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."We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"It gives good insight into inside of what's going on with Exchange."
"The auto-configuration or auto-Thresholding is very important because it saves a phenomenal amount of labor and setup costs and time."
"EG monitors all infrastructure elements (all OS, all database, storage, network, and web server) from a single console."
"The topology view which provides a visual representation of a service and quickly allows identification of errors or degraded performance."
"eG Enterprise has a single pane of glass for observability and monitoring."
"Some of the best features of eG are, in terms of APM, they have complete modules between application performance monitoring, server monitoring, and even storage and network-based monitoring. The UI is also quite good. They have some standard AI-based capabilities, even though it's not quite as advanced when compared to Dynatrace. eG has some good, basic APM capabilities."
"The most important feature is the ability to design, then implement monitoring tests on the fly as we are adapting to different situations."
"The product is simple to use."
"Stable solution for monitoring networks and bandwidth, with multiple functions and features such as NetFlow Collector, graphical monitoring, etc."
"The most valuable feature of PRTG Network Monitor is real-time monitoring."
"I think net flow is PRTG's most valuable feature because it doesn't cost much for us because the net flow sensor is already included in the PRTG license. We can monitor our traffic in our proxy and router."
"The product is easy to use and the web interface is fantastic."
"The initial setup was easy. We didn't have any issues with the process and everything rolled out smoothly."
"I really love the activity library. It gives the flexibility to discover data and metrics about my interface and data server."
"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."
"PRTG Network Monitor's best features are its flexibility, ease of implementation, user-friendliness, and intuitive interfaces."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The solution needs to enhance the management dashboards."
"I can understand why they designed the user interface (UI) the way they did, but sometimes in the management of the eG Manager, it can be a bit clunky."
"The interface could be improved as it is not real intuitive. It is not user-friendly."
"would like to see improvements in the alarm display console."
"eG Enterprise's licensing could be cheaper. Even compared to Dynatrace, I think the price is quite expensive considering the APM functionalities, even though they have other benefits such as info monitoring."
"The integration must be improved."
"In terms of sales or market perspective, they must invest in Latin America with professionals with a more marked presence."
"Back-end configuration is not easy to implement."
"I wouldn't mind better categories for the sensors. When I go to add a new sensor for a new device, there are some categories in there already, and they can be filtered out, but there's quite a large pool of sensors... When I want to go in and find something quite specific, I have got to scroll down and scroll down to find what I'm actually looking for,"
"I would like to see a more robust platform and a new dashboard. In addition, the code is good, but it needs improvement."
"PRTG access works best from the web GUI. There are dedicated apps on Windows/Android/iOS, but they are slow and don’t work as well as the web GUI."
"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."
"They should work on syncing the solution with Gmail."
"The scalability of this solution could improve as well as the automated provisioning of the infrastructure."
"The Desktop app is good but it can be really sluggish at times, especially when you're editing different elements."
"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."
