We performed a comparison between Azure Monitor and PRTG Network Monitor based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud Monitoring Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Azure Monitor is very stable."
"Technical support is good and helpful...The initial setup is easy."
"Provides an overview and high-level information."
"A product that is well-integrated for monitoring Microsoft Azure."
"Technical support is helpful."
"Among the valuable features of this solution, Application Insights stands out as one of the most significant. It provides insights into application performance and helps identify issues and bottlenecks."
"For me, the best feature is the log analysis with Azure Monitor's Log Analytics. Without being able to analyze the logs of all the activities that affect the performance of a machine, your monitoring effectiveness will be severely limited."
"Azure Monitor is really just a source for Dynatrace. It's just collecting data and monitoring the environment and the infrastructure. It is fairly good at that."
"The real-time monitoring feature in PRTG is invaluable to me"
"Its initial setup process is fast and easy."
"Stable and scalable network monitoring tool. Installation is simple and straightforward."
"The initial setup is very simple."
"The feature whereby it shows when my hard drives are moving towards thresholds that would be considered outages, before they reach that point - that is valuable."
"The solution is scalable."
"The most valuable feature is the dashboard interface. It's very clean, it's very simple to use."
"Stable solution for monitoring networks and bandwidth, with multiple functions and features such as NetFlow Collector, graphical monitoring, etc."
"We encounter some difficulties in monitoring the operating system on its own."
"Currently, it seems it's complicated to get the correct information in terms of what to do and how things work."
"Azure Monitor is not user-friendly, and the interface is not exciting. Switching between the dashboards is not easy."
"They should include advanced logging on the database level in the Azure pool."
"They need to work with other cloud providers - not just Azure."
"I need connectivity with cost management."
"Azure Monitor's integration with applications could be improved."
"We cannot use AI services with the solution."
"I would like to see them take their graphing tools and convert them into a collector so that we can point telemetry to them"
"I have an issue with DFS, distributed file services... there isn't one by default. Taking into account the difference between DFS and DFSR as well would be great."
"When using PRTG Network Monitor it is beneficial if you have prior experience with it, the user interface could improve."
"It probably has this already, but if it had a mobile app that would be helpful. For example, on a day like today when I'm out, if I could just fire it up and see green, green, green, green, green or red, that would be good."
"We have had a few issues with the web elements, as far as the dashboard. With the dashboard, it has to be manually refreshed. Occasionally, we reboot the server, or at least web services, due to the web aspect."
"Having a Unix implementation or Unix installation could be an improvement. Right now, it's based just on Windows, and that's a problem for some customers."
"PRTG Network Monitor can improve by having better integration with devices."
"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"

Hi to all. On my view, the PRTG would be the better decisionт as external independent solution. In addition, based on my own experience, PRTG is a more flexible tool that can be quickly configured for any task
Request you to kindly check out Infraon IMS tool. It is a comprehensive IT Infra monitoring tool covering core components like firewalls, routers, switches, servers, storage, applications, databases along with peripheral components like Access Points, IP Phones, IP Cameras etc. Cloud monitoring (AWS & Azure) and SD-WAN monitoring is also available.
Zabbix is an open-source monitoring software tool for diverse IT components, including networks, servers, virtual machines (VMs) and cloud services. Zabbix provides monitoring metrics, among others network utilization, CPU load and disk space consumption. Zabbix monitoring configuration can be done using XML based templates which contain elements to monitor. The software monitors operations on Linux, Hewlett Packard Unix (HP-UX), Mac OS X, Solaris and other operating systems (OSes); however, Windows monitoring is only possible through agents. Zabbix can use MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, SQLite, Oracle or IBM DB2 to store data. Its backend is written in C and the web frontend is written in PHP. Zabbix offers several monitoring options:
Simple checks can verify the availability and responsiveness of standard services such as SMTP or HTTP without installing any software on the monitored host.
A Zabbix agent can also be installed on UNIX and Windows hosts to monitor statistics such as CPU load, network utilization, disk space, etc.
As an alternative to installing an agent on hosts, Zabbix includes support for monitoring via SNMP, TCP and ICMP checks, as well as over IPMI, JMX, SSH, Telnet and using custom parameters. Zabbix supports a variety of near-real-time notification mechanisms, including XMPP.
Released under the terms of GNU General Public License version 2, Zabbix is free software.
