These are my thoughts on the on premise installation since I have no experience with their cloud service. PRTG is a network monitoring application where your plan is to have simple monitoring using mainly SNMP and WMI, PRTG is easy to setup, easy to scale (if you plan for it) and easy to maintain. There are definitely some areas with custom sensors that could see some improvement, but if you put the time in (same thing with all monitoring tools probably) you can get most of your specific monitoring needs covered.

Dynatrace infrastructure monitoring auto-discovers your entire stack with minimal setup and provides real-time topology mapping that makes incident triage fast and intuitive. It is powerful for complex hybrid environments, though host based pricing adds up quickly and anomaly detection requires careful tuning up front

Truly a great tool to monitor server status and resource usage. The custom alert options helps us to create and fine tune thresholds and greatly improve response time. We are visually able to understand where the resources are being utilized and how the servers can be optimized for better over all performance Zabbix has made it very clear and straight forward to monitor server status and conduct effective health checks.

It's been a solid choice. It does what we need it to do and helps us see what's actually going on when someone reports something as "broken" or if we need to verify problems we're seeing. Little bit of a learning curve but it's very reliable.
