We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It is able to satisfy all our requirements in terms of email notifications and specific errors on the devices.""The solution provides us response times to issues.""I like the mobility of the PRTG Network Monitor and ITOps Dashboard.""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.""Good compilation of the system's information.""It is user-friendly. It is easy to set up health checks within PRTG and use scans. It is like a self-service tool, and anyone can configure their own settings within PRTG.""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 initial setup was easy. We didn't have any issues with the process and everything rolled out smoothly."

"The solution is stable.""Veeam ONE effectively centralizes the view of different tools.""I think Veeam ONE is great as it is, it does everything I need.""The solution is really easy and straightforward to use.""The most valuable features of Veeam ONE are the backup reports, such as the status of the storage.""It has been useful for monitoring, troubleshooting, and assessing our environment, as well as for investigating bottlenecks.""As a manager, I find Veeam One's reporting service to be very helpful.""The product's initial setup phase was straightforward for me."

Cons
"The clustering aspect needs improvement, as there is a bit of confusion about you do when hit that 5000 probe mark.""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.""PRTG Network Monitor can improve the reports. In the reports, you have to give an alert for that SMS and email, the emergency calls and downtimes have to be reported accordingly. You have to enable email services or an SMS gateway service to receive more alerts at the proper time.""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.""I've encountered a challenge in my functions, particularly in adding and printing.""A room for improvement in PRTG Network Monitor is its sensors. Its application technology sensor, such as the IAS, .NET, etc., needs some improvement because it doesn't work as expected. For example, the IAS sensor doesn't give immediate information, and the information you get from it isn't of good value. The web GUI of PRTG Network Monitor also needs improvement because errors keep popping up if it's not been updated to the latest version. What I'd like to see in the next release of the tool is end-to-end topology mapping for the business model, and that should be required. There has to be a technical map. Technical mapping and topological creation are missing in PRTG Network Monitor, so I would like to see those in the future.""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.""PRTG does not allow us to scan devices like we can scan software or another problem in it. Also, I cannot draw graphical graphs in Woodview/look. Another problem is that we cannot draw a good diagram in PRTG."

"I would like the solution to have better integration with other hypervisors and cloud features that are not exclusive to VMware.""Sometimes, it's a little difficult for me to use its user interface. Its scope is very big with a lot of tuning, settings, and so on. If it's difficult for me, it must also be difficult for our customers.""For our company's usage, the price of the product is considered to be one of the major drawbacks because we have a lot of infrastructure, and its services don't fit well with our needs.""The threshold could be easier to configure.""We'd like to see them add more custom templates.""I think Veeam ONE should be included in the base product instead of as an add-on because customers tend to look for simple solutions that are integrated.""They need to support more platforms.""The solution could improve by allowing the ability to do monitoring and traffic aggregation in the whole virtual network environment."

  • "If you're looking for a cost effective software I’d suggest this product."
  • "Sensors on free version can run out quick."

  • "The pricing is not too bad. It's not massively expensive, and the ability to upscale or even downscale licenses every year is brilliant for us."

  • More PRTG Network Monitor Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "For what it does, the price is acceptable."
  • "If you have Veeam Backup and Replication with the essential license then this solution is free. If you were to purchase Veeam ONE by itself it is priced cheaper than competitors."
  • "The licenses are code-based or server-based for Veeam ONE. The last version is 12, and it is host-based, I don't like to move to a code-based solution."
  • "Veeam has been raising its prices in the last two years, so it's now lacking some competitiveness in pricing."
  • "I have not used the resale license in our testing environments. Sometimes, our customers used the trial license for 30 days and so on."
  • "I don't pay for the solution, so I can't comment on the cost."
  • "The cost is based on the number of core servers."
  • "Our licensing cost is $200 a year."

    I have researched a quite a few network monitoring tools which can be used for various monitoring purposes of not only the servers, but the intermediate routers as well. There are majorly three types of these softwares. Ones which are completely open-source, you can do almost anything you want using these, but they require quite some expertise before you can use them. Then there are the ones that are not open source, the enterprise softwares and cost you some money, but on the other hand, they are extremely easy to set-up and learn. You can have them up and running in a matter of minutes. And then there are those which are completely cloud based. They can be free of cost or charge some money depending on the software. The good thing about these is that you don’t have to install any extra software, and it can be managed completely online but then again these have limited features and you cannot exploit them to the full extent as you can do with the open-source and to some extent the enterprise software, so I won’t suggest you to use these, because these are generally not the complete solutions and require other support software to achieve the same.
