Let us start by telling you what PRTG is and can do. First and foremost, it is an on-premise and cloud-based network monitoring solution. It caters to businesses of all sizes (across multiple industry verticals) and is compatible with Windows 7 or later. Primary features include bandwidth monitoring, alerts, data publishing, customization support, and reporting. PRTG monitors your entire IT infrastructure and all important technologies are supported, such as: SNMP, WMI and Windows Performance Counters, SSH, Traffic analysis using flow protocols or packet sniffing, HTTP requests, REST APIs returning XML or JSON, Ping, SQL, and many more. In addition to what PRTG can already do well out of the box, it's super easy to configure it for your individual needs. This ultimately makes it a tool to "monitor every thing". Have we sparked your curiosity? You can say PRTG has a helper syndrome. It helps users to monitor devices, network traffic, and applications. It specifically helps administrators and technical staff to monitor network outages, analyze network connections, monitor network quality, and comply with service level agreements. It can even help you monitor things you don't know you would like to monitor. Like the power generation of the PV system on your company roof. \#mindblown Practicality is paramount. PRTG assists IT administrators to monitor up- and downtime for an individual device or an entire network using a single console. A customizable dashboard displays real-time network performance and status information for all devices. Administrators can remotely dispatch updates or install new applications across devices using a master console. PRTG's capability to distributed monitoring means you can monitor networks in different locations and separated networks within your company with PRTG Remote Probes. You can use remote probes to monitor your LAN with the hosted version of PRTG and get the overview in one central PRTG core installation. You can also use remote probes to distribute monitoring load. Each PRTG license supports an unlimited number of users and includes all features. Our license assistant helps you find the perfect license based on your number of devices and applications. Oh, and we also offer a free, 30-day trial of PRTG. This gives you full access to all the nice features our monitoring tool has to offer.
