Find out in this report how the two Network Monitoring Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"The single dashboard is a valuable feature."
"All in all, LiveAction LiveNX has become an indispensable tool for maintaining and improving our network's reliability and performance, ultimately supporting our organization's goal of providing timely and dependable delivery services."
"Its analytical capability is really good."
"One of the valuable features is the ability to create CLI scripts on the fly to fix any issues. We were using it for QoS modeling to ensure that we were properly modeling QoS, and it basically said here is what you need to fix to get this QoS done, whether it is ACL or something else. It would either push or recommend. If you have the right credentials, you could also push. It is very good if you are a Cisco shop. It gives you reporting, latency, and bandwidth utilization for your applications, so you can do good capacity management planning. There are a lot of pieces that LiveNX can give you. It is a total NPM solution for SD-WAN."
"We don't have any complaints about the software. According to my team, it's a very good tool that's very intuitive."
"The intention and the idea of the filter is great."
"The product has a very good graphical interface."
"The alerting feature is very good because it allows you to set MOS alerts at various network junctures or data points."
"I like the mobility of the PRTG Network Monitor and ITOps Dashboard."
"From a network point of view, we can see the state of the network, as well as bandwidth usage and downtime."
"The best feature is that it lets me know what is going on. I need to know if something has gone down, I need to know if something is running very slowly. PRTG tells me that."
"My opinion is that this solution is not very expensive."
"The most valuable feature of PRTG Network Monitor is real-time monitoring."
"The fact that I can use custom MIB files to customize my sensors for the things that are not there as a default is a good feature."
"The most valuable features of PRTG Network Monitor are bandwidth utilization, user-friendliness, all past report simple retrievals, and timeout features. Additionally, if the solution does go down it is simple to bring it back."
"The reporting module is easy to configure."
"The technical support needs improvement."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"They need to create a more simplified UI."
"The tool crashes sometimes when we try to pull reports simultaneously."
"This is a horrible solution and I think everything needs to be improved."
"Sometimes the solution does not register devices properly and that is a bug."
"The only downside to this software is the price."
"Improved documentation and more responsive customer support can help in addressing issues faster."
"It is not as robust as other NPM solutions. For instance, there is a problem while labeling specific applications. It works well with well-known applications, but when you have to put in new applications that are not very known and set them up with names, ports, URLs, or some protocols, it is not as intuitive."
"We need something that is more predictive. We would prefer if it wasn't a solution that was corrective and instead offered predictive insights so that we can handle problems before they even occur."
"The technical support could respond a little bit quicker."
"If PRTG could help me see the bandwidth for each host I have on my network, either for a wireless or a wired network, that would be very helpful."
"Sometimes, our PRTG Network Monitor system crashes and a lot of sensors go down."
"There seems to be a big jump from the basic scan to the really thorough scan. There is a big jump in the quantity of sensors it uses for certain things. One minute you might get ten and then the next you get 200. There seems to be a big jump between the two at times."
"The free version only gives us 100 free sensors to use. It would be nice if there was double that."
"The remote probes seem to be a little bit buggy at times. They just stop working or they say they can't communicate. What we tend to do to is install the remote app onto the servers that we use. That seems to clear it up."
"We're using more cloud services now. It would be useful to be able to get information back from these cloud services in detail, and display any issues within PRTG for the rest of our systems."
