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.

Alerts have helped us catch critical network failures before they escalate
The first and foremost feature I appreciate about PRTG Network Monitor is that you implement it and forget it, requiring no maintenance. After deploying the core servers and using the auto-discovery feature, it had most of our network mapped out within an hour, making it very easy to set up and forget. With PRTG Network Monitor, I didn't need to spend weeks determining if a server was up or if a switch port was saturated, which means going from blind to having visibility in a single day is fantastic. The dashboards in PRTG Network Monitor are very good. The dashboard and UI are engaging, making it suitable not only for experienced users but also for beginners who are new to the tool. PRTG Network Monitor has positively impacted our organization by saving us a significant amount of money. During maintenance windows or patching, we used to receive false alerts, but since implementing PRTG, it has saved us thousands of dollars and has become a boon for us by providing convenience and being time and cost-saving. We have easily saved tens of thousands of dollars since using PRTG Network Monitor.

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 have seen an ROI as it allows us to avoid downtime."
"PRTG Network Monitor offers valuable features that save a lot of time as the reports are automatically available, and I rely on them because they provide proof during escalation, with exact downtime logs and related information."
"I would be happy to recommend PRTG; I have no qualms with it whatsoever, it does what we need it to do and is flexible."
"PRTG has improved our visibility and response time to issues related to remote sites."
"This solution makes it easy to group devices, and 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."
"It allows us to directly add individual VMs independently."
"I would boldly say that this is the most scalable network monitoring tool that I know of"
"PRTG Network Monitor is easy to set up. Within a few minutes, it is operational."
 

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 is okay to use, but you'll need some time to analyze the data. If it can automatically locate or identify the problem area, it would be more helpful to users."
"PRTG's application monitoring sensor is not strong."
"Needs ability to monitor standard notification time (notify after X time)."
"The Desktop app is good but it can be really sluggish at times, especially when you're editing different elements."
"The free version only gives us 100 free sensors to use. It would be nice if there was double that."
"The solution has to evolve as an end-to-end monitoring solution. It has to do better at understanding the application at the deepest level."
"PRTG Network Monitor needs to show bandwidth utilization in proper graphs. It isn't easy to learn."
"The user interface could be more modern as it is quite dated. PRTG Network Monitor can sometimes be too detailed and cluttered at the beginning, making it heavy to use."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Cloudian HyperIQ's licensing is cheap."
"At the moment I'm only using 500 sensors. I pay yearly, so it's a cost that's easily swallowed."
"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."
"Our licensing costs are 10,000 euros over three years."
"The price is pretty comparable."
"If you are not too sure about it, try the free version. Then, if you like it, you can go to the paid version and roll it out."
"The pricing is comparable."
"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."

Nagios vs. Zabbix vs. PRTG vs. Spiceworks vs. Solarwinds Network Performance Monitor
I have researched a quite a few network monitoring tools which can be used for various monitoring purposes of not only the servers, but the intermediate routers as well. There are majorly three types of these softwares. Ones which are completely open-source, you can do almost anything you want…
