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.

AI-driven monitoring has improved real-time threat detection but still needs better automation
I could see some workflows, but I am unable to do automated workflows. For example, some repetitive jobs or repetitive tasks I am doing, but I am trying to have less manual intervention on the front. I am raising some issues that should be resolvable. The SentinelOne team has told me that this can be resolved within a couple of months, but they are saying that it is in future for enhancement and it may take some time. So far, the numbers are great. Regarding disadvantages or areas for improvement, I could say that 35 percent of my manual effort can be detected since I implemented it very recently. I could be able to say my current data talks about only 35 percent, and it may improve further, as I am expecting. But I can only comment based on my alerts and events. The adoption rate will be less compared to other products, as this can be a time-taken process because all my data needs to be offloaded and the system needs to understand my existing alerts, logs, and other things. This will take some more time, probably another month. Another area for improvement is that the product is somewhat expensive. Pricing could be improved as well.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The pricing of the solution is pretty good; we don't find it too unreasonable, and it offers good integration capabilities with an initial setup that was easy and rolled out smoothly."
"It has provided us with early warning for potential issues and has stopped potential downtime before it occurs."
"It is nice to have one place where all the information is right there in front of us."
"We like the alerting system, the SNMP monitoring and the customization of the bandwidth."
"Over the approximately two years that the company has been using this product, it has been very stable."
"We're more proactive. Usually, we already know when something has gone down by the time we get the phone calls."
"I can customize the port as per my need and the real-time monitoring feature that is already provided to me."
"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."
"AI-driven capabilities will give me real-time detection and will protect my autonomous AI interruption."
"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."
"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."
"After using SentinelOne Singularity AI SIEM, it has reduced our incident response time by forty to fifty percent compared to other tools."
"Overall, I would assess the overall security posture after implementing SentinelOne Singularity AI SIEM as significantly better."
 

Cons

"It would be nice if it gave us alerts via Gmail or SMS message."
"Scalability is the only major sticking point for me."
"It's very good for monitoring our internal infrastructure, but we're using more cloud services now."
"When you email the support team, they take three to seven days to respond and resolve simple issues."
"It's expensive to maintain."
"PRTG can fix that, but it's only good for small workloads."
"The technical support service should be improved."
"PRTG Network Monitor needs to enhance network performance monitoring."
"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."
"SentinelOne Singularity AI SIEM has some performance and reliability issues that need improvement."
"It is quite good, but the only downside is that it is costly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"If you are not too sure about it, try the free version. Then, if you like it, you can go to the paid version and roll it out."
"The price of PRTG is reasonable. PRTG's competitors like SolarWinds and ManageEngine charge more for the same functionality."
"PRTG Network Monitor is cheap."
"I would like better pricing models for smaller businesses. The free version is fantastic, but it's too restrictive. If they could just get up to 200 sensors for a reasonable fee for on-premise, I would give PRTG my credit card right now."
"I rate the price of PRTG Network Monitor an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is a high price, and ten is a low price."
"We used a product called SolarWinds in the past, and its cost was high. Whereas, PRTG came in at a third of SolarWind's cost."
"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."
"The pricing is okay and it is cheaper than some competing products."

Nagios vs. Zabbix vs. PRTG vs. Spiceworks vs. Solarwinds Network Performance Monitor
I have researched a quite a few network monitoring tools which can be used for various monitoring purposes of not only the servers, but the intermediate routers as well. There are majorly three types of these softwares. Ones which are completely open-source, you can do almost anything you want…
