PRTG Enterprise Monitor

PRTG Enterprise Monitor, A Network Engineers' Dream Tool

Commenti: Overall Paessler Enterprise Monitor is great IT infrastructure Monitoring tool with great features and core functionalities that IT operations would need to well monitor and make decisions about their infrastructure.

Aspetti positivi:

1. Reporting features that fully give an Insight of all IT infrastructure from small to large scale, offering IT Engineers and Operators all the information they need in one single place. 2. The ability to monitor IT applications, services, Capacity and Configuration management.

Aspetti negativi:

The sensor layout and management isn't well automated for easier understanding and could be confusing if handed over without proper documentation

Nothing stands alone but PRTG is stable

Commenti: Best of the available options when surveying the field.

Aspetti positivi:

A great map, lots of sensors, good educational online training, customizable.

Aspetti negativi:

Not the most intuitive, consumes quite a lot of compute resources.

PRTG Enterprise Monitor Has Incredible Capabilities: It Is So Accurate

Commenti: Since we implemented PRTG Enterprise Monitor, the experiences have been amazing. PRTG Enterprise Monitor works so well for us.

Aspetti positivi:

PRTG Enterprise Monitor is a powerful networking solution that suit our needs. I am impressed by the capabilities and ease of use of PRTG Enterprise Monitor.

Aspetti negativi:

PRTG Enterprise Monitor is easy to use, reliable and flawless.

Involved needing to get more hands on

Aspetti positivi:

the alerting is on point as it barks about everything if your not carefull

Aspetti negativi:

the landscape for displaying visual maps needs a lot of work.

Not my favourite monitoring tool but worth a look

Commenti: PRTG does what it says on the tin, and in fairness it does it very well. It's reliable and it's flexible, I find their free SNMP monitoring tool extremely helpful when troubleshooting issues with monitoring older routers/firewalls/printers etc. We didn't have the cloud version but another chap I know who does in IT said the mobile app and push notifications were a life saver. The ability to monitor SLA's as well is also handy for working towards KPI's and keeps the management team happy, coupled with the extremely customisable reports.

Aspetti positivi:

The best thing by far about PRTG Enterprise was the ability to have multiple PRTG server instances in different locations, but all visible within one 'master' view. This was particularly helpful when you have sites across seas like I did when I used it, in Latvia and Slovenia. They had their own PRTG server that the remote IT hands could monitor and keep on top of, but as Infrastructure Manager it allowed me to also keep an eye on things and help out where needed.

Aspetti negativi:

It's hard to describe, but I just didn't like the UI of PRTG in general, the interface didn't feel as nice and user-friendly as other tools and just seemed to be less intuitive and aesthetically pleasing. But that's not to say that it lacks any features and it may well have just been me that couldn't figure out how to make it look 'nice'.

PRTG is the one tool I HAVE to have in my toolbox

Commenti: I love PRTG. It is genuinely the one tool I have to have running in any environment I am supporting. I don't know that I'd be able to do my job to the best of my ability without the data and tools that PRTG provides. Management is easy, maintenance is easy, and the PRTG support team have always been wonderful to work with. I don't see myself ever changing NMS providers.

Aspetti positivi:

The ease of setting up and the flexibility that the system has. The range of tools PRTG offers is amazing for its price. Not only that, but the system itself is robust and easy to configure and manage. Being able to create useful maps with important data makes it a tool that other non-tech folks can benefit from as well. And the remote probe features are so important in multi-site deployments.

Aspetti negativi:

I wish it had more support for running Linux. I know the new probe can be deployed on Linux (which I've tested quite a bit and enjoy using), but it would be great if that became a possibility for the entire core probe. Having to license and manage a windows server just for PRTG is a bummer. It's worth it for sure, but I'd prefer using Linux instead.

Nice way to keep your eyes on the infraestruture

Commenti: Excellent! Easy to use, accuracy, stable, powerfull creating reports.

Aspetti positivi:

The user interface is instuitive. The reports are very friendly, easy to use. The native sensors are a good way to built the dashboards easily .

Aspetti negativi:

Maybe to be able to allow configure parameters to export.

PRTG Enterprise Monitor; Optimizes your IT Resource Monitoring

Commenti: It made tracking the status of our servers fast and efficient

Aspetti positivi:

It makes it for me to monitor all company resources including servers

Aspetti negativi:

Lacks any ready instructions for specified sensors

The best application for network monitoring

Commenti: In general, this is the best application for network monitoring, fast implementation, many reports, and many ways to get notifications. A good tool for teamwork.

