"Good compilation of the system's information."
"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 features of PRTG Network Monitor are the threshold notification when certain traffic increases and goes beyond the defined threshold. The up and down status email notifications and other notifications are useful. Additionally, it is user-friendly, and customizable, and there are many features available."
"The email notifications are helpful, and the dashboards are user-friendly for people with little network monitoring knowledge."
"The solution is very easy to use and the web provides information with ease."
"The up-to-date graphs and the history are very good."
"It gives me a live view of the traffic on the WAN."
"Stable and scalable network monitoring tool. Installation is simple and straightforward."
"An area for improvement in Cisco Intersight is automation. It needs more automation capabilities. Apart from enhanced automation, I want Cisco Intersight to integrate with third-party monitoring tools in its next release."
"It's a very complex solution."
"In the future, the solution needs to plan on an extension to cover a broader range of objects since, at present, there are some Cisco devices within the range of Intersight UCS that it can't manage."
"When new features are added, the service becomes full of bugs."
"The product's setup should be easier."
"The usability must be better."
"The unique problem with Cisco Intersight is that it's not supporting some players."
"The product could be easy to use."
"Other monitoring tools that I have used are easier to use."
"In the next release, PRTG Network Monitor should add a backup solution."
"PRTG Network Monitor can improve Layer 2 and Layer 3 network maps and the GUI more user-friendly. Additionally, they should bundle the features so I can monitor everything on one particular device."
"The scalability of this solution could improve as well as the automated provisioning of the infrastructure."
"Needs ability to monitor standard notification time (notify after X time)."
"I would like to see Office 365 monitoring. Essentially, it doesn't do it. I assumed not at all, but apparently it does it slightly. However, due to issues with APIs, they currently don't provide full monitoring for O365."
"We run it in a cluster, so we have two that run together. The cluster behind it is sketchy at times."
"Improvements in data storage flexibility, such as allowing customers to specify data retention periods, would enhance PRTG."
