"PRTG has improved our visibility and response time to issues related to remote sites."

"The most valuable feature of PRTG Network Monitor is the different monitoring probes available."
"Its proactiveness is its most valuable feature. We already know when we come in, in the morning, if a server or site is down, as opposed to someone telling us."
"The most valuable features of PRTG Network Monitor are the threshold notification when certain traffic increases and goes beyond the defined threshold. The up and down status email notifications and other notifications are useful. Additionally, it is user-friendly, and customizable, and there are many features available."
"The solution is stable and reliable."

"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."

"They just released a newer version of the desktop app, a beta version, that I have been trialing out.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"
"The dashboarding definitely needs improvement."
"They could improve the process of updating the license."
"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."
"The inventory of the device should be improved."
"With custom sensors, there is a lot of work which needs to be done in the background, just for it to be tailor-made for the specific thing that we are actually monitoring. We take a lot of time with the custom sensors. I would like to see the customer sensor be more robust and a bit more varied."
"We will receive alerts only for the administrators and deployment servers, but not for all servers."
"DMC should be a little more intuitive with better dashboarding. Seeing the cause of data flow can be tough to track down."
"The price of the solution could be cheaper."
"The GUI can be improved. Splunk has always suffered from having a kind of goofy UI, it needs some updating."
"The documentation is in definite need of improvement."
"It would be nice if Splunk reduced the cost of training. Their training sessions are way too costly."
"We were inundated with the amount of alerts and alarms that we could get out of it. It is also a resource hog and we didn't have the resources to support it on-prem so we're taking it offline now."
"AngularJS/ReactJS inclusion could be made easier in GUI."
