PRTG

PRTG Is a Great Tool for many Organizations

Komentarze: PRTG brings a lot of value to our organization and it works well to notify our Department immediately when something is down. We have a critical need for this. Some of the user interface and customization for alerts could be better though.

Zalety:

PRTG works on Mac or PC! I can set it up to alert me only on certain items in my org tree by priority, and it works 100% and I don't ever miss notifications.

Wady:

Some alert settings could be more customizable or paused for a certain time period easier. The user interface could be setup a little cleaner and up to date.

PRTG helps to keep an eye on a real-time network in use for an event

Komentarze: Tracking local network devices at an event, and with notifications when something is offline have greatly helped to reduce the stress of keeping an eye on device uptime. a local overview of the network has been a great tool

Zalety:

there's a lot to it, as such, it covers alot of ground. I'm sure there are templates and possibly scripting that I haven't explored or discovered, but what I have used for monitoring remote events has worked really well.

Wady:

there's a bit of learning curve, and as time permits, I hope to eventually get to dig into it. An intro at maybe a simpler level would be nice, with maybe an incentive track to learn more in-depth usage

PRTG makes monitoring my network a breeze, keeping me informed and able to fix issues quickly.

Zalety:

The customizable dashboards and alerts make staying on top of my network's health a cinch.

Wady:

The learning curve was a bit steep at first, and I wish there were more pre-built sensor options.

PRTG is a great option to monitor your IT assets

Komentarze: The experience has been good in general. Once you get everything done in terms of configurations and custom settings, you basically need to keep watching the dashboard and your email for the notifications.

Zalety:

I like the interface, which is very versatile and allows you to customize the views that are more important to you. I also like to receive notifications when something happens so we can quickly react and fix.

Wady:

Some of the sensors require very complex configurations and that sometimes prevents us to get the most from PRTG. The system is so complete that it also has too much settings for each sensor which sometimes makes the work of configuring them very exausting.

BEST NETWORK MONITOR

Komentarze: Very great Experince especially for Network Monitoring and Tracking of the Different Network Devices and Sensors.

Zalety:

1. Easy Access and Management of a large number of Both LANs and WANs on just a single window. 2. On-premises installation for full control over the company's data, configuration & updates. 3. Free Version of the Software with most of the core network management tools with its limitation being that it offers only 10 Sensors.

Wady:

Sensor Limitations: The Free Version of the Software is limited to only 10 sensors

Proactive Network Management Made Easy

Komentarze: The overview that PRTG provides about network health and performance is incredibly important in detecting and resolving a possible security threat at its quickest. This proactive approach reduces our downtime a great deal and increases our overall security posture.

Zalety:

PRTG really excels at providing detailed network visibility. Customizable dashboards and real-time alerting enable strong security. The way this integrates with other existing systems, with deep reporting, makes my proactive management of risk much easier.

Wady:

While PRTG is feature-rich, the initial setup may be a little time-consuming. It would be nice if there were more streamlined configuration options for quicker deployment.

The best SNMP monitoring software for complex networks

Komentarze: PRTG is a popular network monitoring tool known for its ease of use and comprehensive monitoring capabilities. I appreciate its intuitive interface, ability to monitor a wide range of devices, and customizable alerting system. This centralized view of network health allows for swift issue identification and resolution.

Zalety:

PRTG is known for its user-friendly interface and simple setup process, even for those without extensive IT experience.

Wady:

The functionality I like least in PRTG is the map creation feature.

PRTG Network Monitor helps us to maintain internal performance criteria.

Zalety:

Ability to create and present an online dashboard on the status of IT resources for users of our services.

Wady:

Time-consuming setup of a large number of sensors and their dependencies to accurately provide status information on larger or more complex devices.

Reliable partner for IT Monitoring

Komentarze: Good reliable and stable partner for IT monitoring. We have been using it for years now.

Zalety:

Wide range of available sensors. Easy setup.

Wady:

No probes for linux systems - although it is still possible to monitor linux devices.

Best Monitoring Tool for the money

Zalety:

The ease of setup and configuration and also how to get alerts in case of an issues.

Wady:

More option can be added but overall, we are happy for what we were looking for.

Highly Customizable and Very Capable Systems Monitor.

