We performed a comparison between Elastic Observability 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."I have built a mini business intelligence system based on Elastic Observability."
"For full stack observability, Elastic is the best tool compared with any other tool ."
"The tool's most valuable feature is centralized logging. Elastic Common Search helps us to search for the logs across the organization."
"Good design and easy to use once implemented."
"Machine learning is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"The architecture and system's stability are simple."
"It has always been a stable solution."
"It's easy to deploy, and it's very flexible."
"PRTG Network Monitor helps us quickly and easily discover a large number of sensors, so we can spend minimal time monitoring customer sites."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is being able to see things graphically."
"There is a simplicity to setting up the extra sensors. It's really easy for us to build infrastructure and start monitoring very quickly."
"The product is easy to use and the web interface is fantastic."
"The remote probe feature in PRTG Network Monitor helps you monitor remote systems or your network at a lower cost than other solutions."
"Nice product with an easy interface to use and a large variety of sensors."
"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."
"There's a steep learning curve if you've never used this solution before."
"The price is the only issue in the solution. It can be made better and cheaper."
"There could be more low-code features included in the product."
"More web features could be added to the product."
"Elastic APM's visualization is not that great compared to other tools. It's number of metrics is very low."
"Elastic Observability’s price could be improved."
"In the future, Elastic APM needs a portfolio iTool. They can provide an easy way to develop the custom UI for Kibana."
"Elastic Observability needs to improve the retrieval of logs and metrics from all the instances."
"PRTG's documentation could be improved."
"This solution is a good product so far, but I haven't been using it long enough to know how it could be improved."
"PRTG's application monitoring sensor is not strong."
"The technical support could respond a little bit quicker."
"We have had a few issues with the web elements, as far as the dashboard. With the dashboard, it has to be manually refreshed. Occasionally, we reboot the server, or at least web services, due to the web aspect."
"Needs ability to monitor standard notification time (notify after X time)."
"The only sort of limitation is the actual probes. So, if you don't have enough probes on there, you can over flip them and cause the WMI sensors and SNMP sensors to sort of overload. Sometimes, they might timeout for a minute, but they do come back."
"I am not sure the solution is giving me all the needed feedback that we need. When something goes off on our IT infrastructure, it does tell me. However, it would be nice if it gave more intuitive information, e.g., the hard drive has gone up by 60 percent in an hour."
