Avaliações do PRTG Enterprise Monitor

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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)

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

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...

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.

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.

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

Its very easy to deploy and configure, the software is intuitive and self explanatory

Some of the stats are not as accurate in the sense that the min sample time is 10sec so not really real-time monitoring. Harder to deploy on remote systems, you need to deploy a remote probe. Their support can certainly improve

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

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

simple to create monitors and create custom notifications

initial configuration takes a small learning curve to get up and running

Easy to setup and add the devices/sensors if you already have SNMP configured on the devices to be monitored. Auto discovery may offer stuff you weren't thinking to monitor.

Web GUI may not be user-friendly for some tasks. For example if you can't right click on a sensor and open it in a new tab.

Not often you can find a package that bundes all your wishes but PRTG does that. The inerface allows quick identification of issues and the alert system is used daily. The commitment to constantly improving the product only make me want it more.

Deployment poses a challenge with all the sensors and reslly no identifier for some - but the catalog is exanding

This software is very reasonably priced, and you can customize the sensors to match the needs of your environment.

It does take a while to set everything up if you make everything custom, but it is worth it.

Many sensors, easy to setup compared to competitors. Very customizable in alerting and what you can monitor.

Doesn't scale well once to 10k+ sensors, vendor recommendation against virtualization. Price increasing and licensing scheme.

The ease of maintenance, reliability of alerts and ease of monitoring without agents.

A bit complicated to configure anything except basic alerts. Not much integration with third parties.

Total visibility of the IT estate. It's simple, easy to use interface provides a great product which is easy to setup and quick to get going.

Some of the menus at first glance might not be as intuitive as you would like, but once you understand the concepts it's easy to use.

PRTG is reliable/fast/intelligent and intuitive to work with

because PRTG can use/monitor so many different services/protocols etc it can be overwhelming for new users to understand the potential

The all encompassing monitoring that you can enable for every device on your network.

the UI wasn't the best to learn but after using it for a bit you become accustomed to it.

Adding monitoring sensors with PRTG is super easy. Also: integrating different notification types for different cases is a high value feature.

The only con at the moment is the mobile view in a browser BUT you can use the app that works like a charm.

That we can setup a wall to see everything.

Customization is a little tricky in the beginning

Easy to Use, big amount of Sensors implemented. Possibility to create own sensors. Quick start possible.

Mass deployment of similar Sensors to multiple devices could be better.

monitor your IT environment, aletrs, notifications, easy to use

its hard to find something, set up the notification hierarchy, small improvmnet in notification email looks

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

monitoring Linux servers. It needs to be improve
