Provides a stable solution but would improve by developing an all-in-one-solution
The advice I would give to anyone looking at implementing Netreo into their organization would be to do your market research and evaluate the product, do not just choose it because someone recommends it to you. Overall, from my perspective, I would rate the solution a seven out of ten.

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PRTG Network Monitor can be improved because the dashboard themes feel outdated.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 technical support team at Netreo is pretty good."
"The most valuable feature is the notifications, as long as you spend time and think about what and when you want to be notified, it's always accurate, it is always there, and I find things out before my Internet provider."
"The pricing of the solution is pretty good; we don't find it too unreasonable, and it offers good integration capabilities with an initial setup that was easy and rolled out smoothly."
"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."
"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."
"The solution has definitely saved us time and money."
"PRTG has improved our visibility and response time to issues related to remote sites."
"The feature whereby it shows when my hard drives are moving towards thresholds that would be considered outages, before they reach that point - that is valuable."
"I'd advise people not to waste one more moment and start using it immediately."
 

Cons

"The scalability of Netreo is lacking."
"Once you start going above 5000 sensors, things do start to get a bit shaky. There are some best practice out there that you will need to adopt and be aware of."
"PRTG Network Monitor can improve by adding prevention and detection features."
"In terms of sensors and probes, it would be really cool if PRTG had a purely Azure-based solution. We had to install a probe on one of our cloud servers and then let that probe out from there. It would be really cool if it just monitored Azure without having to install something on the device."
"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."
"It's very good for monitoring our internal infrastructure, but we're using more cloud services now."
"It needs to have more monitoring on end-user devices."
"This solution is a good product so far, but I haven't been using it long enough to know how it could be improved."
"PRTG's documentation could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"Our licensing costs are 10,000 euros over three years."
"I'm paying something like €1000 per year for the maintenance. I've got unlimited sensors."
"Sensors on free version can run out quick."
"We pay for PRTG Network Monitor annually. The price is approximately 10,000 rupees annually."
"The ability to use the base version with 100 free sensors is great. The cost on other packages can be very reasonable."
"We pay for a perpetual license and we have a support fee."
"The price was pretty good, very competitive."

Nagios vs. Zabbix vs. PRTG vs. Spiceworks vs. Solarwinds Network Performance Monitor
