We performed a comparison between PRTG Network Monitor and Statseeker 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."
"PRTG Network Monitor helps us quickly and easily discover a large number of sensors, so we can spend minimal time monitoring customer sites."
"The scalability is good. You can improve a remote host or the clustering. This gives it the flexibility to monitor another infrastructure remotely."
"I can create my own program sensor. This means I can add extra monitoring capabilities into the already fundamentally strong foundation."
"PRTG has improved our visibility and response time to issues related to remote sites."
"I would boldly say that this is the most scalable network monitoring tool that I know of"
"The sensors and remote probes are phenomenal. We use them for all of our global sites. The problem with our global sites are that they are all VPNs. If the link goes down, you can't monitor other solutions, as it just goes off the grid. Having remote probes allows them to still carry on and get the information that we need when it comes back up, sending the information to us."
"Stable solution for monitoring networks and bandwidth, with multiple functions and features such as NetFlow Collector, graphical monitoring, etc."
"Good compilation of the system's information."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the simplicity of adding new devices into it."
"If somebody is complaining about slow networking then this solution allows us to see various ports to find out whether they are being overloaded."
"The most important for us is how fast this solution is, as well as the granularity that you can get to, such as per-minute statistics."
"We are a smaller enterprise, but we're watching approximately fifteen-thousand switchboards with no problem at all."
"This solution has helped us to proactively identify issues and push some of those fixes down to tier one."
"Device grouping is very easy, and you can discover thousands of devices in a few minutes."
"If you need a product that's able to monitor all the ports in your environment or all the ports that you want, this is a great product to use. Statseeker is quite flexible in tailoring the product, spending time tailoring the product with you. It's fairly low maintenance. It's quite quick."
"Being able to look back historically at the uptime and downtime is invaluable."
"The technical support needs improvement."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"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."
"PRTG could use reporting tools and mobile alert tools. It should be easier to diagnose and respond to problems from a mobile device on the go."
"Improvements in data storage flexibility, such as allowing customers to specify data retention periods, would enhance PRTG."
"They just released a newer version of the desktop app, a beta version, that I have been trialing out. I prefer the older version, only because of how the layout is designed"
"Can be slow in the way it polls the different engines."
"I would like to see Office 365 monitoring. Essentially, it doesn't do it. I assumed not at all, but apparently it does it slightly. However, due to issues with APIs, they currently don't provide full monitoring for O365."
"I would like to see a more robust platform and a new dashboard. In addition, the code is good, but it needs improvement."
"PRTG Network Monitor could improve the price."
"With Statseeker I'd like to see some flow, i.e. what's tuning-up the network. The trend I like is managing the traffic load by going to the cloud."
"I would like to see some layer two and layer three topology mappings, similar to what NNMi and SolarWinds presents."
"It would be very nice to have the Cisco ACI option included in the regular license."
"It would be nice if they had twenty-four-hour technical support because we contact Australia and we have to wait for them to open."
"There is a little bit of room to improve in the alerting section to give some more options there. It's all I can think of right now off the top of my head."
"I'd say the interface could improve a little bit. I find with new users, I tend to have to spend a bit of time walking them through how to use the interface. It could be a little more user friendly."
"It would be nice if I could easily select individual interfaces."
"Technical support for this solution is bad, as is everything with Cisco support."
