by adding prevention and detection features."
"Users need to buy the more expensive licenses if they expect to be able to scale."
"I would like to see more updates available in this solution."
