We performed a comparison between Nutanix Prism and PRTG Network Monitor based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Virtualization Management Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Prism is easy to scale."
"Resource monitoring is the most valuable feature."
"The recent life cycle management feature is really helpful to us. Before that, we had to do everything manually, but now it's like a one-stop shop. We can upgrade firmware and all of the software from there. Also, managing storage information and other hardware-related resources is easy using Prism."
"One valuable aspect of Nutanix Prism is how easy it is to set up. The setup process is useful to us because all we need to do is to set some variables and go with the recommended settings."
"We can also manage our disaster recovery plan from a single console."
"Prism provides us with insights and the ability to access all the sub-components of Nutanix's hyperconverged platform."
"Before implementing Prism, we had an issue with too many alerts for similar issues, so it was difficult to maintain them. The alerts kept coming, and we had a hard time keeping track of everything. We had multiple alerts about CPU, RAM, and storage. Prism helps us identify and eliminate false alerts because most of them were redundant."
"There are so many valuable features but Nutanix Flow for microsegmentation of the network, and the Life Cycle Manager for dating hardware and software are among the most important for us."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to span multiple technologies and multiple vendors."
"The solution is easy to manage and the reports are very accurate."
"It is great for service level agreements and can comply fully with internet monitoring or any interface."
"The solution provides us with needed feedback on our IT infrastructure. It gives us really good quality of service when it comes to monitoring of available space and available resources. It allows us to preempt issues before they become a problem for the business."
"I like the mobility of the PRTG Network Monitor and ITOps Dashboard."
"PRTG Network Monitor is a very stable product."
"PRTG Network Monitor's best features are its flexibility, ease of implementation, user-friendliness, and intuitive interfaces."
"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."
"The life cycle management or LCM feature is the most complicated. It takes really long and is unpredictable for our use cases. They should provide more detailed information about the kind of LCM to go for, various errors, and different kinds of tasks. For analytics for certain configurations, we require more details with the report. Sometimes, not all elements are present for support, management, and configuration. For troubleshooting, it would be very easy and useful if we can analyze log files directly from Prism, that is, not from the command line but directly from Prism."
"No integration of commands to manage AHV."
"Does not yet have micro application using a company's provider."
"Perhaps the interface can be more intuitive."
"The solution should offer the ability to change network settings without removing the network card from the virtual machine."
"There are no firewall policies."
"The licensing cost has room for improvement."
"One problem I faced when creating a VM and adding a hard disk to is that Nutanix Prism did not allow me to reduce that VM's hard disk."
"This solution is a good product so far, but I haven't been using it long enough to know how it could be improved."
"Other monitoring tools that I have used are easier to use."
"The technical support service should be improved."
"The technical support could respond a little bit quicker."
"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."
"Their penetration within the market could be much better. If their pricing was lower, even though it's reasonable now, it might help them achieve this."
"Improvements in data storage flexibility, such as allowing customers to specify data retention periods, would enhance PRTG."
"There seems to be a big jump from the basic scan to the really thorough scan. There is a big jump in the quantity of sensors it uses for certain things. One minute you might get ten and then the next you get 200. There seems to be a big jump between the two at times."
