Efficiently monitor networks across regions with seamless setup and robust feature set
PRTG Network Monitor is easy to set up. Within a few minutes, it is operational. It is an all-in-one monitoring solution without extra costs. For example, we set it up for an insurance company with branches across Africa. We are able to monitor from Lagos without installing anything in the branches, using the agentless feature. We just put in the IP address and the parameter, and we monitor from those ends. Additionally, all the sensors are very useful. Most people are interested in the bandwidth monitoring sensor to see what bandwidth the users are consuming. The pricing is affordable compared to SolarWinds.

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

"We use the remote probes a lot for our branch offices. Instead of deploying the full instance of PRTG, we'll put a remote probe out there. This simplifies the whole deployment for us."
"The scalability is good. You can improve a remote host or the clustering. This gives it the flexibility to monitor another infrastructure remotely."
"The most valuable feature of PRTG Network Monitor is its ease of use."
"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."
"The up-to-date graphs and the history are very good."
"We have asked questions of their technical support and they have a very good response time."
"The alerting system is very stable, and it's helpful whenever any sensor is down."
"Stable and scalable network monitoring tool. Installation is simple and straightforward."
More PRTG Network Monitor pros
"The solution is stable."
"We can integrate any tool with StableNet."
"The best features are the reporting, utilization, and network graph."
 

Cons

"Technical support is an area with concerns in PRTG Network Monitor, where improvements are required."
"When it comes to third-party integration, one of the things we were looking at was putting some sensors onto our firewall, for instance. If there were a little bit more documentation and some step-by-step guides around that, that would be useful for us."
"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."
"With custom sensors, there is a lot of work which needs to be done in the background, just for it to be tailor-made for the specific thing that we are actually monitoring. We take a lot of time with the custom sensors. I would like to see the customer sensor be more robust and a bit more varied."
"The Desktop app is good but it can be really sluggish at times, especially when you're editing different elements."
"The dashboarding definitely needs improvement."
"PRTG Network Monitor could improve interaction with customers by offering direct support involvement instead of just mail responses."
"Other monitoring tools that I have used are easier to use."
More PRTG Network Monitor cons
"The dashboard has a lot of room for improvement."
"The solution is expensive."
"The existing dashboard capability is there, but it is not user-friendly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We looked at PRTG and SolarWinds. From a cost side perspective, compared to PRTG, and from what you get back from it, PRTG was sort of a hands down the winner."
"I'm paying something like €1000 per year for the maintenance. I've got unlimited sensors."
"The pricing for PRTG in our case is reasonable because we have a lot of applications to monitor within PRTG. It is not that expensive."
"The price is pretty comparable."
"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."
"On a yearly basis, I believe it's between £1,200 and £1,500."
"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."
"When you buy PRTG, everything comes in one bundle. Licensing is very easy."
