Find out what your peers are saying about Zabbix, Datadog, Auvik and others in Network Monitoring Software."We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"The single dashboard is a valuable feature."
"It is great for service level agreements and can comply fully with internet monitoring or any interface."
"I like the mobility of the PRTG Network Monitor and ITOps Dashboard."
"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 solution is scalable."
"Ease of set-up – it is quick and easy to add a probe and start collecting data from a device."
"One of its valuable features is the fact that it handles multiple operating systems... And I like the fact that it tells me when things are about to fall over, which means I can preempt it and not have to wake up at three in the morning to fix it."
"The scalability is good. You can improve a remote host or the clustering. This gives it the flexibility to monitor another infrastructure remotely."
"I really love the activity library. It gives the flexibility to discover data and metrics about my interface and data server."
"The product can scale."
"The technical support needs improvement."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The solution has to evolve as an end-to-end monitoring solution. It has to do better at understanding the application at the deepest level."
"The clustering aspect needs improvement, as there is a bit of confusion about you do when hit that 5000 probe mark."
"Maybe in the future there will be room for improvement, but currently, there is nothing pressing that I can think of"
"I would like a more straightforward ability to create dashboards and maps. The network maps should be a bit more flexibility in the GUI to do what we need to do."
"Needs ability to monitor standard notification time (notify after X time)."
"The technical support could respond a little bit quicker."
"They just released a newer version of the desktop app, a beta version, that I have been trialing out.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"
"There's always room for improvement. The high availability feature is good, but it's an area that PRTG could marginally improve. For example, in PRTG, both servers have a different IP, but it would make things a lot easier if they were bound by a single IP."
"I can't recall coming across any missing features."
