We performed a comparison between Grafana Enterprise Stack and PRTG Network Monitor 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 most valuable features of Grafana for data visualization are its ability to create intuitive dashboards and its wide range of visualization options like graphs, charts, and tables."
"The tool's most valuable feature is real-time monitoring. It helps in securing the application or the node by allowing us to monitor and manage resource consumption during peak times. For instance, from 10 AM to 2 PM, we may experience high memory utilization. It helps us to solve these issues."
"The most valuable feature of Grafana Enterprise Stack is the dashboards."
"Ease of set-up – it is quick and easy to add a probe and start collecting data from a device."
"The initial setup is pretty easy."
"The scalability is good. You can improve a remote host or the clustering. This gives it the flexibility to monitor another infrastructure remotely."
"It gives me a live view of the traffic on the WAN."
"I found PRTG Network Monitor very useful for troubleshooting and monitoring the utilization of either the network or server."
"We can see which fiber links have been used heavily and, if they are used heavily, we can introduce more links to particular buildings or particular areas."
"The feature whereby it shows when my hard drives are moving towards thresholds that would be considered outages, before they reach that point - that is valuable."
"It's very easy to manage when you've got time to do some work on it: things like adding devices, adding groups, adding sensor clusters, and being able to clone and move stuff around."
"The solution should include integration with Power BI."
"I have encountered occasional issues with false inputs or incorrect data in Grafana."
"The tool needs to show only fewer updates."
"We run it in a cluster, so we have two that run together. The cluster behind it is sketchy at times."
"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,"
"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."
"PRTG Network Monitor can improve by adding prevention and detection features."
"The product could be improved by being cross-platform friendly."
"The automation should be improved."
"We would like more cloud native sensors for AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, etc. A lot of businesses are moving in that direction, so having something where we can pull performance stats out of these cloud services would be great for us."
"PRTG's application monitoring sensor is not strong."
