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."PRTG has improved our visibility and response time to issues related to remote sites."
"The feature whereby it shows when my hard drives are moving towards thresholds that would be considered outages, before they reach that point - that is valuable."
"The most valuable feature of PRTG Network Monitor is the different monitoring probes available."
"Technical support has been very helpful so far."
"We like the alerting system, the SNMP monitoring and the customization of the bandwidth."
"It gives me a live view of the traffic on the WAN."
"We can see which fiber links have been used heavily and, if they are used heavily, we can introduce more links to particular buildings or particular areas."
"I really love the activity library. It gives the flexibility to discover data and metrics about my interface and data server."
"The alerts are the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature in this solution is the log searching."
"It is very easy to monitor multiple cloud environments. It's like a single pane of glass for us. We can use it to monitor our on-prem and both of our cloud environments as opposed to having different tools for each environment. It makes it all come together in one tool."
"The most valuable feature is log reporting."
"The Add data feature lets you gather any type of log and easily analyze it."
"The vibrant dashboards are valuable."
"It's a very easy-to-use solution."
"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."
"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."
"In a very few cases, customers want more detailed reports, which we cannot meet."
"They could improve the process of updating the license."
"PRTG Network Monitor needs to show bandwidth utilization in proper graphs. It isn't easy to learn."
"PRTG's application monitoring sensor is not strong."
"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."
"Having a Unix implementation or Unix installation could be an improvement. Right now, it's based just on Windows, and that's a problem for some customers."
"We would like more cloud native sensors for AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, etc. A lot of businesses are moving in that direction, so having something where we can pull performance stats out of these cloud services would be great for us."
"I would like to see an improvement and some innovation in the customer interface."
"Splunk would be better if some tools were integrated to be able to take action on security or network concerns."
"The deployment can be quite complex."
"They do not have all the features that I expect right now."
"The end-to-end visibility is lacking because Splunk cannot directly monitor network devices."
"We still use Splunk Enterprise licensing. A lot of the newer features go into Splunk Cloud before Enterprise. We're not looking to switch our licensing over, so we're falling behind on the newer features."
"This solution is difficult to configure and the instructions are complex."
"It would be useful if they provided some help pages. If you don't know too much about the tool, there should be more documentation readily available. It would be useful if they had a help button embedded in the solution so you could ask questions and get answers."