Aspetti positivi:

It is easy to set up, implement, and deploy. It is a Web interface and desktop app which allow fast access.

Aspetti negativi:

The interface of Map must be easier and more organized to understand.

PRTG Enterprise Monitoring

Commenti: Overall, it's been a great asset to our firm as we've grown in size and scope. The few times we have had to utilize PRTG support they've been quick and knowledgeable.

Aspetti positivi:

Ease of use. I can sit someone down who has no experience with System/Network monitoring and show them PRTG and they can instantly identify what systems are in a healthy state and which aren't. Green=Good / Red=Bad.

Aspetti negativi:

Configuring the alert notifications took some time so we weren't overwhelmed with the amount coming in but also making sure we received actionable alerts.

Great Monitor

Aspetti positivi:

The ease of use, and implementation, and it is lightweight on our server

Aspetti negativi:

The pricing seemed steep at first but after working through everything it was reasonable

PRTG Enterprise Monitor is a good tool for monitoring

Aspetti positivi:

PRTG is able to notify us very quickly in the event of an outage

Aspetti negativi:

PRTG Enterprise Monitor doesn't have any flaws, it's just paid compared to Nagios Community

the ideal monitoring tool for large IT infrastructures

Commenti: For any IT team it is absolutely clear that the network infrastructure is the backbone of any current company regardless of its size, and based on this, investing in tools that allow monitoring from the macro to the micro all the details of operation, processes and others makes the company feel confident in its deployment of network equipment and the operation of this, PRTG Enterprise Monitor provides all these features with the added bonus of a technical support team that we have received the collaboration of when required.

Aspetti positivi:

Our company is distributed in several LATAM countries and all its IT infrastructure is located in various datacenters located in some of its major cities, this topology has required a tool with which to have a global vision but in turn detailed of the different data centers and each of the teams that make it up, in turn, services, protocols and other additional elements that are required for proper operation; the control panel is extremely simplified but at the same time powerful and allows with a few clicks to add new data centers as the network expands and immediately we have the visualization of the elements that are required, this is simplicity and effectiveness of the tool.

Aspetti negativi:

It is clear that PRTG Enterprise Monitor is focused on huge IT infrastructures which have many elements and processes that need to be monitored, this translates notoriously in operating costs since it must be taken into account that the license for these cases depends on the number of sensors required, although looking at it from a preventive point of view will be reflected in the initial ROI as it will allow correcting failures before they cause considerable operating expenses.

Prtg with Scansor

Aspetti positivi:

The Probe Network Conzept and Windows based.

Aspetti negativi:

not enough standard sensors. E.g. Azure Tenant Health

Fanstastic software which helps save time and enables better troubleshooting

Aspetti positivi:

The ability to get notifications and fix problems before staff even know something is a problem is fantastic, especially when you appear at the door just as someone goes to place a ticket. The Slack integration means we can also keep an eye on certain critical infrastructure, like WiFi and Printers, and get a notification right to our phones. The history log is also really helpful when diagnosing issues that occur sporadically over time, but never when IT is there.

Aspetti negativi:

There are a lot of options, but this also means that there is a steep learning curve to ensure everything is setup correctly.When turning on certain functions, you need to enable it in multiple places, like when I was trying to get the Slack integration working. I had enabled Notifications for certain events, but I hadn't set a trigger for Notifications

PRTG is a great tool that we use every day, all day.

Commenti: Overall, this product is excellent and don't think I could find any other software so complete.

Aspetti positivi:

PRTG is probably one of the easiest software packages I've ever used. It's highly customizable and easily set up. You can give a device a name and IP address, tell it to auto-discover and it will find all applicable SNMP or WMI items for that device that can be monitored. You can then go through and take things out that you don't need or care about.

Aspetti negativi:

There are some things that are not customizable that I wish were. For example, every time I do a device discovery on a HP switch, I get the port discovered, but also get the RMON port discovered. I do not need both of them. If I delete the RMON port and do a weekly discovery, it picks up the previously deleted RMON ports. I've contacted support about it and the only way to keep that from happening is to pause the RMON sensors so they are not discovered again. I just wish there was a way to modify the auto discovery settings to ignore things, such as the RMON ports, Windows update frequency, etc. that you don't need and don't need the auto-discovery to pick up again. Maybe if there was a list of items that auto discovery looks for and the ability to un-check the box for those items. For switches, I don't need auto discovery to pick up anything else but maybe additional ports that were plugged in since the last auto discovery.

