Kiran Rajanna - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Solutions Architect and Cloud Security Consultant at Cgi Deutschland KG
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.
MC
Senior consultant at Cambridge Institute of Technology
Has reduced troubleshooting time and improved issue detection through sensor alerts and team collaboration
PRTG Network Monitor can be improved because the dashboard themes feel outdated. It should be updated to a newer version for the new Gen Z customers. The notification sound options are limited unless customized. Restarting probes after Windows updates is necessary, and there should be some kind of automatic restart. The initial auto-discovery added too many unnecessary sensors, so auto-discovery should only take the necessary sensors into consideration.

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."
"The network visualization helps us to drill down deeper."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is being able to see things graphically."
"Network monitoring - it's able to collect lots of detailed information on network devices and network traffic."
"Over the approximately two years that the company has been using this product, it has been very stable."
"It is able to satisfy all our requirements in terms of email notifications and specific errors on the devices."
"Its initial setup process is fast and easy."
"It is a very stable solution. There are no bugs, glitches and we have not experienced any crashing."
"The real-time monitoring feature in PRTG is invaluable to me"
 

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."
"The dashboarding definitely needs improvement."
"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."
"If they are looking for complex reports, I will say stay away from this product."
"Scalability is the only major sticking point for me."
"The product could be improved by being cross-platform friendly."
"PRTG can fix that, but it's only good for small workloads."
"We're using more cloud services now. It would be useful to be able to get information back from these cloud services in detail, and display any issues within PRTG for the rest of our systems."
"The desktop app is the one area where it could 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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Cloudian HyperIQ's licensing is cheap."
"Pricing for PRTG Network Monitor is a nine out of ten. It meets my company's budget and monitoring requirements. My company is on a perpetual license."
"When you have a lot of devices, PRTG Network Monitor can be costly."
"In my company now, we are using the free version."
"We looked at PRTG and SolarWinds. From a cost side perspective, compared to PRTG, and from what you get back from it, PRTG was sort of a hands down the winner."
"The scalability is there, but smaller companies might need CAM software to be able afford the product."
"It is about £4,500 for the first year, then about another 15 to 20 percent annually after that. So, we are looking at about £1000 running costs a year. When you think about how much an outage costs per minute, it's negligible."
"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."
"Because we are only on the free version, we have a limited number of sensors. Therefore, we are not monitoring as much as we want to be to obtain historical information."

Nagios vs. Zabbix vs. PRTG vs. Spiceworks vs. Solarwinds Network Performance Monitor
