We performed a comparison between PRTG Network Monitor and Splunk Enterprise Security based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Zabbix, Datadog, Auvik and others in Network Monitoring Software."The single dashboard is a valuable feature."
"We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"PRTG Network Monitor is a very stable product."
"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 remote probe feature in PRTG Network Monitor helps you monitor remote systems or your network at a lower cost than other solutions."
"The installation is not that complex."
"The solution provides us with needed feedback on our IT infrastructure. It gives us really good quality of service when it comes to monitoring of available space and available resources. It allows us to preempt issues before they become a problem for the business."
"The email notifications are helpful, and the dashboards are user-friendly for people with little network monitoring knowledge."
"There is a simplicity to setting up the extra sensors. It's really easy for us to build infrastructure and start monitoring very quickly."
"The initial setup was easy. We didn't have any issues with the process and everything rolled out smoothly."
"The data representation options in the dashboards are excellent."
"We have a one stop dashboard for health of some of our services where you can click in and it takes you to other dashboards that have custom near real-time metrics that show the application's health."
"The flexibility of the search capability is most valuable. You can use it for more than just a basic log aggregator. It is powerful in that regard."
"It scales better in the cloud than on-premise."
"We did not encounter any issues with scalability. It is almost seamless to add new index (storage) or search (used to analyze the data) nodes to the cluster."
"The stock analysts and security people use one single dashboard (one single location) to check our logs."
"It has the ability to correlate data, analyze and review it."
"Recently, Splunk upgraded to version 9.0.02, which includes excellent data dashboards and visualization effects."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The technical support needs improvement."
"The Desktop app is good but it can be really sluggish at times, especially when you're editing different elements."
"PRTG access works best from the web GUI. There are dedicated apps on Windows/Android/iOS, but they are slow and don’t work as well as the web GUI."
"We need something that is more predictive. We would prefer if it wasn't a solution that was corrective and instead offered predictive insights so that we can handle problems before they even occur."
"The only sort of limitation is the actual probes. So, if you don't have enough probes on there, you can over flip them and cause the WMI sensors and SNMP sensors to sort of overload. Sometimes, they might timeout for a minute, but they do come back."
"PRTG Network Monitor needs to show bandwidth utilization in proper graphs. It isn't easy to learn."
"Other monitoring tools that I have used are easier to use."
"Along with more room for automation, more room for advanced configuration can be integrated into the solution."
"The desktop app is the one area where it do with some improvement. From a user's perspective, I would like to be able to get more out of the desktop app as opposed to where we are now with it."
"The support that is included with the standard licensing fee is very bad."
"The product was designed for security and IT with business intelligence needs, such as PDF exporting, but this has not been the highest priority. While the functionality is there, it could be developed more."
"It would be nice if they had a wizard to construct searches, including more complex searches that include math or statistics."
"I love the solution, but I would like to see more accessibility to the machine-learning capabilities that are sprinkled around Splunk."
"Integrating tools and creating use cases could be easier. It's hard for a junior security engineer with only a couple of years of experience to write use cases. They can do it, but it's much easier in a solution like IBM QRadar. Setting conditions is like a multiple-choice type of thing. It's a more user-friendly process."
"This is not really a monitoring solution."
"Features related to content management must be improved."
"Sometimes the communication with support happens with multiple staff. They should reduce the time to resolution."
