We performed a comparison between DX Unified Infrastructure Management and PRTG Network Monitor based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud Monitoring Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"Technical support is great."
"It is reliable when it comes to monitoring."
"Probe packages and probe deployment."
"The ability to monitor any platform. We have Windows, Linux, AIX, and mainframe all being monitored with the same UIM infrastructure."
"Scalability and flexibility. The product can grow with your infrastructure so you don't have to install other products. Just add components. It's very simple."
"It gives an alarm when there's something going on, not just when there's an expected spike that happens every night on a server."
"It reduced cycles for a lot of quick out-of-the-box functionality. It also allowed us to get away from being stuck in SNMP, VTP V2, based off of agent deployment."
"It is easy to implement but requires good planning."
"My opinion is that this solution is not very expensive."
"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."
"The most valuable features of PRTG Network Monitor are bandwidth utilization, user-friendliness, all past report simple retrievals, and timeout features. Additionally, if the solution does go down it is simple to bring it back."
"The fact that I can use custom MIB files to customize my sensors for the things that are not there as a default is a good feature."
"It gives me a live view of the traffic on the WAN."
"Technical support is helpful."
"Its initial setup process is fast and easy."
"There is a simplicity to setting up the extra sensors. It's really easy for us to build infrastructure and start monitoring very quickly."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"It would be good to implement views showing the aggregated status graphically."
"We would like to see automatic network topology."
"How we can get more native information from CA's solutions."
"They need to continue to advance the filter capabilities, and provide more input fields."
"It needs a little bit more functionality in the Admin Console."
"A useful feature to have would be automatic configuration per standard by new robots that check in for any particular customer."
"The dashboards need to be improved."
"Within this product there are individual probes, and each of these probes doesn't always necessarily output the same kind of information into our database. So when we try to collect what's called QoS data, from one probe we might get a ton of information, lots of good stuff that we can use in our database, but then from another probe, we might not get so much or we might not be able to pull the things that we want to."
"Along with more room for automation, more room for advanced configuration can be integrated into the solution."
"I would like to see Office 365 monitoring. Essentially, it doesn't do it. I assumed not at all, but apparently it does it slightly. However, due to issues with APIs, they currently don't provide full monitoring for O365."
"Integration into service management ticketing systems could be better. They should simplify the integration into big service management platforms like ServiceNow, Remedy, and Cherwell. They're really into monitoring, but they don't do any self-resolution. It would be better if the company moved more into the AIOps space so that you could actually kick off some remedies. I know that you can execute some commands from the tool, but you need to develop those all yourself. It would be really handy if they had some auto-remedy scripts that they could develop on top."
"PRTG Network Monitor can improve by adding prevention and detection features."
"I would like to see them take their graphing tools and convert them into a collector so that we can point telemetry to them"
"PRTG Network Monitor could improve by having a feature to allow uploading of preset standard network switch configurations and the ability to monitor the SLA configuration, such as uptime for the switches or internet connectivity. This would be very useful."
"PRTG would be improved if it required less memory to run."
"The database needs improvement."
