We performed a comparison between PRTG Network Monitor and ScienceLogic based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Network 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."
"Its initial setup process is fast and easy."
"Speed of deployment is one of the most valuable features."
"The product is easy to use and the web interface is fantastic."
"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."
"The sensors and remote probes are phenomenal. We use them for all of our global sites. The problem with our global sites are that they are all VPNs. If the link goes down, you can't monitor other solutions, as it just goes off the grid. Having remote probes allows them to still carry on and get the information that we need when it comes back up, sending the information to us."
"I really love the activity library. It gives the flexibility to discover data and metrics about my interface and data server."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"PRTG is integrated on Windows."
"One of the valuable features is rapid dashboards."
"It has good monitoring capabilities across cloud environments, data centers, and hybrid environments."
"When it comes to features, the power pack is the most valuable."
"The flexibility to support most technologies. The way ScienceLogic gathers data from multiple sources is vital to our customers. As we work with new customers (often with different technology requirements), ScienceLogic is flexible enough to support our clients’ varying network needs."
"The power flow is great."
"The best feature is the highly flexible graphs."
"Dynamic Component Mapping is key and unique."
"It is very easy to configure because we are using an agent-less version. You can very quickly implement a collector for monitoring device servers."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"In terms of sensors and probes, it would be really cool if PRTG had a purely Azure-based solution. We had to install a probe on one of our cloud servers and then let that probe out from there. It would be really cool if it just monitored Azure without having to install something on the device."
"PRTG's application monitoring sensor is not strong."
"When it comes to third-party integration, one of the things we were looking at was putting some sensors onto our firewall, for instance. If there were a little bit more documentation and some step-by-step guides around that, that would be useful for us."
"The icons on PRTG's network diagram are hard to find. For example, finding the icons for firewalls and servers is difficult, so we're struggling to create the network topology."
"The free version only gives us 100 free sensors to use. It would be nice if there was double that."
"I am not sure the solution is giving me all the needed feedback that we need. When something goes off on our IT infrastructure, it does tell me. However, it would be nice if it gave more intuitive information, e.g., the hard drive has gone up by 60 percent in an hour."
"The automation should be improved."
"PRTG Network Monitor needs to show bandwidth utilization in proper graphs. It isn't easy to learn."
"There are often bugs in new releases."
"Addressing duplicate IPs: There is the ability to edit the DB and fix this, but adding some logic to understand them would be a plus."
"ScienceLogic could improve the implementation, it could be made easier."
"They should improve their support process and add chat."
"I would like to see out-of-the-box standard dashboards for common services."
"ScienceLogic does not have application monitoring. We definitely need something integrated within ScienceLogic to monitor applications so that we don't have to rely on monitoring tools to monitor other applications. At least the ones that are market leaders, such as SAP, Oracle, and others."
"The product must educate its strategic partners for deployment."
"One important area we feel could be improved is the UI. It takes a lot of clicks to do very simple tasks."
