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."I really love the activity library. It gives the flexibility to discover data and metrics about my interface and data server."
"We like the alerting system, the SNMP monitoring and the customization of the bandwidth."
"The most valuable features of PRTG Network Monitor are the threshold notification when certain traffic increases and goes beyond the defined threshold. The up and down status email notifications and other notifications are useful. Additionally, it is user-friendly, and customizable, and there are many features available."
"The most valuable feature of PRTG Network Monitor is the different monitoring probes available."
"The product is simple and easy to implement."
"The initial setup is very simple."
"From a network point of view, we can see the state of the network, as well as bandwidth usage and downtime."
"PRTG is relatively intuitive and fairly straightforward. It has net flow monitoring and that works all right. I would describe it as a decent middle-of-the-road solution."
"I find the monitoring console very helpful. With one click, I can see how we are performing, and at the same time, I can see what data is flowing."
"The product retains a lot of log data for subsequent analysis."
"The alerts are the most valuable feature."
"The tool is efficient in collecting, monitoring and evaluating logs."
"The most valuable feature in this solution is the log searching."
"The Add data feature lets you gather any type of log and easily analyze it."
"The most valuable thing that we have seen within our group is the ability to ingest all this raw data and have it organized in a certain way so that different groups can get effective alerting from this massive amount of raw data that is out there."
"Great monitoring of network devices."
"I would like the ability to monitor Cisco IRS devices."
"This solution is a good product so far, but I haven't been using it long enough to know how it could be improved."
"The scalability of this solution could improve as well as the automated provisioning of the infrastructure."
"Mostly, this software has sensors for devices to monitor specs and you can build or develop or modify various sensors, according to your company's needs. But you may need to do that with coding or plugins or with the support of Paessler AG, the manufacturer."
"The database needs improvement."
"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."
"PRTG Network Monitor could improve by having descriptions for the tab usages. The dashboards or interface could be easier to understand."
"Other monitoring tools that I have used are easier to use."
"The implementation can be more user-friendly."
"We have both on-prem and cloud, and the challenge is getting all our log data aggregated or streams aggregated so that it is real-time. We do a pretty good job of that, but our organization is not using it as a security platform when it can do a great job of that."
"The clustering part of indexes can be more refined."
"Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring's data analytics can be improved by including suggestions for various types of continuous monitoring."
"The deployment can be quite complex."
"They need more EDR functionalities."
"They do not have all the features that I expect right now."
"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."
