We performed a comparison between Nutanix Prism and PRTG Network Monitor based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Virtualization Management Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."For me, the speed of cloning virtual machines and the hyper-convergence feature are the most valuable aspects of the solution."
"The GUI and the dashboard are impressive. I like that you can modify the GUI and the dashboard as per your requirements."
"The solution is a high-performance platform that effectively handles three-layered issues like SA and network fiber cables."
"Nutanix Prism offers web scaling, which facilitates easy scaling."
"Prism Central is a single point to manage every cluster. Everything can be managed in one panel. Everything is there on the main page of the dashboard."
"The most valuable features are Prism Central and the Disaster Recovery."
"The feature that stands out for me is the simplicity and ease of use. That is what comes to mind when I think about the Prism console. You don't need to be a core technical person to manage a cluster. Everything is available in the console itself."
"Nutanix Prism's dashboard is very simple, and you don't need much knowledge to use it."
"The solution is easy to manage and the reports are very accurate."
"It is a central solution in terms of how to actually use it. It has a very easy dashboard. Everything is concise. We are able to create custom sensors. For different parts of the business, we have many products across many environments, and it works for everything."
"The most valuable features of PRTG Network Monitor are user-friendly, and the graphical interface is good for all the network devices that are mapped in this organization. It's very easy to find reports for any devices that we are looking for."
"It is a very stable solution. There are no bugs, glitches and we have not experienced any crashing."
"The technical support seems to be quick, clever, and has a comprehensive knowledge base online, which is fantastic."
"PRTG gives us true visibility of the downtime of particular circuit functions. So if a circuit is up but not routing traffic, I will know with this tool. I can write a customized script for a sensor to detect specific things."
"The best feature is that it lets me know what is going on. I need to know if something has gone down, I need to know if something is running very slowly. PRTG tells me that."
"Ease of set-up – it is quick and easy to add a probe and start collecting data from a device."
"The cost is a negative aspect."
"The stability has room for improvement."
"I would like to see the integration of native, one-click "open support ticket" functionality for errors generated by the system within Prism. Currently, we have to manually open a support ticket in a separate web browser and manually input the error information."
"Some of the products are not interoperable for multi-cloud or multi-site tasks."
"Performance metrics and analytics could be improved."
"Although this solution has very good analytics capabilities, it can be even more granular."
"Nutanix does not support all of the Linux distributions, so we have to use VMware in some cases."
"Nutanix is a great product, but I won't say it is a data center product. If it could leverage or work with non-Nutanix infrastructure, it would be a total data center solution. Right now, with Prism Central, we can only manage Nutanix clusters."
"PRTG Network Monitor can improve the reports. In the reports, you have to give an alert for that SMS and email, the emergency calls and downtimes have to be reported accordingly. You have to enable email services or an SMS gateway service to receive more alerts at the proper time."
"I would like to see a more robust platform and a new dashboard. In addition, the code is good, but it needs improvement."
"There is room for improvement in this solution for the performance and third-party monitoring protocols. They need to be updated to the latest ones."
"Can be slow in the way it polls the different engines."
"When it comes to third-party integration, one of the things we were looking at was putting some sensors onto our firewall, for instance. If there were a little bit more documentation and some step-by-step guides around that, that would be useful for us."
"PRTG's application monitoring sensor is not strong."
"The technical support could respond a little bit quicker."
"I've encountered a challenge in my functions, particularly in adding and printing."
