Customers prefer OpManager over other network monitoring alternatives
Previously, I used PRTG in my environment and recently switched to OpManager. I am overall much happier with this move. To name a few reasons:
- When adding a device, OpManager already has a profile built for you with sensors setup. In PRTG, you can also set up a profile; however, you have to sit there and build it yourself initially.
- The reports offer much better Information. I can get information that was presented to me by PRTG and VMWare Realize, now are all under the same product. Essentially, this eliminates two products in my environment.
- I also feel that OpManager is a complete product. My goal was to find one product I could use to replace multiple monitoring solutions. OpManager with Flow analysis, IP management, config management, domain controller monitoring, storage, and application monitoring is it.
