Alerting precision has reduced incident response times and improved department-level network visibility
The auto-pause sensor during the maintenance window is good without any false alerts, and it prevents me from getting flooded with alerts during planned maintenance, helping department heads understand their own network usage better. It has reduced incident response time by giving clearer ownership of each alert, ensuring alerts go to the proper recipient. SNMP testers and auto-pause are among the best features of PRTG Network Monitor, which is particularly useful for different departments such as HR and finance, where alerts can be filtered accordingly. The alerting features and dashboard of PRTG Network Monitor are very helpful, especially in our industry. However, the dashboard can look cluttered on smaller screens, which is one negative aspect. PRTG Network Monitor has impacted us positively; we have stopped getting flooded with alerts during planned maintenance or unplanned outages. Compared to others, this gives specific alerts very quickly and helps department heads understand their own network usage better, thus reducing incident response time so that each alert has clear ownership.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"As a consulting company we implement management solutions to a large variety of companies and after working with OpMon our project time was reduced and we can offer a different solution to each customer."
"Since we started using OpMon, we have increased our assertiveness and consequently reduced costs with fewer errors."
"The network visualization helps us to drill down deeper."
"The solution is scalable."
"My advice to those wanting to purchase a monitoring solution with simple and easy-to-use features, go with this solution."
"PRTG Network Monitor's best features are its flexibility, ease of implementation, user-friendliness, and intuitive interfaces."
"To others who are interested in using this solution, I would recommend it, it's a decent product."
"The most valuable feature of PRTG Network Monitor is its ease of use."
"The initial setup was surprisingly easy, the way the menus are all laid out."
"The feature set is brilliant; it does everything that we need it to do, and if it doesn't, then there is a nice forum that we can jump on."
 

Cons

"Infrastructure and business monitoring services need improvement."
"Can be slow in the way it polls the different engines."
"The performance of the monitoring is outdated and when they have upgraded the tools in the past, it slows down the performance."
"They could improve the process of updating the license."
"PRTG Network Monitor could improve by having descriptions for the tab usages. The dashboards or interface could be easier to understand."
"PRTG Network Monitor could improve interaction with customers by offering direct support involvement instead of just mail responses."
"The free version only gives us 100 free sensors to use. It would be nice if there was double that."
"PRTG does not allow us to scan devices like we can scan software or another problem in it. Also, I cannot draw graphical graphs in Woodview/look. Another problem is that we cannot draw a good diagram in PRTG."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The pricing is comparable."
"When you have a lot of devices, PRTG Network Monitor can be costly."
"The price of PRTG Network Monitor is reasonable for the features that the solution provides. They charge you per monitoring, not per node, it is per port that you need for a device."
"We have unlimited devices and sensors, and it is a bit pricey, but we do have unlimited sensors. With all things considered the price is fine, related to the solution itself. PRTG Network Monitor is good value for money."
"We've got the unlimited package... I believe it was around the £15,000 per year mark."
"In my company now, we are using the free version."
"While I am not the person who deals with pricing, I would say that we pay around 1000 pounds a year."
"We are using the premium version of PRTG Network Monitor. The price of the solution is a bit higher than competitors but it is worth the extra money. However, it would be helpful if the price was lower."
