"We have asked questions of their technical support and they have a very good response time."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is being able to see things graphically."
"PRTG Network Monitor helps us quickly and easily discover a large number of sensors, so we can spend minimal time monitoring customer sites."
"The solution provides us with needed feedback on our IT infrastructure. It gives us really good quality of service when it comes to monitoring of available space and available resources. It allows us to preempt issues before they become a problem for the business."
"I really love the activity library. It gives the flexibility to discover data and metrics about my interface and data server."
"The solution provides us response times to issues."
"The installation is not that complex."
"The features I have found most valuable are log searching and log analytics, both of which are quick features."
"The feature I find most valuable, is the data integration."
"The most valuable feature in this solution is the log searching."
"The ability to create custom dashboards is one of the best features and that's typically why most people deploy Splunk. Users can create dashboards for just about anything."
"It is a great resource for us because we have so many different data sources and to be able to aggregate that and put it through a concise dashboard or an alert really helps."
"It is very easy to monitor multiple cloud environments. It's like a single pane of glass for us. We can use it to monitor our on-prem and both of our cloud environments as opposed to having different tools for each environment. It makes it all come together in one tool."
"The alerts are the most valuable feature."
"The Add data feature lets you gather any type of log and easily analyze it."
"PRTG Network Monitor should improve the NetFlow dashboard, there is no flexibility, and the NetFlow is not meeting the business needs. Additionally, they are missing part of the configuration management."
"Sometimes, it is difficult to drill down further to get information, e.g., if we saw spike in traffic, then we would want to drill down and find out what is causing that spike in traffic."
"We run it in a cluster, so we have two that run together. The cluster behind it is sketchy at times."
"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."
"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."
"When using PRTG Network Monitor it is beneficial if you have prior experience with it, the user interface could improve."
"I've encountered a challenge in my functions, particularly in adding and printing."
"Maybe in the future there will be room for improvement, but currently, there is nothing pressing that I can think of"
"Splunk could be better integrated with configuration manager solutions so we can automatically resolve issues without human interference."
"It's a bit difficult to use. It takes some time to get into it and to get it to do what you would like it to do. It is not straightforward to use it."
"There is a lot of room for improvement with the automation."
"This solution is difficult to configure and the instructions are complex."
"In the next release, I would like to see more integration with other solutions."
"It does not have a user-friendly interface and it is difficult to use."
"Splunk would be better if some tools were integrated to be able to take action on security or network concerns."
"The implementation can be more user-friendly."
