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PRTG Network Monitor can be improved because the dashboard themes feel outdated.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

"Since we started using OpMon, we have increased our assertiveness and consequently reduced costs with fewer errors."
"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."
"Overall, this is a very good platform and provides value to the organization."
"It is able to satisfy all our requirements in terms of email notifications and specific errors on the devices."
"The alerting system is very stable, and it's helpful whenever any sensor is down."
"We have gotten weeks and hours back from using the product."
"You will not find anything cheaper that really does the job."
"PRTG Network Monitor offers a single-pane dashboard where we can monitor all the servers on one single screen, helping our team detect a failed server quickly and saving time that was previously spent checking each server manually, which in turn also reduces downtime."
"PRTG has improved our visibility and response time to issues related to remote sites."
"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."
 

Cons

"Infrastructure and business monitoring services need improvement."
"There seems to be a big jump from the basic scan to the really thorough scan."
"In the next release, PRTG Network Monitor should add a backup solution."
"PRTG Network Monitor definitely has room for improvement. They need to change their strategies because it has become relatively expensive compared to what it used to be."
"It would be good if there were better graphical interfaces when you have it on multiple monitors."
"The setup aspect of it and getting devices working needs improvement."
"We would like to monitor certain aspects of the user experience. We should be able to analyze the cause of end user experience, bad or good, so we can do some research and development on our own."
"PRTG Network Monitor needs to show bandwidth utilization in proper graphs. It isn't easy to learn."
"We've had some issues previously with the performance of the sensors. We tend to deploy quite a bit of WMI, which is quite processor-intensive, and we've found that that impacts the sensors quite a bit."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The pricing is very low compared to other solutions."
"One thing I like is that when you buy sensors, it's a perpetual license, so once you buy 2,000 sensors, you've got 2,000 sensors; it's not a recurring cost."
"I rate the licensing for PRTG Network Monitor an eight out of ten."
"We pay for a perpetual license and we have a support fee."
"PRTG Network Monitor's price is a little high."
"At the moment I'm only using 500 sensors. I pay yearly, so it's a cost that's easily swallowed."
"Right now, the smallest sensor pack that they have is just a bit out of range for me, as a business. This kills me, as I need the product. Therefore, there is always a balance between needing to buy it or continuing their free version."
"We pay for PRTG Network Monitor annually. The price is approximately 10,000 rupees annually."
