We performed a comparison between Oracle SOA Suite and PRTG Network Monitor based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, F5, Apache and others in Application Infrastructure."Enables our Product Manager to post products to different outside EC platforms with only one interface and one process."
"The product provides transparency in finances."
"This is one of the critical products for my company and we use it extensively. We currently use each and every feature of Oracle SOA."
"The most valuable features for us are the APIs, which we commonly use, as well as the scheduling capabilities and file transfers."
"The stability of the solution is the most valuable feature."
"Middleware jobs developing for EC, ERP, and shipping systems become easier."
"Provides connectivity between discrete systems and has availability."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the option to design, and the development can happen at the same time."
"The reporting module is easy to configure."
"What I've found most valuable is the custom sensor, which allows you to write scripts or code to monitor a specific metric in your environment."
"The most valuable feature is the dashboard interface. It's very clean, it's very simple to use."
"It has made our infrastructure more reliable."
"The technical support seems to be quick, clever, and has a comprehensive knowledge base online, which is fantastic."
"The initial setup was easy. We didn't have any issues with the process and everything rolled out smoothly."
"It's very easy to manage when you've got time to do some work on it: things like adding devices, adding groups, adding sensor clusters, and being able to clone and move stuff around."
"It is a user-friendly solution."
"An important area that can be improved is the product's data monitoring. When we use the solution for interfacing or end-to-end data monitoring, we want to know exactly where the data is going and exactly where it is failing, or where there is an issue."
"The solution’s initial setup is complex and could be improved."
"Other solutions might be better componets such as Salesforce."
"Decrease the number of internal resources which the product uses."
"They supply lots of documentation but finding what we need is challenging at times."
"Its function options can be improved."
"Various parts of SOA, BPEL, and so on, each have their own consoles which need to be accessed individually with different logins. It would be better from an admin perspective if all the consoles were accessible via a single login."
"Another area of improvement is performance. Because with multiple solutions connecting to the SOA platform, the performance of the SOA platform can be affected in time. So, that could be one area that could be improved with the SOA."
"The database needs improvement."
"In a very few cases, customers want more detailed reports, which we cannot meet."
"I would like to have a VM version that can be installed on a cloud such as Azure. We're using Azure, and we're eliminating on-premise servers. It would be helpful to have a PRTG version that can be installed on the Azure cloud."
"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."
"More training videos for installing and configuring this software would have been nice, especially when working with a lot of devices."
"They should work on syncing the solution with Gmail."
"PRTG Network Monitor could improve the price."
"I would like to see Office 365 monitoring. Essentially, it doesn't do it. I assumed not at all, but apparently it does it slightly. However, due to issues with APIs, they currently don't provide full monitoring for O365."

Hi,
I've no experience with PRTG, but you can find that on their site:
www.paessler.com
I used to practice some time ago Nagios, on Linux boxes with web Logic, and
it adapted well to our needs.
I'm no longer experimenting with supervision tools as i switched to backup and
storage.

PRTG is a network monitoring tool that uses SNMP protocol. You can configure weblogic server to use SNMP protocol to communicate with PRTG using agents.
The same thing for Oracle ESB, by enabling SNMP traps in the Oracle Servcie bus.
I think your business requirement as well as budget, will determine which
monitoring tool you can use.
I think all network monitoring tools, using SNMP traps, can do the job. Any SW or applications can build an SNMP traps to communicate with the monitoring tool.
You can consult Oracle's manuals for more details.
I hope this will be helpful.
All the best,
Ashraf Galal
