Find out what your peers are saying about Zabbix, Datadog, Auvik and others in IT Infrastructure Monitoring."The product's initial setup is easy."
"Speed of deployment is one of the most valuable features."
"The feature I like is that it can easily do a lot of mapping."
"I like the mobility of the PRTG Network Monitor and ITOps Dashboard."
"The feature whereby it shows when my hard drives are moving towards thresholds that would be considered outages, before they reach that point - that is valuable."
"We like the alerting system, the SNMP monitoring and the customization of the bandwidth."
"The installation is not that complex."
"One of the valuable features is the diversity of metrics available to us to monitor. It's all there, it's all in the box. It's all made very easy, by virtue of it being pre-configured."
"I found PRTG Network Monitor very useful for troubleshooting and monitoring the utilization of either the network or server."
"Instana Infrastructure Monitoring needs to support monitoring of the .NET framework since it is one of the areas where the solution currently has shortcomings."
"The dashboarding definitely needs improvement."
"I've encountered a challenge in my functions, particularly in adding and printing."
"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."
"The technical support could respond a little bit quicker."
"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."
"PRTG's application monitoring sensor is not strong."
"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."
"The icons on PRTG's network diagram are hard to find. For example, finding the icons for firewalls and servers is difficult, so we're struggling to create the network topology."
