We performed a comparison between NetCrunch 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."We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"Reporting on NetCrunch is pretty good. It's very similar to SolarWinds. It's just a different interface. The majority of everything there was beneficial."
"The most valuable feature is the notifications. As long as you spend time and think about what and when you want to be notified, it's always accurate. It is always there. I find things out before my Internet provider."
"The network visualization helps us to drill down deeper."
"Ability to create a dashboard inside software monitoring."
"PRTG is simple to manage. First, you can create a template for a device, then apply it to hundreds of similar devices. That's a great advantage."
"PRTG has improved our visibility and response time to issues related to remote sites."
"The solution is very easy to use and the web provides information with ease."
"One of the valuable features is the diversity of metrics available to us to monitor. It's all there, it's all in the box. It's all made very easy, by virtue of it being pre-configured."
"The product is simple and easy to implement."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"I didn't care for the role-based, permission-based options, which were not the best."
"If PRTG could help me see the bandwidth for each host I have on my network, either for a wireless or a wired network, that would be very helpful."
"I would like to see a more robust platform and a new dashboard. In addition, the code is good, but it needs improvement."
"In terms of sensors and probes, it would be really cool if PRTG had a purely Azure-based solution. We had to install a probe on one of our cloud servers and then let that probe out from there. It would be really cool if it just monitored Azure without having to install something on the device."
"The Desktop app is good but it can be really sluggish at times, especially when you're editing different elements."
"The icons on PRTG's network diagram are hard to find. For example, finding the icons for firewalls and servers is difficult, so we're struggling to create the network topology."
"In the next release, PRTG Network Monitor should add a backup solution."
"PRTG's documentation could be improved."
"Sometimes, our PRTG Network Monitor system crashes and a lot of sensors go down."
