We performed a comparison between PRTG Network Monitor and Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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 like the alerting system, the SNMP monitoring and the customization of the bandwidth."
"It is a user-friendly solution."
"The initial setup is very simple."
"I found PRTG Network Monitor very useful for troubleshooting and monitoring the utilization of either the network or server."
"The product is simple and easy to implement."
"The best feature is that it lets me know what is going on. I need to know if something has gone down, I need to know if something is running very slowly. PRTG tells me that."
"PRTG is simple to manage. First, you can create a template for a device, then apply it to hundreds of similar devices. That's a great advantage."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to span multiple technologies and multiple vendors."
"The solution's most valuable aspect is its ability to get information about all of the security measurements in my environment."
"I find the monitoring console very helpful. With one click, I can see how we are performing, and at the same time, I can see what data is flowing."
"The most valuable feature is log reporting."
"The ability to create custom dashboards is one of the best features and that's typically why most people deploy Splunk. Users can create dashboards for just about anything."
"It is very easy to monitor multiple cloud environments. It's like a single pane of glass for us. We can use it to monitor our on-prem and both of our cloud environments as opposed to having different tools for each environment. It makes it all come together in one tool."
"The Add data feature lets you gather any type of log and easily analyze it."
"The solution's basic visibility is one of its most valuable features. So, it is a solution that is easy to use...The solution's initial setup process was straightforward."
"The product retains a lot of log data for subsequent analysis."
"The desktop app is the one area where it do with some improvement. From a user's perspective, I would like to be able to get more out of the desktop app as opposed to where we are now with it."
"We've had some issues previously with the performance of the sensors. We tend to deploy quite a bit of WMI, which is quite processor-intensive, and we've found that that impacts the sensors quite a bit."
"Can be slow in the way it polls the different engines."
"I would like to see them take their graphing tools and convert them into a collector so that we can point telemetry to them"
"Needs ability to monitor standard notification time (notify after X time)."
"PRTG Network Monitor can improve Layer 2 and Layer 3 network maps and the GUI more user-friendly. Additionally, they should bundle the features so I can monitor everything on one particular device."
"I would like to see network mapping."
"Having a Unix implementation or Unix installation could be an improvement. Right now, it's based just on Windows, and that's a problem for some customers."
"The deployment can be quite complex."
"We have both on-prem and cloud, and the challenge is getting all our log data aggregated or streams aggregated so that it is real-time. We do a pretty good job of that, but our organization is not using it as a security platform when it can do a great job of that."
"It would be useful if they provided some help pages. If you don't know too much about the tool, there should be more documentation readily available. It would be useful if they had a help button embedded in the solution so you could ask questions and get answers."
"The implementation can be more user-friendly."
"I would like to see an improvement and some innovation in the customer interface."
"Splunk would be better if some tools were integrated to be able to take action on security or network concerns."
"Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring's data analytics can be improved by including suggestions for various types of continuous monitoring."
"The solution's stability is an area that has room for improvement. It needs to provide constant stability to its users."
