PRTG Network Monitor Reviews

PRTG Network Monitor is used for monitoring internet service providers, and we want to receive the downtime of the network devices mapped. PRTG Network Monitor is hosted in a local host server in our three data centers.

The most valuable features of PRTG Network Monitor are user-friendly, and the graphical interface is good for all the network devices that are mapped in this organization. It's very easy to find reports for any devices that we are looking for.

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 setup of PRTG Network Monitor is simple. There are five or six steps to complete it. 

We have more than two locations and for that two locations' network connectivities, we are using PRTG Network Monitor. For example, we monitor firewalls, switches, and for ISPs. For servers, we are using the Zabbix.

One person is monitoring everything using PRTG Network Monitor. We have been providing support to our customers.

We are using the premium version of PRTG Network Monitor. The price of the solution is a bit higher than competitors but it is worth the extra money. However, it would be helpful if the price was lower.

I have compared other tools to PRTG Network Monitor. I found that PRTG Network Monitor is more user-friendly than the others I compared.

I rate PRTG Network Monitor a seven out of ten.

I use the solution to monitor the availability of devices and check if ping has generated ICMP requests.

They should work on syncing the solution with Gmail. Also, they should add a feature to monitor the bandwidths of different devices. In addition, it should be possible for us to check the connectivity of the devices via DNS servers.

I have been using the solution for more than two weeks.

It is a stable solution.

It is a scalable solution but depends on the license version. We have about 1000 devices integrated with the solution.

We have used OpManager. We switched to PRTG as per our customer's request.

The solution's initial setup was straightforward. I had to enable FTP to copy the server and then install the solution over the server. Further, I was able to access it remotely via a web browser.

I implemented the solution myself. 

I rate the solution as a nine. It is very user-friendly. I have downloaded it to my home devices. I receive an alarm when the network of any of the devices drops down. I can also add users by giving them static IPs. It is easy for a nontechnical person to use it as well. It can be used both for personal and enterprise purposes.

PRTG Network Monitor is used by network monitoring teams for keeping a tab on services that are down. Once you are aware of a failure you are able to quickly reinstate the service before customers or brand users notice. This can be done even before the service is down, if you see a pattern of service degradation, it can quickly attend to it.

The most valuable feature of PRTG Network Monitor is the different monitoring probes available.

PRTG Network Monitor could improve the price.

I have been using PRTG Network Monitor for approximately three years.

PRTG Network Monitor is stable.

We have two clients that are using PRTG Network Monitor.

The technical support from PRTG Network Monitor has been good.

I rate the licensing for PRTG Network Monitor an eight out of ten.

I rate PRTG Network Monitor an eight out of ten.

We use this solution for security and supervision of our network. There are two people using PRTG Network Monitor in my company.

The solution is deployed on a private cloud with Microsoft Azure. 

It allows me to detect problems with the network, and it helps users propose the solution to resolve the problem.

The difference between PRTG and other products is that PRTG is integrated on Windows. 

This solution is a good product so far, but I haven't been using it long enough to know how it could be improved.

I have been using this solution for two months.

It's stable.

It's not complex. We used eight people for deployment.

It's expensive to maintain. There are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees.

I would rate this solution 8 out of 10.

I would recommend this solution for someone who wants to start using it.

We use PRTG network monitoring to monitor our server, especially for computing resources. 

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.

PRTG's application monitoring sensor is not strong and could be improved, and I've also had some issues with it crashing during upgrades. In the next release, I would like to see the ability to monitor connections between services.

I've been using this solution for more than a year.

The platform is stable - other than the issues with upgrading, we haven't encountered any problems with it.

I think the platform is relatively scalable - we added two additional probes, and everything has worked fine without any issues.

The technical support team is very responsive.

The initial setup was relatively easy.

Adding extra sensors will incur an additional cost.

I evaluated Centron, which is more flexible and customizable, but I think that PRTG is easier to administer. The initial setup with PRTG is also easier than with other solutions at the same level.

PRTG is very good for basic monitoring of computer resources and usage. However, if you have relatively complex environments, you may need a different product. I would give this solution a rating of six out of ten.

We are a service provider in the IT industry, and this is one of the products that we implement for our clients. We are using this product ourselves, and we have several customers who are also using it.

It is basically used for monitoring alerts, such as memory from a server has gone down.

Network Discovery is a feature that our customers like a lot.

The ability to maintain the health of the network is very good.

The user interface is okay.

This is a very lightweight solution.

The technical support could respond a little bit quicker.

A better console would be an improvement.

I have been working with PRTG Network Monitor for approximately five years.

The stability is excellent.

The networks in Guatemala are not very large, so scalability has not been an issue for us.

Our clients are typically medium-sized businesses.

We are working towards increasing the number of deployments.

I would rate the technical support and eight out of ten. They could be a little better in terms of response speed. Usually, they respond the next day.

The initial setup is straightforward and very simple. The length of time required for deployment depends on the size of the network but usually, we're talking about two hours.

We provide technical support to our customers who are using this product.

On average, two people are required for deployment and maintenance.

The pricing is okay and it is cheaper than some competing products.

The other product that our customers normally consider is SolarWinds.

SolarWinds is a more robust solution, and as such, it is much more expensive than PRTG. Most of the time, based on budget, our customers choose PRTG.

For me, this is a nice solution and I would rate it an eight out of ten.

We are mostly using PRTG Network Monitor for monitoring servers, and switches. For example, we monitor uptime on critical resources.

The solution has benefited our organization by showing us when devices are up and when you are down, and we can do an analysis on the availability of the resources.

The most valuable feature of PRTG Network Monitor is the dashboards. We can check to see the resources and the uptime.

PRTG Network Monitor can improve by adding prevention and detection features.

I have been using PRTG Network Monitor for approximately two years.

The stability of the PRTG Network Monitor is good.

PRTG Network Monitor is scalable. You can also deploy it on Linux and Windows. We have approximately 350 people using this solution in my company.

We are an IT company that deploys this solution on more than one site.

We have been using OP Network Manager in parallel with PRTG Network Monitor.

The initial setup of PRTG Network Monitor was easy. The implementation took approximately a couple of hours.

The implementation of PRTG Network Monitor was done in-house. The deployment can be done by one person.

The price of PRTG Network Monitor is more expensive than other solutions, such as OP Network Manager.

We are not using all the features available in the solution.

We have three technical support people who manage the solution.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate PRTG Network Monitor an eight out of ten.
