We performed a comparison between PRTG Network Monitor and ScienceLogic based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Network 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."
"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 most valuable feature is the notifications. As long as you spend time and think about what and when you want to be notified, it's always accurate. It is always there. I find things out before my Internet provider."
"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 sensors and remote probes are phenomenal. We use them for all of our global sites. The problem with our global sites are that they are all VPNs. If the link goes down, you can't monitor other solutions, as it just goes off the grid. Having remote probes allows them to still carry on and get the information that we need when it comes back up, sending the information to us."
"The reporting module is easy to configure."
"It is a user-friendly solution."
"The initial setup was easy. We didn't have any issues with the process and everything rolled out smoothly."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"It is simple."
"Its ITSM and EMS combination is really amazing. There is no need to purchase two products, one for ITSM and a second for EMS/NMS."
"ScienceLogic allows us to create and customize a user-friendly dashboard."
"The most valuable features of ScienceLogic are AI and machine learning."
"Best feature of all is detailed monitoring of services, processes, ports and SSL certificates and or web content."
"Provides agentless monitoring so there's no need to install the agent on each server."
"Dynamic Component Mapping is key and unique."
"Science Logic provides distributed and all-in-one concept in monitoring, you can easily customize the features in this product."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The Desktop app is good but it can be really sluggish at times, especially when you're editing different elements."
"Improvements in data storage flexibility, such as allowing customers to specify data retention periods, would enhance PRTG."
"PRTG's documentation could be improved."
"There seems to be a big jump from the basic scan to the really thorough scan. There is a big jump in the quantity of sensors it uses for certain things. One minute you might get ten and then the next you get 200. There seems to be a big jump between the two at times."
"In a very few cases, customers want more detailed reports, which we cannot meet."
"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."
"We need something that is more predictive. We would prefer if it wasn't a solution that was corrective and instead offered predictive insights so that we can handle problems before they even occur."
"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."
"Admins do not have direct access to the reporting."
"ScienceLogic does not have application monitoring. We definitely need something integrated within ScienceLogic to monitor applications so that we don't have to rely on monitoring tools to monitor other applications. At least the ones that are market leaders, such as SAP, Oracle, and others."
"From a performance perspective, it needs to improve a lot."
"ScienceLogic could improve the implementation, it could be made easier."
"They need a little more self-service."
"We want to understand: how does the back end work? What if some problem occurs? What we can do? They need to provide more information."
"There are often bugs in new releases."
"The product is not user-friendly."
