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 Slack integration is fantastic, and I've actually found it to be very useful recently."
"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."
"This solution provides us with the needed feedback on our IT infrastructure. It allows us to grab all the information from a single point of view."
"The initial setup is pretty easy."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is being able to see things graphically."
"It is nice to have one place where all the information is right there in front of us."
"It is able to satisfy all our requirements in terms of email notifications and specific errors on the devices."
"I can create my own program sensor. This means I can add extra monitoring capabilities into the already fundamentally strong foundation."
"The product can scale."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"There's always room for improvement. The high availability feature is good, but it's an area that PRTG could marginally improve. For example, in PRTG, both servers have a different IP, but it would make things a lot easier if they were bound by a single IP."
"PRTG Network Monitor can improve by having better integration with devices."
"They just released a newer version of the desktop app, a beta version, that I have been trialing out.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"
"Needs ability to monitor standard notification time (notify after X time)."
"I would like the ability to monitor Cisco IRS devices."
"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,"
"PRTG Network Monitor needs to show bandwidth utilization in proper graphs. It isn't easy to learn."
"I am not sure the solution is giving me all the needed feedback that we need. When something goes off on our IT infrastructure, it does tell me. However, it would be nice if it gave more intuitive information, e.g., the hard drive has gone up by 60 percent in an hour."
"I can't recall coming across any missing features."
