We performed a comparison between Nutanix Prism and PRTG Network Monitor based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Virtualization Management Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."You can go directly to the Prism dashboard and it gives you all the information. It's easy to use. I have worked on other platforms but the single pane of glass that Prism has is very helpful for seeing what's going on in your environment: usage, storage, capacity, and behavior."
"The auto-update option is a valuable feature for us."
"Nutanix Prism is very fast compared to VMware and whatever you need to do, you can do it quickly."
"It also does a good job when it comes to optimizing performance with machine learning and AI. It's able to identify the VMs that are constrained and not constrained, and which ones are "bully" or not. It gives you a recommendation based on your usage. It learns your user environment."
"I like the general usability for general configuration. It is sufficient for everyday operations."
"The storage management is one of the best."
"I don't know how to explain how much time and effort switching to Nutanix HCI has saved us. It's 80 percent more time-efficient and convenient than having to use multiple interfaces to deal with storage and compute in our hypervisor."
"Duplication and compression work for data in a hybrid solution."
"The email notifications are helpful, and the dashboards are user-friendly for people with little network monitoring knowledge."
"The authentication links into our standard Active Directory authentication, which is very good."
"It is a user-friendly solution."
"The real-time monitoring and alerting are its most valuable features."
"The solution is easy to manage and the reports are very accurate."
"It is pretty simple to use, which is always a good thing. It's been very reliable in updating us if any issues crop up."
"One of the valuable features is the diversity of metrics available to us to monitor. It's all there, it's all in the box. It's all made very easy, by virtue of it being pre-configured."
"Technical support has been very helpful so far."
"The simplicity that Prism provides is something of a dual-edged sword. It can be almost too simple at times. When there is an issue and something is really wrong, it can make it a little more difficult to track it down because the Prism interface is very limited for drilling down into those highly technical or highly complicated errors."
"The pricing could be improved."
"The licensing cost has room for improvement."
"The replication we have does not have any backup systems built-in. We have to separate license records for backup, like onboard. We would like to have this in a future release."
"The interface is good, but it needs improvements. There are a lot of functions that are only available in the CLI. In addition, some of the hardware components could be improved. We already had some trouble with disks."
"There are no firewall policies."
"Does not yet have micro application using a company's provider."
"The main area where an improvement could be made would be the pricing."
"We would like to monitor certain aspects of the user experience. We should be able to analyze the cause of end user experience, bad or good, so we can do some research and development on our own."
"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."
"I would like to see more updates available in this solution."
"PRTG could use reporting tools and mobile alert tools. It should be easier to diagnose and respond to problems from a mobile device on the go."
"PRTG Network Monitor is okay to use, but you'll need some time to analyze the data. If it can automatically locate or identify the problem area, it would be more helpful to users."
"I would like to see them take their graphing tools and convert them into a collector so that we can point telemetry to them"
"The remote probes seem to be a little bit buggy at times. They just stop working or they say they can't communicate. What we tend to do to is install the remote app onto the servers that we use. That seems to clear it up."
"This product can be improved by updating the net flow interface. The one that is in place works – I can get all the information I need from it – but it is a little bit clunky."
