PRTG Network Monitor Reviews

We use the product for network monitoring. 

The tool is integrated with our email for the alerts. 

PRTG Network Monitor needs to show bandwidth utilization in proper graphs. It isn't easy to learn. 

PRTG Network Monitor is stable. 

My company has two users for the product. 

I haven't contacted the tool's technical support yet. 

PRTG Network Monitor is cheap. 

I rate the solution a five out of ten. 

I have experience in configurations and troubleshooting, and I use PRTG Network Monitor for network monitoring activities, e.g. monitoring the bandwidth and where it's coming from. For example, I use NetFlow instead of SNMP only.

We had a big amount of bandwidth being used, and I wanted to check whoever was using that amount of bandwidth. We managed to find the source IP address of who was using that specific bandwidth amount, with the help of PRTG Network Monitor.

The features I like the most about PRTG Network Monitor are its NetFlow Collector and graphical monitoring functions.

More training videos for installing and configuring PRTG Network Monitor would have been nice, especially when working with a lot of devices.

I've been using PRTG Network Monitor for three years now, but not on a daily basis.

PRTG Network Monitor is a stable tool.

PRTG Network Monitor is scalable, but you'll need to take care of the cost to scale up, because it can be costly.

I had no issues with the support team for this product. I contacted support once, when I needed information on a type of configuration that could possibly be done on PRTG Network Monitor.

The tool is easy to install, but it needs to be done by a technical team, because
you need to configure the network devices to connect with PRTG Network Monitor. It took two hours to install and configure. The configuration can be lengthy because there were a lot of devices, so more training videos could have been helpful.

When you have a lot of devices, PRTG Network Monitor can be costly.

We deploy PRTG Network Monitor both on the Cloud and on-premises. We use Storm Cloud, but we cater to many clients, so we implement according to what the client wants.

We have one user who handles and maintains this product, e.g. an admin who knows the type of installation. If there's configuration involved, we have one engineer who handles that. There are other products like Zabbix that you can use for free, and since PRTG Network Monitor is costly, we sometimes use Zabbix.

I'm giving PRTG Network Monitor an eight out of ten.

While I cannot say for certain, I believe we are using the latest version. 

We use it for monitoring network devices and downloads.

The solution helps us with troubleshooting. We benefit from high performance and it can send out alarms. 

The traffic, the status of the devices can stand improvement. 

Moreover, I would like to see network mapping. 

We have been using PRTG Network Monitor over the past 12 months. 

The stability at the moment is good. 

There is no need for much technical support. The solution is very easy to use and the web provides information with ease.

The initial setup was simple and easy.

Some clients have 500 users. Some clients have 100 users. It varies. 

I rate PRTG Network Monitor as an eight out of ten. 

We have offices around Australia, we're a company organization with a couple of hundred people where we monitor four or five offices and their networks. We use the solution on a daily basis. We're a customer of PRTG and I'm president of our company. 

We like the solution's report writing and the way that it compiles the system's information from around the network and brings it all back into the central site and the interface. 

The solution could be improved by increasing the way that it polls the different engines which we feel is quite slow. It also doesn't integrate very well with service desks or anything else. Pre-packaged integrations with other product sets would be something we'd like to see in any future release.

I've been using this solution for three and a half years. 

The solution is stable except for when you want to do upgrades and then they try to move everyone over to the cloud versions. 

The solution is scalable, it's just a matter of including another piece of software and hooking it up through the network, through the Cisco routers, and away you go. 

I previously used Zabbix and Nagios which are problematic performance wise. They're not modern and neither are the interfaces. We prefer PRTG. 

The initial setup of the solution was easy. Our guys did some of it in-house and then we got an external party to help us, a local specialist. Implementation probably took about three months to get it to the point where we were happy with it.

Use of the product requires planning. Start with your ideas on paper first before you start doing your deployment and then ask yourself 'what if' questions - what if this or that happens. 

I would rate this solution a seven out of 10. 

We use this solution for monitoring servers in our data center. It performs pretty well. 

It improves the status of my infrastructure, from networking devices to real-time machines. 

I really love the snmp library. It gives the flexibility to discover data and metrics about my interface and data server.

I would like to see a more robust platform and a new dashboard. In addition, the code is good, but it needs improvement.

The stability is OK. 

The scalability is good. You can improve a remote host or the clustering. This gives it the flexibility to monitor another infrastructure remotely.

The initial setup was simple. 

In House 

We were previously considering Nagios Core, because it is over Linux and an open source solution. However, its problem is you have to do everything from scratch.

It is important when choosing a vendor to consider the connectivity.
