Find out in this report how the two IT Infrastructure Monitoring solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The Slack integration is fantastic, and I've actually found it to be very useful recently."
"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."
"It is pretty simple to use, which is always a good thing. It's been very reliable in updating us if any issues crop up."
"PRTG gives us true visibility of the downtime of particular circuit functions. So if a circuit is up but not routing traffic, I will know with this tool. I can write a customized script for a sensor to detect specific things."
"Stable and scalable network monitoring tool. Installation is simple and straightforward."
"We have asked questions of their technical support and they have a very good response time."
"Nice product with an easy interface to use and a large variety of sensors."
"The most valuable features of PRTG Network Monitor are bandwidth utilization, user-friendliness, all past report simple retrievals, and timeout features. Additionally, if the solution does go down it is simple to bring it back."
"The Add data feature lets you gather any type of log and easily analyze it."
"Splunk has drawn our attention to how the network is running. If there are alarms on things that are not functioning, it gives us early warning on problems that could arise."
"Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring gives us complete visibility without the need for storage."
"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."
"We haven't really experienced any glitches or bugs."
"The features I have found most valuable are log searching and log analytics, both of which are quick features."
"The most valuable feature in this solution is the log searching."
"The feature I find most valuable, is the data integration."
"The clustering aspect needs improvement, as there is a bit of confusion about you do when hit that 5000 probe mark."
"PRTG Network Monitor can improve the reports. In the reports, you have to give an alert for that SMS and email, the emergency calls and downtimes have to be reported accordingly. You have to enable email services or an SMS gateway service to receive more alerts at the proper time."
"The free version only gives us 100 free sensors to use. It would be nice if there was double that."
"The automation should be improved."
"Scalability is the only major sticking point for me. There is a recommended number of sensors, which is around 10,000 and we're double that... The only option we have to scale is to buy another core, which would be a separate, stand-alone instance..."
"More training videos for installing and configuring this software would have been nice, especially when working with a lot of devices."
"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."
"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."
"The implementation can be more user-friendly."
"The solution's stability is an area that has room for improvement. It needs to provide constant stability to its users."
"The cost needs to be re-examined. It's extremely expensive to run. It's also expensive to expand. That's the number one complaint all of my customers have when it comes to Splunk. It's way too expensive compared to other solutions."
"I would like to see an improvement and some innovation in the customer interface."
"It does not have a user-friendly interface and it is difficult to use."
"The solution should have more sensors regarding fiber intelligence for security measures."
"It would be useful if they provided some help pages. If you don't know too much about the tool, there should be more documentation readily available. It would be useful if they had a help button embedded in the solution so you could ask questions and get answers."
"The deployment can be quite complex."
