We performed a comparison between Opsview and PRTG Network Monitor based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud Monitoring Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"It's a good solution. It covers all aspects of monitoring purposes."
"The most valuable feature of Opsview is the ability to clone the services when you're monitoring something out of the test setup."
"I am satisfied with the overall product since it works well…It is a stable solution."
"We use this solution for internal monitoring our own cloud platform because we are a public cloud provider. We also use it for monitoring purposes on behalf of our clients."
"What was very compelling about OpsView was that we could dial out the noise and have meaningful and actionable alerts."
"PRTG is relatively intuitive and fairly straightforward. It has net flow monitoring and that works all right. I would describe it as a decent middle-of-the-road solution."
"Accessibility, ease of use (Web GUI, MobileApps). In general, compared with other software"
"The email notifications are helpful, and the dashboards are user-friendly for people with little network monitoring knowledge."
"The most valuable feature of PRTG Network Monitor is real-time monitoring."
"It is a very stable solution. There are no bugs, glitches and we have not experienced any crashing."
"It is nice to have one place where all the information is right there in front of us."
"From a network point of view, we can see the state of the network, as well as bandwidth usage and downtime."
"It is very flexible, and we can monitor many aspects of IT as well as ERP and CRM services. It has a very powerful interface and APIs for customization."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"Pricing and a few certain aspects in the solution needs to be improved."
"Customized reporting can be improved."
"Some of the graphics on Opsview could be improved."
"Maybe the graphical representation can be improved. It can be enhanced for better visualization. It could be a little better. And the graph center can be improved."
"In a future release, we would like to have Observ for AI. Any AI and intelligence it can add to the monitoring is obviously beneficial. We would also like to have automated callouts."
"The Desktop app is good but it can be really sluggish at times, especially when you're editing different elements."
"The dashboarding definitely needs improvement."
"Needs ability to monitor standard notification time (notify after X time)."
"Technical support is an area with concerns in PRTG Network Monitor, where improvements are required."
"It would be good if there were better graphical interfaces when you have it on multiple monitors... Because we have so many servers, things can get lost in the fog a little bit. Maybe having a better way of showing different geographies, Flash, etc., would help."
"PRTG access works best from the web GUI. There are dedicated apps on Windows/Android/iOS, but they are slow and don’t work as well as the web GUI."
"Scalability is the only major sticking point for me. There is a recommended number of sensors, which is around 10,000 and we're double that... The only option we have to scale is to buy another core, which would be a separate, stand-alone instance..."
"More training videos for installing and configuring this software would have been nice, especially when working with a lot of devices."
