We performed a comparison between PRTG Network Monitor and ScienceLogic 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 single dashboard is a valuable feature."
"We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"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 is user-friendly. It is easy to set up health checks within PRTG and use scans. It is like a self-service tool, and anyone can configure their own settings within PRTG."
"I like the mobility of the PRTG Network Monitor and ITOps Dashboard."
"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."
"There was only one feature I liked about PRTG Network Monitor a lot, and that was bandwidth monitoring, though, in the newer versions of the tool, that feature is now a bit lacking. Pricing for PRTG Network Monitor is also not as expensive. It's a good tool, even for beginners."
"We have asked questions of their technical support and they have a very good response time."
"The installation is not that complex."
"Good compilation of the system's information."
"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."
"The best feature is the highly flexible graphs."
"Power packs."
"Best feature of all is detailed monitoring of services, processes, ports and SSL certificates and or web content."
"I'm satisfied with ScienceLogicfor for what they can offer today because they can offer both serverless connectivity and agent connectivity."
"It has good monitoring capabilities across cloud environments, data centers, and hybrid environments."
"Dynamic Component Mapping is key and unique."
"Provides agentless monitoring so there's no need to install the agent on each server."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The technical support needs improvement."
"We run it in a cluster, so we have two that run together. The cluster behind it is sketchy at times."
"This solution is a good product so far, but I haven't been using it long enough to know how it could be improved."
"I would like to see network mapping."
"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,"
"PRTG Network Monitor can improve Layer 2 and Layer 3 network maps and the GUI more user-friendly. Additionally, they should bundle the features so I can monitor everything on one particular device."
"Performance-wise, PRTG Network Monitor still needs improvement because a large number of SNMPv3 queries reduces tool performance."
"It would be nice if it gave us alerts via Gmail or SMS message."
"Technical support is an area with concerns in PRTG Network Monitor, where improvements are required."
"It doesn't have the complete application-level topology. It could have service topology and business service monitoring. I would like to see how business service monitoring will function with agent-based installation, and how flexible and business-oriented it is for service modeling and service infrastructure. I have a lot of experience in using business service monitoring, service topology, and service hierarchy functionalities in similar products from BMC and Micro Focus (OpenView), and I want to see how these functionalities will look like in ScienceLogic."
"They should improve database issues in HA and Failover mode, and provide documentation for all users , even if they are not customers."
"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."
"One important area we feel could be improved is the UI. It takes a lot of clicks to do very simple tasks."
"I would like to see out-of-the-box standard dashboards for common services."
"It was challenging onboarding users."
"Admins do not have direct access to the reporting."
"ScienceLogic should provide detailed documents to customer as the current documents are not sufficient."
