We performed a comparison between ManageEngine OpManager and PRTG Network Monitor 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."We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"It helps us a lot for monitoring our servers in one console, instead of going to individual servers."
"The uptime and monitoring are valuable to us because we need to monitor the uptime of our services, the memory, and the CPUs."
"Some of the most valuable features are the accessibility of the solution and the fact that it is simpler than other products. For example, discovering devices in the network is very simple, making it user-friendly."
"Defining thresholds and other alerting criteria is fairly simple and would not require a lot of training. This is very useful if you are managing a large environment."
"Flexibility in the two view dashboard helps viewers and admins get the information they need about the fetwork in a flash."
"The features we found most valuable in ManageEngine OpManager are the probe server and reporting because they're pretty good features."
"We use the solution to monitor links. It also helps us to track servers and monitor logs."
"Device monitoring is a good tool of this solution."
"The product is simple and easy to implement."
"PRTG has improved our visibility and response time to issues related to remote sites."
"It allows us to directly add individual VMs independently."
"Stable and scalable network monitoring tool. Installation is simple and straightforward."
"I really love the activity library. It gives the flexibility to discover data and metrics about my interface and data server."
"It helps the entire organization become digitally enabled."
"PRTG gives us true visibility of the downtime of particular circuit functions. So if a circuit is up but not routing traffic, I will know with this tool. I can write a customized script for a sensor to detect specific things."
"The scalability is good. You can improve a remote host or the clustering. This gives it the flexibility to monitor another infrastructure remotely."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"You cannot resolve 100 percent of the issues yourself. You would need to reach out to the support. It needs to be cheaper."
"The dashboard has some limitations and should be more user-friendly."
"Real user and UI monitoring are not practical."
"This product is little bit slow sometimes. It may be that we need to change the configuration to improve performance."
"Needs an OVA, or more support for virtual deployments. Building a virtual instance of OpManager and OpManager Probe was a bit difficult because there was no OVA available."
"The storage level monitoring needs improvement. It needs storage level monitoring on the server itself. That feature is lacking right now."
"The solution's reports need to include the number of applications consumed."
"Some of our customers have been asking that OpManager have a feature to monitor the operating system, however, I tell them that Endpoint Central is doing that. You can buy endpoints and then OpManager, and they integrate between them, and everything is okay."
"I would like to have a VM version that can be installed on a cloud such as Azure. We're using Azure, and we're eliminating on-premise servers. It would be helpful to have a PRTG version that can be installed on the Azure cloud."
"Along with more room for automation, more room for advanced configuration can be integrated into the solution."
"The icons on PRTG's network diagram are hard to find. For example, finding the icons for firewalls and servers is difficult, so we're struggling to create the network topology."
"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."
"Once you start going above 5000 sensors, things do start to get a bit shaky. There are some best practice out there that you will need to adopt and be aware of."
"I would like to see a more robust platform and a new dashboard. In addition, the code is good, but it needs improvement."
"I am not sure the solution is giving me all the needed feedback that we need. When something goes off on our IT infrastructure, it does tell me. However, it would be nice if it gave more intuitive information, e.g., the hard drive has gone up by 60 percent in an hour."
"PRTG Network Monitor can improve the reports. In the reports, you have to give an alert for that SMS and email, the emergency calls and downtimes have to be reported accordingly. You have to enable email services or an SMS gateway service to receive more alerts at the proper time."