Komentarze: Saved our bacon numerous times. Was able to monitor just about everything I could throw at it. Very satisfied with the performance and options of the product.

Zalety:

The plethora of ways and systems to monitor. Built in support for Windows Active Directory, DNS, SQL Server and more. So many aspects to monitor - SSL Certificates, Running Services, individual SQL tables.With SNMP, you can add anything that supports that protocol. I Added Printer toner levels.Integrates out of the box with Active Directory, for single sign on purposes. Fine grained security options. An API to easily add new systems.The free version is full featured, limiting only the amount of sensors (100) you can run.Built in Integration with other well known systems like Meraki, and Sophos.

Wady:

It's a great product that does what it does every well. Nothing really comes to mind. Perhaps too much customization.

A great product if you just need a simple and free monitor or Enteprise Leve one

Komentarze: I currently use the free product where I work now, but in the past have used the enterprise product for a larger oragnization.

Zalety:

There are a lot of different things you can monitor, prebuilt templates and even custom things that you can build. Having a free product helps a lot to see if it's what you need in your environment.

Wady:

I wish AD logon integration was included in the free version instead of 1 shared account.

PRTG Network Monitor review

Komentarze: PRTG Network Monitor has significantly improved the way I manage and monitor our network infrastructure. Its user-friendly interface, along with a range of features and sensor options, has made it an invaluable tool for our network monitoring needs.

Over the past year, my experience with PRTG Network Monitor has been transformative for our network infrastructure management. PRTG, with its intuitive interface and comprehensive features, has proven to be a reliable and efficient solution. The user interface is visually appealing and incredibly user-friendly. Setting up sensors is a simple process. The drag-and-drop functionality adds to the ease of customization, allowing me to tailor the monitoring system to our specific needs.

Zalety:

Alerts, Notifications, all the sensors that come out of the box. Easy to use. Easy to set up.

Wady:

Could improve with support. It's hard to communicate via email only.

Monitoring

Zalety:

Great monitoring functionality. Lots of options to monitor pretty much everything.

Lack of mfa for builtin accounts. Need to use 3rd party tools to use mfa.

Monitor everything

Zalety:

It has capability to monitor multiple sensors, also.like its graphical representations.

Wady:

Remote location devices reacheability is the least

Monitoring lord

Zalety:

Easier Ui, features and unlimited customization for any network Engineer. Monitoring our network has never been easier and exciting.

Wady:

It makes me have a hard time without using prtg.

Almost 2 Year with my favourite Monitoring Tool

Komentarze: I've been training some new persons in our company to use PRTG, and they are using it like pros.It is a great tool to use, today we have more than 35 thousand sensors monitoring devices.

Zalety:

PRTG is an easy-to-use monitoring tool, it is easy to get going, To set up a monitoring environment is easy, just deploy a core server or a remote probe connected to the core server.The auto discovery is a great tool to get the monitoring of devices fast.

Wady:

Sometimes the auto discovery tool affect the application performance.The Map Designer should be better with more options to personalize the maps.A Grafana extension should be implemented.

PRTG - I rely on this more than Windows or Linux themselves

Komentarze: I do love this software and my job would be 10x more difficult without it. The 24/7 monitoring, the vast array of sensors available, the maps that can be made available without need for a login, and along with the historical data that is available make this a must use piece of software. It's worth the time even if all you can use is the free 100 sensor version.

Zalety:

I can monitor just about everything I need to monitor. Most are via the built in sensors but the options for custom sensors takes it to the next level.

Wady:

The price is hard to get past. Smaller shops would have a hard time validating the cost. The interface is can be overwhelming (not sure how to avoid that) and it's frustrating that it's not possible to multi-select objects on a map and move them all at the same time. Instead you have to move them one at a time which can become very tedious.

Affordable simple server monitoring

Komentarze: Given the price, PRTG offers a good bang for buck. For this price we cannot expect the features of some of the higher end monitoring solutions.

Zalety:

The basic features work as they should. I have never had any SNMP issues with getting results from my devices. Also I have never had any false positives for these sensors. The architecture makes it easy to deploy. No agent, just a probe which sends data to a core server.

Wady:

If you want to go out-of-the box there is a big chance of false positives. Deploying custom sensors is very labor-intensive work.
