Monitoring solutions
Not every company needs the same thing. Some want the license and run it with their own team; others would rather we handle everything. Here are the three options and when each one makes sense.
The first decision
Before comparing features, it helps to settle who will run the monitoring day to day. That almost always decides the rest.
You buy the platform and it is yours. We implement it, configure it, and train your team, who then operate it. Full control over data, rules, and retention.
A good fit if you have an IT team with capacity to run it.
We set up the platform, keep it updated, configure the devices, and make sure everything keeps working. You just check the dashboards and get the alerts.
A good fit if you have no dedicated team, or would rather not add to their load.
Both GrafanaMonitor and PRTG Cloud fall here.
The three options
Each one solves a different scenario. If it is not obvious which fits, the table below compares them side by side.
End-to-end monitoring of network, servers, and applications. With the licence in your name or rented on PRTG Cloud.
We set it up and run it. You check dashboards and receive the alerts.
AI-driven hybrid observability for large, distributed infrastructures.
