solarwinds network performance monitor vs prtg

Picking the best monitoring solution can be a hassle. From cloud services and wireless applications to remote workers using VPN and IoT tools, these technologies doing their part to make network infrastructure better-and often more difficult to monitor. However, this challenge is compounded by the influx of continually emerging technologies. With respect to log/event management /SIEM /SOC Solarwind is good for SME type environments.In IT, we’re always seeking new ways to optimize networks while spending as little money and time as possible. Another fantastic NMS software is 'whatsUpGold' which is better than Solarwind and cost is device based (not interface ) and cheaper than Solarwind. 2) Solarwind quickly detects interface up status than PRTG.

I made a scripts to remove logs earlier than 365 days. It doesn't have auto removal option based on duration. Now weak points of PRTG : 1) Log kills huge spaces as it counts per second basis. PRTG license cost is flexible against interfaces but Solarwind counts per device, users, interface basis.

I used to generate customs SLA with respect to defined time frame PRTG is good choice for best report generation than Solarwind. Two separate PRTG server at remote place support clustering in WAN environments with same costing but Solarwind has limitations. Even PRTG better to monitor hardware ram, harddisk, processors utilization, SQL traffic status, AD information is good than Solarwind. I used both in large network environments Solarwinds outlook interface is quite simple than PRTG but if you want to monitor real time traffic using SNMP, PRTG is the best choice but Solarwind counts on an average basis from interface.
