"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."
"It is a very stable solution. There are no bugs, glitches and we have not experienced any crashing."
"I think net flow is PRTG's most valuable feature because it doesn't cost much for us because the net flow sensor is already included in the PRTG license. We can monitor our traffic in our proxy and router."
"We have asked questions of their technical support and they have a very good response time."
"The up-to-date graphs and the history are very good."
"It is user-friendly. It is easy to set up health checks within PRTG and use scans. It is like a self-service tool, and anyone can configure their own settings within PRTG."
"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."
"It is very flexible, and we can monitor many aspects of IT as well as ERP and CRM services. It has a very powerful interface and APIs for customization."
"The most valuable feature is monitoring."
"I have found that the reporting feature in Zabbix is most valuable. Additionally, the solution has given us bandwidth options, we are able to see where problems are. For example, we noticed a problem that occurred because of a bad interface going in the wireless VLAN."
"The most valuable feature is the alert and alarm monitoring."
"We detect problems before the customer does and before it actually happens using the predictive functions in Zabbix."
"Every new asset placed in the environment can be automatically detected, predicting human failures."
"We have found that Zabbix is more easy to use than other applications."
"The product is very stable."
"Zabbix is both stable and scalable."
"I would like to see network mapping."
"The database needs improvement."
"PRTG's application monitoring sensor is not strong."
"The licensing policy needs more flexibility."
"PRTG Network Monitor is okay to use, but you'll need some time to analyze the data. If it can automatically locate or identify the problem area, it would be more helpful to users."
"PRTG Network Monitor can improve by having better integration with devices."
"In our organization, we encounter performance issues with our PRTG probe service. I saw documentation from the vendor or Paessler mentioning that there are limitations for WMI sensors. Other than that, we are okay with PRTG."
"Can be slow in the way it polls the different engines."
"If Zabbix had a better dashboard then it would be nice."
"Correlation of events would be a wonderful addition."
"I am having difficulties connecting it to Grafana, as well as some of the other plugins like Kibana."
"The user web interface is a little bit too basic, we need to link Zabbix to Grafana to have more options, such as graphs and charts. The interface needs to be improved. Additionally, there could be better integration with Grafana API."
"Zabbix technical support is sold separately."
"Having a more customizable interface and dashboard would be an improvement."
"The graphical user interface could be customized a little bit more, and also the dashboard could be more friendly."
"As far as improvements, sometimes I get a bit frustrated when I move from a previous version to a new one because some configuration has changed—I need to investigate the documentation to deal with some configuration. But it doesn't take much time, so it's okay."
