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 technical support seems to be quick, clever, and has a comprehensive knowledge base online, which is fantastic."
"PRTG has improved our visibility and response time to issues related to remote sites."
"The authentication links into our standard Active Directory authentication, which is very good."
"It is able to satisfy all our requirements in terms of email notifications and specific errors on the devices."
"Speed of deployment is one of the most valuable features."
"The product is simple and easy to implement."
"We can see which fiber links have been used heavily and, if they are used heavily, we can introduce more links to particular buildings or particular areas."
"Network Discovery is a feature that our customers like a lot."
"The solution has made us more secure."
"Splunk is stable, and this is why many customers want it."
"The search function for spam is like a google search. You just enter and it will quickly show you the results."
"It gives us the liberty to do more in terms of use cases."
"It is user-friendly. It is more effective than other solutions. The support and help for troubleshooting and the documentation from Splunk make it very effective."
"The ability to view all of these different logs, then drilling down into specific times or into specific data sources, has proved to be the greatest aspect in decreasing our troubleshooting overhead time."
"We have a more secure, robust environment, which keeps the harmful software out of the zone required."
"It's better than IBM, in my opinion, because it's an independent entity."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"Their penetration within the market could be much better. If their pricing was lower, even though it's reasonable now, it might help them achieve this."
"Its price can be better. Its price is a problem for us because it is in dollars, and there is a high conversion rate. In terms of new features, it can have BGP monitoring. It should also have a dashboard and maps editor."
"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."
"In terms of sensors and probes, it would be really cool if PRTG had a purely Azure-based solution. We had to install a probe on one of our cloud servers and then let that probe out from there. It would be really cool if it just monitored Azure without having to install something on the device."
"Other monitoring tools that I have used are easier to use."
"The technical support could respond a little bit quicker."
"We run it in a cluster, so we have two that run together. The cluster behind it is sketchy at times."
"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."
"I think the tech support response time could be a bit better. Sometimes I need to wait more than 24 hours for a response to my tickets."
"In the next releases, I would like to see more pricing flexibility."
"Splunk does not build apps. They only go back and validate the apps that somebody has already built. They should have remote consulting support. They have a wonderful solution. They have 24/7 security. Nobody needs to depend on any third party and will therefore just buy Splunk on the cloud."
"It needs more thoroughly tested releases. Every new big version (6, 7, etc.) has had so many bugs that it makes me wary of customers upgrading right away."
"I would like some additional AI capabilities to provide additional information about things going wrong and things going well."
"While there aren't any major areas where the solution has to be improved, there are certain integrations that are still not available. I would specifically like to see legacy applications integrated."
"The product must improve insider threat detection."
"It's difficult to set up initially, and their billing model is also a bit complicated."
