Overall Satisfaction with PRTG Network Monitor
We use PRTG for real-time monitoring of all the servers across our various environments. It is, among other tools, a critical part of our infrastructure and alerts us almost instantly when a parameter has exceeded the specified ranges that we have setup. It is a very flexible tool and I have been extremely impressed with it overall.
- Very easy to setup new sensors (new endpoints to monitor).
- High level of customization for various features.
- User-friendly, intuitive web UI.
- Documentation could be a little more thorough/easy to understand.
- Built-in reports could be expanded a little bit more.
- Does not support SSO or more than one Active Directory sync.
- It has become an integral part of our monitoring suite.
- Very valuable tool for a reasonable price.
- Provides redundancy when combined with other systems in place to help us meet SLAs.
In comparison with two other similar tools I have used in the past, I would put PRTG in the middle strictly in terms of features/performance, but at the top when overall value is considered. While SolarWinds does have some features that PRTG lacks, it comes at a much higher price point so it does not have the same ROI. On the other hand, Nagios, while open source, is not as user-friendly nor as robust as PRTG, thus making PRTG an excellent product choice if you are in the market for a robust, yet budget-friendly, network device monitoring tool.
