PRTG
PRODUCT SUMMARY
Praessler PRTG Network Monitor is an infrastructure monitoring solution that empowers sysadmins and IT teams to keep track of network devices around the globe. PRTG Network Monitor simplifies collecting device status and health reports and sending out alerts for unusual metrics. PRTG operates on sensor-based licensing which allows users to customize their network monitoring but can also limit the number of metrics being tracked.
USE CASES
- Remote monitoring:
With remote monitoring functions, PRTG Network Monitor can detect device status, and measure other metrics based on the configured sensors. - Network management:
PRTG provides visibility with dashboards that can display network conditions and issues such as outages and traffic packet loss. - IT infrastructure security:
Its alert and report system acts as a first line of defense against network vulnerabilities, allowing users to act quickly.
SHORTCOMINGS
- Limited features:
PRTG focuses primarily on network monitoring, and some users have complained about lack of integrations. - Slow interface:
According to users, it can take some time to navigate the dashboards, and the user interface can be slow to respond. - Requires Windows to run:
While PRTG can be configured to monitor macOS and Linux, the PRTG software must be installed on a Windows server. - Alert issues:
Reviewers have noted that there are several issues with alerts such as lack of alerts for issues other than outages and disruptive false positive notifications.
NinjaOne
Why your peers choose us over PRTG
While PRTG claims they can monitor network devices, bandwidth, servers, applications, virtual environments, remote systems, IoT, and more, NinjaOne allows users to monitor their IT assets and manage and patch their hardware and software. NinjaOne’s unified IT management platform provides a comprehensive suite of tools, consolidating remote monitoring and management (RMM), network management software (NMS), patch management, IT automation, remote access, backup, ticketing, and mobile device management (MDM) in one easy-to-use and seamlessly integrated platform.
NinjaOne also features accurate, real-time alerts, keeping IT environments secure and operational and minimizing vulnerabilities and downtime more effectively than PRTG’s monitoring-centric approach. In addition, PRTG’s sensor-based licensing places a hard limit on the devices and metrics that IT teams can keep track of which can mean users would need a different tool for their other IT assets.
NinjaOne’s cloud-native console can manage any devices as long as the user has an internet connection. PRTG requires a Windows server to run which can be more stable, but NinjaOne consolidates all the tools you need to monitor and manage multiple OS and mobile device monitoring and management, into a single pane of glass.
“As we grew, we started looking for tools that would help us support more clients more efficiently. We wanted something that gave us more control over endpoints and systematically keep tabs on devices. We needed a tool that would notify us when something was wrong, let us customize those alerts, and help us automate tasks…What really set NinjaOne apart for us was the great design, modern technology, and the new features that come out all the time.”
