Includes a Grafana dashboard that helps to improve monitoring and reporting

The installation process needs to be improved, and the tool needs a better script. Cloudian HyperIQ runs on Docker containers. Sometimes, the file system gets filled. The tool needs to have separate Docker volumes in the installation script. The documentation for reporting needs to be improved. I am not able to generate reports using it. The alert mechanisms also need to be improved. It should integrate with AI and give more metrics to be taken up next year. We can show the response peak as an improvement to our leadership.

Alerting precision has reduced incident response times and improved department-level network visibility

The auto-pause sensor during the maintenance window is good without any false alerts, and it prevents me from getting flooded with alerts during planned maintenance, helping department heads understand their own network usage better. It has reduced incident response time by giving clearer ownership of each alert, ensuring alerts go to the proper recipient. SNMP testers and auto-pause are among the best features of PRTG Network Monitor, which is particularly useful for different departments such as HR and finance, where alerts can be filtered accordingly. The alerting features and dashboard of PRTG Network Monitor are very helpful, especially in our industry. However, the dashboard can look cluttered on smaller screens, which is one negative aspect. PRTG Network Monitor has impacted us positively; we have stopped getting flooded with alerts during planned maintenance or unplanned outages. Compared to others, this gives specific alerts very quickly and helps department heads understand their own network usage better, thus reducing incident response time so that each alert has clear ownership.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The tool has a very good interface and helps to monitor the nodes and resources. The most valuable feature is the S3 dashboard. It helps in migration, and we can monitor the data for at least three months."

"We like the alerting system, the SNMP monitoring and the customization of the bandwidth."

"PRTG is simple to manage: First, you can create a template for a device, then apply it to hundreds of similar devices, and that's a great advantage."

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

"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."

"I would recommend this solution because it's great for monitoring network traffic and producing reports."

"The alerting is the most valuable feature. I also like the iPhone app. I get alerts in an email on the iPhone app."

"There was only one feature I liked about PRTG Network Monitor a lot, and that was bandwidth monitoring, though, in the newer versions of the tool, that feature is now a bit lacking. Pricing for PRTG Network Monitor is also not as expensive. It's a good tool, even for beginners."

"The most valuable feature of PRTG Network Monitor is real-time monitoring."

Cons

"The installation process needs to be improved, and the tool needs a better script. Cloudian HyperIQ runs on Docker containers. Sometimes, the file system gets filled. The tool needs to have separate Docker volumes in the installation script. The documentation for reporting needs to be improved. I am not able to generate reports using it. The alert mechanisms also need to be improved. It should integrate with AI and give more metrics to be taken up next year. We can show the response peak as an improvement to our leadership."

"PRTG Network Monitor needs to show bandwidth utilization in proper graphs. It isn't easy to learn."

"The inventory of the device should be improved."

"They need to address the slowness issue that sometimes occurs with PRTG Network Monitor."

"In terms of sensors and probes, it would be really cool if PRTG had a purely Azure-based solution."

"I would like to see Office 365 monitoring. Essentially, it doesn't do it."

"I would like to see network mapping."

"PRTG Network Monitor can improve the reports."

"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."

More PRTG Network Monitor cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Cloudian HyperIQ's licensing is cheap."

"The pricing for PRTG in our case is reasonable because we have a lot of applications to monitor within PRTG. It is not that expensive."

"We pay nothing for it. Its 100 sensors have allowed us to put a magnifying glass on some systems, providing an extra layer of detail. Therefore, our outgoing is nothing and our incoming is a lot of useful data that we can react to proactively."

"If you're looking for a cost effective software I’d suggest this product."

"The pricing is very low compared to other solutions."

"PRTG is now available as PRTG Enterprise Monitor, and the price varies depending on the total number of sensors the customer buys"

"We bought a license for 4000 sensors."

"PRTG Network Monitor is very expensive."

"We used a product called SolarWinds in the past, and its cost was high. Whereas, PRTG came in at a third of SolarWind's cost."
