We performed a comparison between PRTG Network Monitor and Splunk Enterprise Security based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."
"The single dashboard is a valuable feature."
"It allows us to directly add individual VMs independently."
"It is a user-friendly solution."
"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."
"It is a very stable solution. There are no bugs, glitches and we have not experienced any crashing."
"PRTG is relatively intuitive and fairly straightforward. It has net flow monitoring and that works all right. I would describe it as a decent middle-of-the-road solution."
"I like the mobility of the PRTG Network Monitor and ITOps Dashboard."
"It gives me a live view of the traffic on the WAN."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to span multiple technologies and multiple vendors."
"If I need to integrate devices for logs, it is easier with Splunk. We can integrate different applications, network devices, and databases. It is also very rich in documents. It is the best."
"Correlating data across different systems via one interface will allow you to know your environment or identify incident data in ways you never imagined."
"It helps us uncover bottlenecks in the network."
"Out-of-the-box, it seems very powerful."
"You can integrate Splunk with third-party security automation solutions and set rules for automatic response."
"We have found all the features useful. However, the dashboarding and logging have been very helpful. Additionally, the log analysis does a great job."
"We can do things in minutes instead of days."
"Splunk is stable, and this is why many customers want it."
"The technical support needs improvement."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"In terms of sensors and probes, it would be really cool if PRTG had a purely Azure-based solution. We had to install a probe on one of our cloud servers and then let that probe out from there. It would be really cool if it just monitored Azure without having to install something on the device."
"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."
"It would be good if there were better graphical interfaces when you have it on multiple monitors... Because we have so many servers, things can get lost in the fog a little bit. Maybe having a better way of showing different geographies, Flash, etc., would help."
"Other monitoring tools that I have used are easier to use."
"The dashboarding definitely needs improvement."
"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."
"The automation should be improved."
"There is room for improvement in this solution for the performance and third-party monitoring protocols. They need to be updated to the latest ones."
"Enterprise security: Splunk must work on clarifying the solution to customers and explain how to gain more from it."
"Its user interface for everything other than the charts can be improved. Some parts of it can be simplified a bit, such as when importing documents that have the network traffic. When you're going through the information about the network traffic, you have to have the expertise, but even if a program is supposed to be for IT support, it is good to make it user-friendly because it gets easier to train people. When something goes wrong, the more difficult a program is in terms of UI, the harder it is to fix the issue."
"While Splunkbase (the app repository) has a lot of great content, some apps are terribly old and could stand to be updated or purged."
"Splunk Enterprise Security has not helped reduce our alert volume."
"Given the ever-increasing number of threats, I would like Splunk to update its threat signatures more frequently."
"An improved user interface along with multi-tenancy support would be beneficial."
"I'd like to see more integration with more antivirus systems."
"I would like to see more SIEM functionality and a better ticket tool."
