Executive SummaryUpdated on Mar 9, 2025

PRTG Network Monitor and Oracle Infrastructure Monitoring Cloud Service compete in the network monitoring domain. PRTG has the upper hand in pricing and support, while Oracle offers superior features, providing good value despite higher costs.

Features: PRTG Network Monitor offers extensive real-time network monitoring, flexible alerting, and customizable dashboards. Oracle Infrastructure Monitoring Cloud Service provides impressive integration capabilities with other Oracle products, scalability, and comprehensive cloud infrastructure monitoring. The notable difference is Oracle's strength in complex cloud environments versus PRTG's focus on customizable local network monitoring.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: PRTG Network Monitor is known for its straightforward installation and dedicated customer support, making it easy to set up and configure. Oracle Infrastructure Monitoring Cloud Service integrates seamlessly with Oracle's ecosystem but may require more technical expertise and support during deployment.

Offers real-time alerting and dashboards are great for performance hubs of the database

It's primarily for CPU utilization and resource monitoring. Vulnerability scanning falls under OCI Cloud Guard, so it's related to security concerns. Some people might prefer using a third-party tool for more enhanced features. However, I think Oracle Infrastructure Monitoring Cloud Service could be improved to reduce the need for third-party connectivity. So overall, third-party connectivity is the part that needs improvement within Oracle Infrastructure Monitoring Cloud Service. OCI needs more research and development to understand why clients choose third-party tools like Splunk or QRadar over internal monitoring solutions. There must be some areas where third-party tools are better. OCI could analyze this and improve its service.

Efficiently monitor networks across regions with seamless setup and robust feature set

PRTG Network Monitor is easy to set up. Within a few minutes, it is operational. It is an all-in-one monitoring solution without extra costs. For example, we set it up for an insurance company with branches across Africa. We are able to monitor from Lagos without installing anything in the branches, using the agentless feature. We just put in the IP address and the parameter, and we monitor from those ends. Additionally, all the sensors are very useful. Most people are interested in the bandwidth monitoring sensor to see what bandwidth the users are consuming. The pricing is affordable compared to SolarWinds.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Real-time alerting is a very important feature. We need alerts for everything. We have alarms setup and get alerts through email or third-party integrations depending on what's happening – critical VMs, high CPU usage, security concerns."

"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."

"PRTG Network Monitor helps us quickly and easily discover a large number of sensors, so we can spend minimal time monitoring customer sites."

"The most valuable features of PRTG Network Monitor are the threshold notification when certain traffic increases and goes beyond the defined threshold. The up and down status email notifications and other notifications are useful. Additionally, it is user-friendly, and customizable, and there are many features available."

"The initial setup is very simple."

"The solution is easy to manage and the reports are very accurate."

"PRTG Network Monitor is a very stable product."

"Every monitoring session features similar capabilities."

"The most valuable feature of PRTG Network Monitor is real-time monitoring."

Cons

"Third-party connectivity is the part that needs improvement within Oracle Infrastructure Monitoring Cloud Service."

"They should work on syncing the solution with Gmail."

"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."

"In our organization, we encounter performance issues with our PRTG probe service. I saw documentation from the vendor or Paessler mentioning that there are limitations for WMI sensors. Other than that, we are okay with PRTG."

"Maybe in the future there will be room for improvement, but currently, there is nothing pressing that I can think of"

"PRTG Network Monitor is okay to use, but you'll need some time to analyze the data. If it can automatically locate or identify the problem area, it would be more helpful to users."

"Needs ability to monitor standard notification time (notify after X time)."

"When using PRTG Network Monitor it is beneficial if you have prior experience with it, the user interface could improve."

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"For monitoring specifically, it's not that expensive. The licensing is yearly basis."

"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 are satisfied with the price."

"I'm paying something like €1000 per year for the maintenance. I've got unlimited sensors."

"There is a license to use PRTG Network Monitor and it is annually."

"PRTG Network Monitor's price is a little high."

"We pay nothing for it. Its 100 sensors have allowed us to put a magnifying glass on some systems, providing an extra layer of detail. Therefore, our outgoing is nothing and our incoming is a lot of useful data that we can react to proactively."

"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."

"The pricing for PRTG in our case is reasonable because we have a lot of applications to monitor within PRTG. It is not that expensive."

Overview

Oracle Infrastructure Monitoring Cloud Service is a software-as-a-service solution that monitors the status and health of your entire IT infrastructure - on-premises or on the cloud - from a single platform. Proactive monitoring across all your infrastructure tiers enables you to be alerted on issues, troubleshoot and resolve these before they impact end users.

Oracle

PRTG Network Monitor runs on a Windows machine within your network, collecting various statistics from the machines, software, and devices which you designate. PRTG comes with an easy-to-use web interface with point-and-click configuration. You can easily share data from it with non-technical colleagues and customers, including via live graphs and custom reports. This will let you plan for network expansion, see what applications are using most of your connection, and make sure that no one is hogging the entire network just to torrent videos.

To monitor a large IT environment, it's important to be able to scale PRTG up. Paessler PRTG Enterprise Monitor includes all the proven capabilities of PRTG Network Monitor, which are enhanced by exclusive ITOps Board for a service-oriented, central overview of multiple PRTG servers.
