We performed a comparison between Azure Monitor and PRTG Network Monitor based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud Monitoring Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It's a service from Microsoft, so it will scale."
"Technical support is helpful."
"The tools for logs and metrics are pretty good and easy to use."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"You can scale the product."
"Azure Monitor is very stable."
"It is a robust, stable product."
"The most valuable feature is the universality of their functionalities in all Azure services, including, software solutions."
"It improves the status of my infrastructure, from networking devices to real-time machines."
"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."
"I found PRTG Network Monitor very useful for troubleshooting and monitoring the utilization of either the network or server."
"The up-to-date graphs and the history are very good."
"It is a user-friendly solution."
"The most valuable feature is the notifications. As long as you spend time and think about what and when you want to be notified, it's always accurate. It is always there. I find things out before my Internet provider."
"The real-time monitoring and alerting are its most valuable features."
"The sensors and probes are great, nice and lightweight, they don't take up too many resources on the system. We just deploy them out and they start reporting instantly."
"Azure Monitor could improve network performance monitoring and make it more advanced."
"This solution has fewer features than some of its competitors, so adding more features to it would make it better."
"The length of latency is terrible and needs to be improved."
"I would like more transparency when we use the solution with another environment, like on-premises, or on another cloud environment, like AWS or GCP."
"The process of implementation needs to be easier."
"The default interface should be improved."
"I'd like the solution to do more around vulnerability assessment. It's lacking in the product right now."
"In my opinion, they should improve the overall user experience, especially when it comes to indexing and searching collective logs."
"The dashboarding definitely needs improvement."
"PRTG Network Monitor can improve by having better integration with devices."
"Once you start going above 5000 sensors, things do start to get a bit shaky. There are some best practice out there that you will need to adopt and be aware of."
"PRTG Network Monitor can improve by adding prevention and detection features."
"The thing that we do struggle with a bit is in the historic data. If I want look over 30 days, because it averages out onto one graph, you can't zoom in and drill down information."
"They could improve the process of updating the license."
"PRTG Network Monitor could improve by having descriptions for the tab usages. The dashboards or interface could be easier to understand."
"While the desktop app is good, they could slightly improve it. We would like it to be a single pane of glass. At the moment, you can only see certain portions of information. You have to scroll through to make it more granular. We want them to develop the desktop app to be more user-friendly."

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.
