PRTG Network Monitor and VMware Aria Operations for Applications compete in the IT monitoring and management sector. PRTG Network Monitor holds an advantage in rapid deployment and cost-effectiveness, while VMware Aria Operations for Applications excels in managing application performance and multi-cloud environments.
Features: PRTG Network Monitor rapidly deploys across various environments, offers a scalable system, and provides comprehensive monitoring capabilities with minimal customization. Its robust alerting system adapts easily to infrastructure changes. VMware Aria Operations for Applications provides strong application performance management, advanced troubleshooting features, and supports monitoring in multi-cloud environments.
Room for Improvement: PRTG Network Monitor requires enhancements in template usage, map design, and sensor deployment for cutting-edge technologies. Improved third-party integration and cloud monitoring are also needed. VMware Aria Operations for Applications could improve its prediction capabilities, streamline setup processes, and enhance response times in support. Better diagnostics and comprehensive integration features are also desired.
Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Both solutions are praised for their flexibility in deployment, from on-premises to hybrid cloud models. PRTG Network Monitor sees gaps in real-time support and relies heavily on online resources. VMware Aria Operations for Applications, while effective in hybrid deployments, faces support challenges due to geographical constraints, despite generally positive onsite interactions.
