PRTG vs. Auvik: All-in-one monitoring software for your entire network, all features included

PRTG is a comprehensive monitoring tool for your entire IT infrastructure. It lets you keep a constant eye on your servers, applications, virtual environment, and important hardware, as well as many other network components.

With other tools like Auvik, you have to pay more to access the full range of features such as flow and syslog monitoring or traffic analysis. And purchase different modules for network monitoring, cloud services monitoring, or Wi-Fi monitoring. This can quickly drive up costs and make it difficult to decide upon the right package.

PRTG solves all this with its unparalleled set of included features, its intuitive feel, easy-to-read dashboards, customizable alarms, network mapping, and more. This means you can stop juggling separate specialized tools that offer only isolated solutions and cost precious time.

6 reasons why PRTG beats Auvik as a choice for MSPs

On-premises or hosted

Auvik is a cloud-based tool, which means you can only access it while online. You also have no control over the installation of the main server. With PRTG, you have the choice: you can install our software on a server in your local network or opt for our hosted version.

Secure & flexible architecture

PRTG’s special architecture allows your customers to access their monitoring remotely. You as an MSP can host the central PRTG server in the cloud or on-premises in your own data center. Remote probes, included for free, provide for secure remote monitoring of your customers’ networks.

Multi-tenancy included

Customers can remotely access their monitoring environment themselves. PRTG Network Monitor and PRTG Hosted Monitor come with a single application, single database multi-tenancy, while PRTG Enterprise Monitor offers a single application, multiple databases multi-tenancy.

Personalized management

Our network monitoring software comes with a comprehensive roles and permissions system that lets you manage the access rights of your customers to their monitoring. For each customer, you can define the sensors that they can set up or which dashboards, reports, and other data they can see.

Custom alerts & notifications

PRTG's highly customizable alerting & notifications system lets you choose if you want to send alerts directly to the customer or to yourself – or both, also as part of different escalation steps. With our real-time alerts, you can even react before your customer realizes that there’s an issue.

Reports on different levels

Generate deep-dive or high-level reports, exactly as your customers need them, and include detailed value tables or only charts and graphs. It’s even possible to set schedules for report creation to automatically send the reports to your customers via email.
