Find out what your peers are saying about Zabbix, Datadog, Auvik and others in Network Monitoring Software."We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"Network visibility is the most valuable feature."
"Good compilation of the system's information."
"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."
"Accessibility, ease of use (Web GUI, MobileApps). In general, compared with other software"
"It is a user-friendly solution."
"It is a very stable solution. There are no bugs, glitches and we have not experienced any crashing."
"I can create my own program sensor. This means I can add extra monitoring capabilities into the already fundamentally strong foundation."
"It improves the status of my infrastructure, from networking devices to real-time machines."
"Speed of deployment is one of the most valuable features."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The pricing and AI can be improved."
"I would like to see network mapping."
"PRTG does not allow us to scan devices like we can scan software or another problem in it. Also, I cannot draw graphical graphs in Woodview/look. Another problem is that we cannot draw a good diagram in PRTG."
"PRTG Network Monitor is okay to use, but you'll need some time to analyze the data. If it can automatically locate or identify the problem area, it would be more helpful to users."
"It probably has this already, but if it had a mobile app that would be helpful. For example, on a day like today when I'm out, if I could just fire it up and see green, green, green, green, green or red, that would be good."
"Sometimes, it is difficult to drill down further to get information, e.g., if we saw spike in traffic, then we would want to drill down and find out what is causing that spike in traffic."
"We would like to monitor certain aspects of the user experience. We should be able to analyze the cause of end user experience, bad or good, so we can do some research and development on our own."
"I know we're going to move to Docker applications and I understand that PRTG does some monitoring regarding this. I do not know if it is complete. If it's not yet complete, it's something they should consider improving."
"Sometimes, our PRTG Network Monitor system crashes and a lot of sensors go down."
