Being asked to accept an <a href=\"https:\/\/shop.paessler.com\/shop\/paessler-prtg-network-monitor-213#attr=\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">unexpected price increase<\/span><\/a> should prompt you to evaluate the benefits of switching to SolarWinds. After all, if you\u2019re going to pay more, shouldn\u2019t you get more? Here are four reasons this transition could be a game-changer for your IT operations.<\/p>\n<h4>A Single, Unified Solution to Eliminate Tool Sprawl<\/h4>\n<p>SolarWinds Observability Self-Hosted extends beyond monitoring into observability to deliver a unified view across hybrid IT infrastructures. In comparison, Paessler relies on partnerships with other vendors to enhance PRTG\u2019s capabilities, incorporating tools like IP Fabric for validation and ScriptRunner for automation. A multi-vendor setup like this can lead to discrepancies, including varying data formats and inconsistent reporting methods. These compatibility issues among different tools can increase complexity and create visibility gaps that can slow incident response to incidents and increase the risks associated with prolonged downtime. A single, full-stack solution like ours streamlines IT management and makes integration easy. As one <a href=\"https:\/\/app.userevidence.com\/assets\/2846VGSP\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">SolarWinds customer puts it<\/span><\/a>, \u201cThere is so much that can be done with the SolarWinds Platform in a short period of time and with minimal effort.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4>Expanded and Enhanced Capabilities<\/h4>\n<p>PRTG lacks built-in features for configuration validation, automated troubleshooting, and clear security visibility. As a result, it depends heavily on engineers to resolve issues, which risks slowing down remediation time and heaping pressure on IT staff. On the other hand, the modern observability solution from SolarWinds boasts a sophisticated array of integrated features to give your team the maximum support to keep systems up and running. SolarWinds employs artificial intelligence and machine learning to detect anomalies and automatically correlate data from disparate systems. When it comes to analyzing and interpreting information, our solutions do the heavy lifting, suggesting paths to resolution and even intervening on your team\u2019s behalf to help prevent issues before they occur. <a href=\"https:\/\/app.userevidence.com\/assets\/7019DQLV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">One customer says<\/span><\/a>: \u201cWe had a \u2018monitoring solution\u2019 that sent out useless alerts with no context and didn&#8217;t support monitoring for most of our infrastructure. Bringing in SolarWinds, we were able to monitor everything from network to servers to our virtualization and storage environments. We went from near-zero visibility to having insight down to the user switchport\u201d.<\/p>\n<h4>Impact Out of the Box<\/h4>\n<p>When it comes to the day-one capabilities of our solutions, our <a href=\"https:\/\/app.userevidence.com\/assets\/2846VGSP\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">customers say it best<\/span><\/a>: \u201cEverything you could possibly need was right there, available through a few clicks and without the need to do any scripting. The people behind the products put in time and effort to build the best out-of-the-box experience.\u201d The same customer observed, \u201cWe were not willing to invest time and effort in building custom integrations or automation programs because we knew that these would eventually break or become obsolete. SolarWinds offered a platform that did away with complexities and the \u2018you can script it\u2019 approach.\u201d Forget complex tailoring and time-consuming modifications. SolarWinds Observability works to optimize your IT environment from the moment it&#8217;s adopted.<\/p>\n<h4>We Meet You Where You Are<\/h4>\n<p>Features and functionality aside, how your monitoring and observability solution is implemented should be designed to fit your environment, not the other way around. Your journey matters, and your vendor should never dictate how you deploy and manage your observability solution. SolarWinds meets you wherever you are on your path to modernization.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Source:<\/strong>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/orangematter.solarwinds.com\/2024\/12\/09\/four-reasons-paessler-prtg-customers-should-consider-switching-to-solarwinds\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Four Reasons Paessler PRTG Customers Should Consider Switching to SolarWinds<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This summer, Paessler announced a new, more expensive subscription-only pricing model that may have PRTG customers reconsidering their options.
