Detects suden changes but significant pricing concerns affect the effectiveness of network traffic troubleshooting
We use PRTG Network Monitor for monitoring traffic on interfaces and the behavior of network traffic. If there are sudden changes in traffic or any configuration issues, we can sort them out using PRTG. It's very helpful for troubleshooting and monitoring traffic utilization on our interfaces…
ShahzadAziz - PeerSpot reviewer
A highly scalable and stable solution that provides excellent features and can be integrated with any product
The support team is more into R&D. They're not focused on support. The vendor lets the partners provide support for the solution. Partners must have StableNet-certified engineers. Complex problems arise for complex installations. When a problem is deep, it takes a lot of time to resolve it. It goes to the R&D and development teams. They do solve it, but the time taken could be reduced.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution provides us response times to issues."
"The technical support seems to be quick, clever, and has a comprehensive knowledge base online, which is fantastic."
"The fact that I can use custom MIB files to customize my sensors for the things that are not there as a default is a good feature."
"It improves the status of my infrastructure, from networking devices to real-time machines."
"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."
"From a network point of view, we can see the state of the network, as well as bandwidth usage and downtime."
"PRTG Network Monitor helps us quickly and easily discover a large number of sensors, so we can spend minimal time monitoring customer sites."
"I can customize the port as per my need and the real-time monitoring feature that is already provided to me."
"We can integrate any tool with StableNet."
"The solution is stable."
"The best features are the reporting, utilization, and network graph."
 

Cons

"PRTG Network Monitor can improve by having better integration with devices."
"The Desktop app is good but it can be really sluggish at times, especially when you're editing different elements."
"PRTG's application monitoring sensor is not strong."
"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."
"Maybe in the future there will be room for improvement, but currently, there is nothing pressing that I can think of"
"Improvements in data storage flexibility, such as allowing customers to specify data retention periods, would enhance PRTG."
"It would be good if there were better graphical interfaces when you have it on multiple monitors... Because we have so many servers, things can get lost in the fog a little bit. Maybe having a better way of showing different geographies, Flash, etc., would help."
"I would like to see them take their graphing tools and convert them into a collector so that we can point telemetry to them"
"The dashboard has a lot of room for improvement."
"The existing dashboard capability is there, but it is not user-friendly."
"The solution is expensive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"All monitoring system is close to the same pricing scheme."
"We've got 1,000 nodes and I believe it's a few hundred quid a month."
"The pricing is okay and it is cheaper than some competing products."
"The price is pretty comparable."
"The price was pretty good, very competitive."
"One thing I like is that when you buy sensors, it's a perpetual license, so once you buy 2,000 sensors, you've got 2,000 sensors; it's not a recurring cost."
"The pricing is comparable."
"PRTG Network Monitor is not that expensive, so I like it cost-wise. There's no additional cost apart from the standard licensing fees. On a scale of one to five, with one being the cheapest and five being the most expensive, I would rate the cost of PRTG Network Monitor a two."

Nagios vs. Zabbix vs. PRTG vs. Spiceworks vs. Solarwinds Network Performance Monitor
