We performed a comparison between PRTG Network Monitor and Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring 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."The solution provides us with needed feedback on our IT infrastructure. It gives us really good quality of service when it comes to monitoring of available space and available resources. It allows us to preempt issues before they become a problem for the business."
"The sensors and probes are great, nice and lightweight, they don't take up too many resources on the system. We just deploy them out and they start reporting instantly."
"I think net flow is PRTG's most valuable feature because it doesn't cost much for us because the net flow sensor is already included in the PRTG license. We can monitor our traffic in our proxy and router."
"Its proactiveness is its most valuable feature. We already know when we come in, in the morning, if a server or site is down, as opposed to someone telling us."
"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."
"The most valuable aspect is the diverse range of features it offers."
"The real-time monitoring feature in PRTG is invaluable to me"
"Stable and scalable network monitoring tool. Installation is simple and straightforward."
"The most valuable feature is log reporting."
"The feature I find most valuable, is the data integration."
"The alerts are the most valuable feature."
"The product retains a lot of log data for subsequent analysis."
"The most valuable feature in this solution is the log searching."
"Great monitoring of network devices."
"We haven't really experienced any glitches or bugs."
"The tool is efficient in collecting, monitoring and evaluating logs."
"The solution could be better and faster when it comes to performance."
"Sometimes, our PRTG Network Monitor system crashes and a lot of sensors go down."
"Performance-wise, PRTG Network Monitor still needs improvement because a large number of SNMPv3 queries reduces tool performance."
"The scalability of this solution could improve as well as the automated provisioning of the infrastructure."
"PRTG Network Monitor can improve by having better integration with devices."
"The dashboarding definitely needs improvement."
"I wouldn't mind better categories for the sensors. When I go to add a new sensor for a new device, there are some categories in there already, and they can be filtered out, but there's quite a large pool of sensors... When I want to go in and find something quite specific, I have got to scroll down and scroll down to find what I'm actually looking for,"
"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."
"A lot of customers had a hard time effectively searching within the data in Splunk. There is a learning curve from searches to indexes and using all the macros that we have created. It is a little difficult for somebody who has not used it quite a bit and does not have a lot of practice with it, but the AI features that we have been hearing about through Splunk will make it a lot easier for us to use human language to search this data. That is big. That is pretty powerful, and that will help a lot with our customers."
"There is a lot of room for improvement with the automation."
"I would like to see an improvement and some innovation in the customer interface."
"The solution's stability is an area that has room for improvement. It needs to provide constant stability to its users."
"They do not have all the features that I expect right now."
"The product collects a lot of data but it does not assure that it collects all of it."
"It would be useful if they provided some help pages. If you don't know too much about the tool, there should be more documentation readily available. It would be useful if they had a help button embedded in the solution so you could ask questions and get answers."
"We still use Splunk Enterprise licensing. A lot of the newer features go into Splunk Cloud before Enterprise. We're not looking to switch our licensing over, so we're falling behind on the newer features."
