Overall Satisfaction with PRTG Network Monitor
We use PRTG Network Monitor as a central monitoring platform for our 4 corporate sites (including Amazon AWS) as well as all of our customer locations (around 10 sites) that are spread across the USA. It's our primary monitoring tool for our entire organization. It does SNMP monitoring well and it makes remote support (an essential part of our business model) of all of our sites possible will alerts that get sent to whoever needs to be notified when something happens.
- Consistent, real-time alerts.
- A decent repository of MIB's and OID's for quick auto-discovery.
- User-friendly interface.
- Its MIB library could be expanded by quite a lot, I have to spend a lot of time with device manufacturer support when I need to monitor something specific (fan speed, firmware version, etc).
- It's really not that scaleable beyond 10,000 sensors.
- PRTG as an SNMP tool makes it possible for us to support all of our environments remotely and that is invaluable.
- It was great until we had to deploy a second server to support more than 10,000 sensors (the license itself costs way more than it should have compared to competitors).
- Some extra cost is added when you consider the amount of time I've had to spend with device manufacturers getting certain OID's and MIB's since PRTG didn't have them in its repository.