PRTG Network Monitor - Best Network Tool for the Money

Commenti: I have been using PRTG for over 10 years in my career as a IT Network/Systems Admin. There are plenty of tools on the market that can do this same thing but none of them allow for the simple yet powerful design of PRTG. I recommend it to friends, and colleagues all the time.

Aspetti positivi:

PRTG helps me keep my entire network visible in a single pane of glass, whether that is network, server, virtual, or WAN, I have eyes on my network at all times.

Aspetti negativi:

The only negatives I will mention are minor. I run a single server with close to 10,000 sensors, which is considered the maximum for a single server and I see performance problems from time to time because I run it at red line. The interface is a little dated by 2022 standards and could use a facelift.

I love the PRTG Enterprise Monitor solution.

Commenti: In the past, we spent many hours a week manually checking the status of our infrastructure: availability, capacity checks, service status, updates, etc.
Now PRTG does it all for us. PRTG is responsible for monitoring the availability of our equipment, services, review capabilities, database availability, etc. Even now we know the hours of greatest demand for our services and the critical hours. When something in our infrastructure failed, we were aware of it until the client reported it. Now, PRTG takes care of sending us an email notification, telling us what the problem is. This allows us to react even before users are aware of the problem.

Aspetti positivi:

I love that it includes native support for a lot of brands and products like Servers, Routers, Firewalls, Switches, Workstations, Software, etc. The ease of use of PRTG is incredible. You can install and configure it in minutes. The support and documentation of the solution is very good. It even allows you to integrate with other solutions and/or create your own sensors.

Aspetti negativi:

I wish there were more backup monitoring options in addition to VEEAM.

Covers all the bases for mid-sized corporate infrastructure

Commenti: We are using PRTG to monitor all aspects of our network and server infrastructure. After trialling a few products, PRTG was selected several years ago for the extensive feature set at a reasonable cost of ownership. So far we are completely satisfied with the product. PRTG is right-sized for us without all the features we need. We have integrated PRTG with Grafana to produce extremely user-friendly dashboards for our management and the integration was a breeze.

Aspetti positivi:

Ease of use Balanced cost to features Detailed dashboards and graphs Realtime Alerts/notifications Continuous updates and new sensors/features added regularly Easy integration with dashboard software (ie. Grafana)

Aspetti negativi:

Heavy use of resources (I do not believe this is a product issue as we are sharing our hardware resource for other admin utilities)

PRTG is the best recommendation I can make to my IT colleagues

Commenti: Since I've been using PRTG Enterprise Monitor my work has become much easier, it's a tool that you become addicted to as soon as you start configuring it. I have surprised my superiors when I take quick action due to the immediate alerts that PRTG sends me.

Aspetti positivi:

Its simplicity of use and implementation. It does what it has to do. It greatly simplifies the monitoring of large and small networks.

Aspetti negativi:

It could not only monitor, but also be an active part of the devices. Manage them with protocols like SSH, Telnet, RDP from the software.

Perfect for our company

Commenti: It has been great. I have the monitoring dashboard up at all times and it is reliable.

Aspetti positivi:

I like how it was easy to set up and easy to scale. I can set up a typical branch office monitor configuration and literally copy and paste it to set up a different office's monitoring. I like how customizable the notifications are - what do you want to be alerted on vs not alerted on - how much - alerts sent to who, etc...

Aspetti negativi:

I wish there was some aspect of IPAM or even DDI management. Having some sort of inventory management as well would be nice, maybe in the form of a dynamic subnet scanning and showing what is live on the network without creating a static entry in the list.

Motoring world

Aspetti positivi:

The system is easy to setup; using the auto discovery that help to bring up the most relevant sensors to the device being monitored. The network diagrams gave us great insight when troubleshooting issue and pinpoint where the root is. It allows us to be always pro active and provide the uptime required by the business without manually carry out the tasks.

Aspetti negativi:

The default parameter could provide some false positive alerts; some adjustment is needed to make alerts more suitable to the company

excellent monitoring software

Commenti: good support, overall you get a fast and in depth response.

Aspetti positivi:

stable, lots of sensors, being able to use customized sensors, app, reporting, API

Aspetti negativi:

not being able to select a language per user, this is set for the whole configuration.

PRTG is best we can have

Commenti: Just loved it.

Aspetti positivi:

Loved the flexibility provision for monitoring, exact detailed. Thanks

Aspetti negativi:

As far I'm using still haven't observed any cons still.

Software buyer

Commenti: It solve a lot of our bussiness problems

Aspetti positivi:

simple licencing, easy to configure, a huge amount of integrations

Aspetti negativi:

monitoring Linux servers. It needs to be improve
