We performed a comparison between DX NetOps and PRTG Network Monitor based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Network Monitoring Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The single dashboard is a valuable feature."
"We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"A highly scalable solution."
"The solution is stable."
"It's good for root cause analysis for network problems and network link problems."
"It is straightforward to configure, and you can quickly gather data from your infrastructure."
"The AI is the best feature in this solution."
"I like that it provides an overall view of our network. From the topology view to every event, we can view it. We can also see the interface utilization for future capacity planning. It fits our use case and environment."
"The technical support seems to be quick, clever, and has a comprehensive knowledge base online, which is fantastic."
"The alerting is the most valuable feature. I also like the iPhone app. I get alerts in an email on the iPhone app."
"The installation is not that complex."
"The most valuable feature of PRTG Network Monitor is the dashboards. We can check to see the resources and the uptime."
"We use the remote probes a lot for our branch offices. Instead of deploying the full instance of PRTG, we'll put a remote probe out there. This simplifies the whole deployment for us."
"Nice product with an easy interface to use and a large variety of sensors."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to span multiple technologies and multiple vendors."
"PRTG gives us true visibility of the downtime of particular circuit functions. So if a circuit is up but not routing traffic, I will know with this tool. I can write a customized script for a sensor to detect specific things."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The technical support needs improvement."
"It would be better if they had an NFA network analysis feature. We appreciate features like extended network security for bucket flows, but it would be better to have some IDs, IPS functionalities, DDoS, or something like that."
"Technical support could be more responsive."
"One improvement that could make the product better is to streamline its modules into a more cohesive solution."
"Lacks dashboards and better integration with other solutions."
"Technical support needs to be better. They need to be more knowledgeable and responsive."
"The hardware requirements can be improved."
"There is room for improvement in this solution for the performance and third-party monitoring protocols. They need to be updated to the latest ones."
"I know we're going to move to Docker applications and I understand that PRTG does some monitoring regarding this. I do not know if it is complete. If it's not yet complete, it's something they should consider improving."
"PRTG does not allow us to scan devices like we can scan software or another problem in it. Also, I cannot draw graphical graphs in Woodview/look. Another problem is that we cannot draw a good diagram in PRTG."
"Sometimes, it is difficult to drill down further to get information, e.g., if we saw spike in traffic, then we would want to drill down and find out what is causing that spike in traffic."
"Technical support is an area with concerns in PRTG Network Monitor, where improvements are required."
"Improvements in data storage flexibility, such as allowing customers to specify data retention periods, would enhance PRTG."
"I would like to see more updates available in this solution."
"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."
