We performed a comparison between Azure Monitor and PRTG Network Monitor based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Zabbix, New Relic and others in Cloud Monitoring Software."The dashboard allows us to easily track various metrics and quickly understand the overall health of our system."
"Azure Monitor's best features are its graphs and charts, the different visibility options, and reporting."
"A product that is well-integrated for monitoring Microsoft Azure."
"Technical support is good and helpful...The initial setup is easy."
"We like this searchability and availability of the data."
"The most valuable features of Azure Monitor are the login analytics workspace and we can write any kind of custom queries in order to receive the data that is inserted into the login analytics workspace, diagnostic settings, et cetera."
"Azure Monitor is a very easy-to-use product in the cloud environment."
"The most valuable feature is that it's stable. It hasn't crossed any thresholds."
"Its proactiveness is its most valuable feature. We already know when we come in, in the morning, if a server or site is down, as opposed to someone telling us."
"The real-time monitoring and alerting are its most valuable features."
"It helps the entire organization become digitally enabled."
"I think net flow is PRTG's most valuable feature because it doesn't cost much for us because the net flow sensor is already included in the PRTG license. We can monitor our traffic in our proxy and router."
"Stable and scalable network monitoring tool. Installation is simple and straightforward."
"I would boldly say that this is the most scalable network monitoring tool that I know of"
"The solution is easy to manage and the reports are very accurate."
"We can see trends for a lot of different things, such as hard drive space and bandwidth usage. We can see and plan for the future by knowing, "We're sort of at 75% capacity now. In three months time, we know we're going to be up to 90%,so we need to plan ahead for it, getting upgrades booked in place." Since things like this take time and effort, it's handy to see trends into the future of where our company is going."
"When something goes down, we want the option to have automation in place to get it back up again as quickly as possible."
"We encounter some difficulties in monitoring the operating system on its own."
"The monitoring of Kubernetes clusters needs improvement to be on par with competitors."
"In my opinion, they should improve the overall user experience, especially when it comes to indexing and searching collective logs."
"n comparison to New Relic, which I've used before, it's a bit more complicated. It's not as easy to use. It also took some time to get it working. The implementation needs to be simpler."
"Azure Monitor could improve the visualization aspect and integrate better with other third-party services."
"Although it's not always the case, the price can sometimes get expensive. This depends on a number of factors, such as how many services you are trying to integrate with Azure Monitor and how much storage they're consuming each month (for example, how large are the log files?)."
"Enhancing and reaching a level of detail that facilitates pinpointing and addressing issues at such a refined level within the application and database components would be helpful."
"This product can be improved by updating the net flow interface. The one that is in place works – I can get all the information I need from it – but it is a little bit clunky."
"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."
"Other monitoring tools that I have used are easier to use."
"A room for improvement in PRTG Network Monitor is its sensors. Its application technology sensor, such as the IAS, .NET, etc., needs some improvement because it doesn't work as expected. For example, the IAS sensor doesn't give immediate information, and the information you get from it isn't of good value. The web GUI of PRTG Network Monitor also needs improvement because errors keep popping up if it's not been updated to the latest version. What I'd like to see in the next release of the tool is end-to-end topology mapping for the business model, and that should be required. There has to be a technical map. Technical mapping and topological creation are missing in PRTG Network Monitor, so I would like to see those in the future."
"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."
"Sometimes, our PRTG Network Monitor system crashes and a lot of sensors go down."
"In our organization, we encounter performance issues with our PRTG probe service. I saw documentation from the vendor or Paessler mentioning that there are limitations for WMI sensors. Other than that, we are okay with PRTG."
"I would like to see network mapping."

Hi to all. On my view, the PRTG would be the better decisionт as external independent solution. In addition, based on my own experience, PRTG is a more flexible tool that can be quickly configured for any task
Request you to kindly check out Infraon IMS tool. It is a comprehensive IT Infra monitoring tool covering core components like firewalls, routers, switches, servers, storage, applications, databases along with peripheral components like Access Points, IP Phones, IP Cameras etc. Cloud monitoring (AWS & Azure) and SD-WAN monitoring is also available.
Zabbix is an open-source monitoring software tool for diverse IT components, including networks, servers, virtual machines (VMs) and cloud services. Zabbix provides monitoring metrics, among others network utilization, CPU load and disk space consumption. Zabbix monitoring configuration can be done using XML based templates which contain elements to monitor. The software monitors operations on Linux, Hewlett Packard Unix (HP-UX), Mac OS X, Solaris and other operating systems (OSes); however, Windows monitoring is only possible through agents. Zabbix can use MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, SQLite, Oracle or IBM DB2 to store data. Its backend is written in C and the web frontend is written in PHP. Zabbix offers several monitoring options:
Simple checks can verify the availability and responsiveness of standard services such as SMTP or HTTP without installing any software on the monitored host.
A Zabbix agent can also be installed on UNIX and Windows hosts to monitor statistics such as CPU load, network utilization, disk space, etc.
As an alternative to installing an agent on hosts, Zabbix includes support for monitoring via SNMP, TCP and ICMP checks, as well as over IPMI, JMX, SSH, Telnet and using custom parameters. Zabbix supports a variety of near-real-time notification mechanisms, including XMPP.
Released under the terms of GNU General Public License version 2, Zabbix is free software.
