Executive SummaryUpdated on Mar 9, 2025

PRTG Network Monitor and Oracle Infrastructure Monitoring Cloud Service compete in the network monitoring domain. PRTG has the upper hand in pricing and support, while Oracle offers superior features, providing good value despite higher costs.

Features: PRTG Network Monitor offers extensive real-time network monitoring, flexible alerting, and customizable dashboards. Oracle Infrastructure Monitoring Cloud Service provides impressive integration capabilities with other Oracle products, scalability, and comprehensive cloud infrastructure monitoring. The notable difference is Oracle's strength in complex cloud environments versus PRTG's focus on customizable local network monitoring.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: PRTG Network Monitor is known for its straightforward installation and dedicated customer support, making it easy to set up and configure. Oracle Infrastructure Monitoring Cloud Service integrates seamlessly with Oracle's ecosystem but may require more technical expertise and support during deployment. The contrast is evident in PRTG's simpler installation versus Oracle’s broader cloud integration.

Pricing and ROI: PRTG Network Monitor is competitively priced with a one-time license fee, offering quick ROI due to low setup costs. Oracle Infrastructure Monitoring Cloud Service follows a subscription-based model, potentially leading to higher ongoing costs.

Saktid Devi Jeyakaran - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers real-time alerting and dashboards are great for performance hubs of the database
It's primarily for CPU utilization and resource monitoring. Vulnerability scanning falls under OCI Cloud Guard, so it's related to security concerns. Some people might prefer using a third-party tool for more enhanced features. However, I think Oracle Infrastructure Monitoring Cloud Service could be improved to reduce the need for third-party connectivity. So overall, third-party connectivity is the part that needs improvement within Oracle Infrastructure Monitoring Cloud Service. OCI needs more research and development to understand why clients choose third-party tools like Splunk or QRadar over internal monitoring solutions. There must be some areas where third-party tools are better. OCI could analyze this and improve its service.

Efficiently monitor networks across regions with seamless setup and robust feature set
PRTG Network Monitor is easy to set up. Within a few minutes, it is operational. It is an all-in-one monitoring solution without extra costs. For example, we set it up for an insurance company with branches across Africa. We are able to monitor from Lagos without installing anything in the branches, using the agentless feature. We just put in the IP address and the parameter, and we monitor from those ends. Additionally, all the sensors are very useful. Most people are interested in the bandwidth monitoring sensor to see what bandwidth the users are consuming. The pricing is affordable compared to SolarWinds.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Real-time alerting is a very important feature. We need alerts for everything. We have alarms setup and get alerts through email or third-party integrations depending on what's happening – critical VMs, high CPU usage, security concerns."
"Nice product with an easy interface to use and a large variety of sensors."
"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 product is easy to use and the web interface is fantastic."
"Accessibility, ease of use (Web GUI, MobileApps). In general, compared with other software"
"What I've found most valuable is the custom sensor, which allows you to write scripts or code to monitor a specific metric in your environment."
"It gives me a live view of the traffic on the WAN."
"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."
"There is a simplicity to setting up the extra sensors. It's really easy for us to build infrastructure and start monitoring very quickly."

Cons

"Third-party connectivity is the part that needs improvement within Oracle Infrastructure Monitoring Cloud Service."
"I would like a more straightforward ability to create dashboards and maps. The network maps should be a bit more flexibility in the GUI to do what we need to do."
"PRTG Network Monitor should provide syslog monitoring since it is not available at this time. There are very limited features as compared to other solutions."
"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."
"PRTG Network Monitor can improve by having better integration with devices."
"PRTG Network Monitor can improve the reports. In the reports, you have to give an alert for that SMS and email, the emergency calls and downtimes have to be reported accordingly. You have to enable email services or an SMS gateway service to receive more alerts at the proper time."
"PRTG Network Monitor needs to enhance network performance monitoring."
"The operations dashboard is only available in PRTG's enterprise version, but I wish it could be accessed in the standard licensing. It would also be nice if PRTG had templates for dashboard monitoring, software monitoring, etc. It can help me set up a dashboard because now we don't have a template from PRTG, so we need to create one from scratch."
"The scalability of this solution could improve as well as the automated provisioning of the infrastructure."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"For monitoring specifically, it's not that expensive. The licensing is yearly basis."
"When you buy PRTG, everything comes in one bundle. Licensing is very easy."
"We have an unlimited license for this solution."
"The licensing fees are billed annually and there are no costs in addition to this."
"Our licensing costs are 10,000 euros over three years."
"We are using the basic PRTG that we can download for free. For now, we only need to monitor less than 100 devices. For more than 100 devices, we would need to buy a license. PRTG is much cheaper than SolarWinds."
"All monitoring system is close to the same pricing scheme."
"It's a cost-efficient tool."
"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."

Overview

Oracle Infrastructure Monitoring Cloud Service is a software-as-a-service solution that monitors the status and health of your entire IT infrastructure - on-premises or on the cloud - from a single platform. Proactive monitoring across all your infrastructure tiers enables you to be alerted on issues, troubleshoot and resolve these before they impact end users.

Oracle

PRTG Network Monitor runs on a Windows machine within your network, collecting various statistics from the machines, software, and devices which you designate. PRTG comes with an easy-to-use web interface with point-and-click configuration. You can easily share data from it with non-technical colleagues and customers, including via live graphs and custom reports. This will let you plan for network expansion, see what applications are using most of your connection, and make sure that no one is hogging the entire network just to torrent videos.

To monitor a large IT environment, it's important to be able to scale PRTG up. Paessler PRTG Enterprise Monitor includes all the proven capabilities of PRTG Network Monitor, which are enhanced by exclusive ITOps Board for a service-oriented, central overview of multiple PRTG servers.
