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."Fewer vulnerabilities have been observed in the four years we have used the solution."
"Mobile application is the most valuable feature for us. We can monitor all the storages on our phones. It's really good."
"The best thing about this solution is that you can check for the infrastructure and system updates that you might need to be compliant with the Cloud."
"Has really nice roll-up dashboards."
"The tool for forecasting capacity is valuable."
"The remote probe feature in PRTG Network Monitor helps you monitor remote systems or your network at a lower cost than other solutions."
"The most valuable feature is the notifications. As long as you spend time and think about what and when you want to be notified, it's always accurate. It is always there. I find things out before my Internet provider."
"The authentication links into our standard Active Directory authentication, which is very good."
"The initial setup is very simple."
"The solution provides us response times to issues."
"It is nice to have one place where all the information is right there in front of us."
"The most valuable feature of PRTG Network Monitor is the different monitoring probes available."
"The feature whereby it shows when my hard drives are moving towards thresholds that would be considered outages, before they reach that point - that is valuable."
"Doesn't do well in terms of integrating with technologies other than Dell."
"Supporting legacy systems is an area that can be improved."
"PowerScale is the only file system offered and that is limiting."
"The reporting capabilities of this solution could be improved."
"In terms of improvement, they should enhance the product range."
"The remote probes seem to be a little bit buggy at times. They just stop working or they say they can't communicate. What we tend to do to is install the remote app onto the servers that we use. That seems to clear it up."
"Having a Unix implementation or Unix installation could be an improvement. Right now, it's based just on Windows, and that's a problem for some customers."
"The Desktop app is good but it can be really sluggish at times, especially when you're editing different elements."
"I would like the ability to monitor Cisco IRS devices."
"Needs ability to monitor standard notification time (notify after X time)."
"Mostly, this software has sensors for devices to monitor specs and you can build or develop or modify various sensors, according to your company's needs. But you may need to do that with coding or plugins or with the support of Paessler AG, the manufacturer."
"I would like a more straightforward ability to create dashboards and maps. The network maps should be a bit more flexibility in the GUI to do what we need to do."
"There is room for improvement in this solution for the performance and third-party monitoring protocols. They need to be updated to the latest ones."
