More Juniper Mist Premium Analytics Pros →

"My experience with technical support has been perfect."

More InfoVista VistaInsight Pros →

"We like the alerting system, the SNMP monitoring and the customization of the bandwidth.""The most valuable features of PRTG Network Monitor are user-friendly, and the graphical interface is good for all the network devices that are mapped in this organization. It's very easy to find reports for any devices that we are looking for.""The most valuable feature is the dashboard interface. It's very clean, it's very simple to use.""The fact that I can use custom MIB files to customize my sensors for the things that are not there as a default is a good feature.""We use the remote probes a lot for our branch offices. Instead of deploying the full instance of PRTG, we'll put a remote probe out there. This simplifies the whole deployment for us.""The solution provides us response times to issues.""I can create my own program sensor. This means I can add extra monitoring capabilities into the already fundamentally strong foundation.""Technical support is helpful."

Cons
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."

More Juniper Mist Premium Analytics Cons →

"The presentation of the features can be improved. It can be more user-friendly for the visual part of the portal and to allow the customer to be able to use."

More InfoVista VistaInsight Cons →

"I would like to see network mapping.""The remote probes seem to be a little bit buggy at times. They just stop working or they say they can't communicate. What we tend to do to is install the remote app onto the servers that we use. That seems to clear it up.""I would like to have a VM version that can be installed on a cloud such as Azure. We're using Azure, and we're eliminating on-premise servers. It would be helpful to have a PRTG version that can be installed on the Azure cloud.""Technical support is an area with concerns in PRTG Network Monitor, where improvements are required.""This solution is a good product so far, but I haven't been using it long enough to know how it could be improved.""PRTG Network Monitor could improve by having descriptions for the tab usages. The dashboards or interface could be easier to understand.""I know we're going to move to Docker applications and I understand that PRTG does some monitoring regarding this. I do not know if it is complete. If it's not yet complete, it's something they should consider improving.""They just released a newer version of the desktop app, a beta version, that I have been trialing out. I prefer the older version, only because of how the layout is designed"
