We performed a comparison between Cisco Intersight and PRTG Network Monitor based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two IT Infrastructure Monitoring solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Our organization uses Cisco Intersight since it helps manage our physical infrastructure."
"Intersight can validate our environment."
"The tool helps to manage Cisco servers."
"Scalable portfolio of services for remote device management, with good cloud integration. It's also easy to set up."
"We enjoy having an inside view of all the data centers and all the EdgeX nodes within a single portal rather than going into the EdgeX connections one by one."
"The product has good integration."
"What I like most about Cisco Intersight is its manageability."
"Provides an overall view using a single portal."
"I like the mobility of the PRTG Network Monitor and ITOps Dashboard."
"My opinion is that this solution is not very expensive."
"The solution provides us response times to issues."
"It is easy when it comes to dependencies of devices, so if your router goes down, the three or four switches behind it will automatically be paused so that you don't get multiple alerts."
"We use the remote probes a lot for our branch offices. Instead of deploying the full instance of PRTG, we'll put a remote probe out there. This simplifies the whole deployment for us."
"The Slack integration is fantastic, and I've actually found it to be very useful recently."
"The bandwidth monitoring is a very attractive feature, it can tell you the bandwidth utilization while it is attempting to connect to the host for feedback."
"The solution is very easy to use and the web provides information with ease."
"The usability must be better."
"Cisco Intersight needs some improvement in terms of stability. Hybrid cloud management and proper hyperscaler tie-up are other areas for improvement."
"The solution needs some enhancement in order to build the cluster in two nodes."
"The product's setup should be easier."
"An area for improvement in Cisco Intersight is automation. It needs more automation capabilities. Apart from enhanced automation, I want Cisco Intersight to integrate with third-party monitoring tools in its next release."
"In the future, the solution needs to plan on an extension to cover a broader range of objects since, at present, there are some Cisco devices within the range of Intersight UCS that it can't manage."
"The product could be easy to use."
"The unique problem with Cisco Intersight is that it's not supporting some players."
"The technical support service should be improved."
"Sometimes, our PRTG Network Monitor system crashes and a lot of sensors go down."
"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."
"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 can improve by having better integration with devices."
"PRTG access works best from the web GUI. There are dedicated apps on Windows/Android/iOS, but they are slow and don’t work as well as the web GUI."
"The Desktop app is good but it can be really sluggish at times, especially when you're editing different elements."
"There seems to be a big jump from the basic scan to the really thorough scan. There is a big jump in the quantity of sensors it uses for certain things. One minute you might get ten and then the next you get 200. There seems to be a big jump between the two at times."
