Alerting precision has reduced incident response times and improved department-level network visibility
The auto-pause sensor during the maintenance window is good without any false alerts, and it prevents me from getting flooded with alerts during planned maintenance, helping department heads understand their own network usage better. It has reduced incident response time by giving clearer ownership of each alert, ensuring alerts go to the proper recipient. SNMP testers and auto-pause are among the best features of PRTG Network Monitor, which is particularly useful for different departments such as HR and finance, where alerts can be filtered accordingly. The alerting features and dashboard of PRTG Network Monitor are very helpful, especially in our industry. However, the dashboard can look cluttered on smaller screens, which is one negative aspect. PRTG Network Monitor has impacted us positively; we have stopped getting flooded with alerts during planned maintenance or unplanned outages. Compared to others, this gives specific alerts very quickly and helps department heads understand their own network usage better, thus reducing incident response time so that each alert has clear ownership.

Advanced AI-driven monitoring has strengthened investigations and now prioritizes critical threats
I would not say there is anything that could be better in SentinelOne Singularity AI SIEM; I think we have seen something unique in the product. This product has the potential to add more SOC functionality on top of its SIEM, which can automate a few more things because I have the information there. I need to do what I would call security agents or agentic AI to be built on top; it can take care of a lot more analysis and actions. Maybe licensing cost can also be looked at and reduced. We are still to see the automated feature work a little bit more; we are not really using it to the full extent.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is easy when it comes to dependencies of devices, so if your router goes down, the three or four switches behind it will automatically be paused so that you don't get multiple alerts."
"The solution has definitely saved us time and money."
"The support is fantastic."
"I can customize the port as per my need and the real-time monitoring feature that is already provided to me."
"The features I like the most about PRTG Network Monitor are its NetFlow Collector and graphical monitoring functions."
"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, and additionally it is user-friendly, customizable, and there are many features available."
"The installation is not that complex."
"The solution has excellent redundant features."
"After using SentinelOne Singularity AI SIEM, it has reduced our incident response time by forty to fifty percent compared to other tools."
"When they face attacks such as ransomware and are dissatisfied with their existing solutions, they switch to SentinelOne Singularity AI SIEM, which is quite good in detecting unknown threats, cleaning the system, and handling ransomware."
"SentinelOne Singularity AI SIEM's AI-powered analytics does affect our SOC's ability to reduce false positives; that is one of the biggest advantages because the manpower that I have is limited."
"AI-driven capabilities will give me real-time detection and will protect my autonomous AI interruption."
"Overall, I would assess the overall security posture after implementing SentinelOne Singularity AI SIEM as significantly better."
 

Cons

"I would like to see network mapping."
"Sometimes, our PRTG Network Monitor system crashes and a lot of sensors go down."
"PRTG Network Monitor could improve the price."
"There seems to be a big jump from the basic scan to the really thorough scan. There is a big jump in the quantity of sensors it uses for certain things. One minute you might get ten and then the next you get 200. There seems to be a big jump between the two at times."
"It probably has this already, but if it had a mobile app that would be helpful. For example, on a day like today when I'm out, if I could just fire it up and see green, green, green, green, green or red, that would be good."
"When using PRTG Network Monitor it is beneficial if you have prior experience with it, the user interface could improve."
"The performance of the monitoring is outdated and when they have upgraded the tools in the past, it slows down the performance."
"PRTG Network Monitor needs to enhance network performance monitoring."
"SentinelOne Singularity AI SIEM has some performance and reliability issues that need improvement."
"In AI SIEM, the areas that have room for improvement are the parsers for third-party integrated data or for third-party data sources that are not native integrations, which could be made a bit easier."
"Another area for improvement is that the product is somewhat expensive. Pricing could be improved as well."
"At the moment, I feel the pricing is a little bit on the higher side, but the tool is positioned in a place where risk is very high, and we do not want to take chances, so we are prepared to pay the premium."
"It is quite good, but the only downside is that it is costly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is comparable."
"The ability to use the base version with 100 free sensors is great. The cost on other packages can be very reasonable."
"Licenses are very expensive, so I would like to see cheaper licensing."
"We are satisfied with the price."
"I rate the licensing for PRTG Network Monitor an eight out of ten."
"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."
"All monitoring system is close to the same pricing scheme."
"We are using the premium version of PRTG Network Monitor. The price of the solution is a bit higher than competitors but it is worth the extra money. However, it would be helpful if the price was lower."
