We performed a comparison between PRTG Network Monitor and Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."We have asked questions of their technical support and they have a very good response time."
"It improves the status of my infrastructure, from networking devices to real-time machines."
"Ease of set-up – it is quick and easy to add a probe and start collecting data from a device."
"Its proactiveness is its most valuable feature. We already know when we come in, in the morning, if a server or site is down, as opposed to someone telling us."
"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."
"The solution provides us response times to issues."
"From a network point of view, we can see the state of the network, as well as bandwidth usage and downtime."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is being able to see things graphically."
"Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring gives us complete visibility without the need for storage."
"The Add data feature lets you gather any type of log and easily analyze it."
"Great monitoring of network devices."
"It's a very easy-to-use solution."
"It can monitor, get the data, and then report on the data."
"The alerts are the most valuable feature."
"The vibrant dashboards are valuable."
"Splunk has drawn our attention to how the network is running. If there are alarms on things that are not functioning, it gives us early warning on problems that could arise."
"Can be slow in the way it polls the different engines."
"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."
"It would be good if there were better graphical interfaces when you have it on multiple monitors... Because we have so many servers, things can get lost in the fog a little bit. Maybe having a better way of showing different geographies, Flash, etc., would help."
"PRTG could use reporting tools and mobile alert tools. It should be easier to diagnose and respond to problems from a mobile device on the go."
"The Desktop app is good but it can be really sluggish at times, especially when you're editing different elements."
"Users need to buy the more expensive licenses if they expect to be able to scale."
"Once you start going above 5000 sensors, things do start to get a bit shaky. There are some best practice out there that you will need to adopt and be aware of."
"We run it in a cluster, so we have two that run together. The cluster behind it is sketchy at times."
"Splunk could be better integrated with configuration manager solutions so we can automatically resolve issues without human interference."
"It does not have a user-friendly interface and it is difficult to use."
"The price has room for improvement."
"They do not have all the features that I expect right now."
"The solution should have more sensors regarding fiber intelligence for security measures."
"I would like to see an improvement and some innovation in the customer interface."
"The deployment can be quite complex."
"The clustering part of indexes can be more refined."
