1. Sensors are not enough to link PaloAlto, Cisco and HP hardware

Avantages

It is a really good agentless tool to present monitor graphics of our network devices.

Inconvénients

All seems good so far for us we have used it for around 3 years now.

Avantages

The monitoring system, dashboard, logs, patch management etc. I think I like all the features of PRTG.

Inconvénients

I would say they should improve their Remote management system more. We cannot push the softwares directly from there.

Avantages

PRTG has allowed us to accurately monitor our network and systems as well as been the forefront of our notification system for 10+ years. There tool has been easily implemented in multiple environments and for multiple workloads for us. It has a good ability set, and has received modern updates as new technology has emerged.

Inconvénients

The interface, while easy to evaluate on a limited environment, can become cluttered or larger than feasible for a quick dashboard-type view on larger environments. It provides good logs and graphs for deep dives, but can be seen as dated in it’s presentation compared to other options on the market.

Pourquoi passer à PRTG

Avantages

The initial setup of PRTG is very easy, and the 100 free sensors allows you to monitor a reasonable part of your network for free to determine that it will do the desired job - or if you only have a small network, this may be fine to monitor your entire network.

Inconvénients

Some advanced features like the ability to set up auto-remediation of issues would be nice, as would the ability to use PRTG behind Cloudflare.

Network scanning is not accurate and it cannot scan multiple networks even if it has access to it. Maybe I am wrong but that is what I experienced.

Avantages

Simple and easy to use interface makes network monitoring easy.

Inconvénients

Some of the censors can be quite difficult to configure.

Avantages

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

I do not have anything that I do not like about PRTG

Avantages

When we talk about PRTG we immediately think of a very consistent, stable and oriented tool for the analysis and monitoring of all our network resources, being part of NOC Colombia through PRTG I can have a global view of the status of the fiber optic network and the transport layer equipment involved in it, provides detailed metrics that help us to diagnose the different failures reported by our users and incidentally to generate the trubleshooting of the different failures reported on the access network. Referring to the tool I can say that it has a very complete interface with its different functions strategically located and able to allow adaptation to our needs.

Inconvénients

Based on the criteria of the number of network components (servers, switches, routers, virtual machines) it is necessary to evaluate the type of license which depends on the number of sensors that are required to have absolute vision of all these teams, therefore, the associated costs will rise, although seeing the cost/benefit ratio is justifiable that investment.

Avantages
