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."The real-time monitoring and alerting are its most valuable features."
"The initial setup is very simple."
"There is a simplicity to setting up the extra sensors. It's really easy for us to build infrastructure and start monitoring very quickly."
"One of the valuable features is the diversity of metrics available to us to monitor. It's all there, it's all in the box. It's all made very easy, by virtue of it being pre-configured."
"PRTG Network Monitor's best features are its flexibility, ease of implementation, user-friendliness, and intuitive interfaces."
"The most valuable feature of PRTG Network Monitor is its ease of use."
"The scalability is good. You can improve a remote host or the clustering. This gives it the flexibility to monitor another infrastructure remotely."
"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."
"The solution's most valuable aspect is its ability to get information about all of the security measurements in my environment."
"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 feature I find most valuable, is the data integration."
"The solution's basic visibility is one of its most valuable features. So, it is a solution that is easy to use...The solution's initial setup process was straightforward."
"The most valuable feature is log reporting."
"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."
"The ability to create custom dashboards is one of the best features and that's typically why most people deploy Splunk. Users can create dashboards for just about anything."
"The technical support could respond a little bit quicker."
"I've encountered a challenge in my functions, particularly in adding and printing."
"Sometimes, our PRTG Network Monitor system crashes and a lot of sensors go down."
"I would like to see Office 365 monitoring. Essentially, it doesn't do it. I assumed not at all, but apparently it does it slightly. However, due to issues with APIs, they currently don't provide full monitoring for O365."
"The solution could be better and faster when it comes to performance."
"The product could be improved by being cross-platform friendly."
"Needs ability to monitor standard notification time (notify after X time)."
"When using PRTG Network Monitor it is beneficial if you have prior experience with it, the user interface could improve."
"The solution's stability is an area that has room for improvement. It needs to provide constant stability to its users."
"It's a bit difficult to use. It takes some time to get into it and to get it to do what you would like it to do. It is not straightforward to use it."
"A lot of customers had a hard time effectively searching within the data in Splunk. There is a learning curve from searches to indexes and using all the macros that we have created. It is a little difficult for somebody who has not used it quite a bit and does not have a lot of practice with it, but the AI features that we have been hearing about through Splunk will make it a lot easier for us to use human language to search this data. That is big. That is pretty powerful, and that will help a lot with our customers."
"The end-to-end visibility is lacking because Splunk cannot directly monitor network devices."
"The cost needs to be re-examined. It's extremely expensive to run. It's also expensive to expand. That's the number one complaint all of my customers have when it comes to Splunk. It's way too expensive compared to other solutions."
"They need more EDR functionalities."
"The price has room for improvement."
"The implementation can be more user-friendly."
