About PRTG

Say hello to PRTG Network Monitor, our award-winning and all-inclusive monitoring solution. 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. So seriously, what are you waiting for?

It is a pleasure to use

I have been working in this field for more than 5 years, and everyone knows that you have to monitor the established IT infrastructure at all times. There are many solutions like PRTG, but I prefer PRTG, which is chosen with both the convenience of the interface and a lot of features. It was very easy to set up and manage. And one of my favorite parts is that you can use licenses that are suitable for your environment, even if your environment grows in the future, there is no need to rebuild the license accordingly. I think the monitoring application is very important from the point of view of security and stability, and PRTG is the most suitable and convenient for me among these applications.

Pros

It was very easy to use in the first turn, moreover, it has sensors suitable for the desired device.

Cons

There are many network monitoring tools like PRTG, but PRTG had the most convenient and easy-to-use interface among them. It has many good features. I've been using PRTG for several years now and I'm very satisfied. There's nothing I don't like about it.

Alternatives Considered

Reasons for Switching to PRTG

Considering the prices and advantages, the most optimal choice was PRTG

Easy to implement, web based and nearly agent less monitoring

It was easy to install and manage, it's helpling a lot with monitoring and alerting and it's aeasy to use. Also to adapt or tweak thresholds is very easy.

Pros

It's very easy to implement and for a lot of the user cases it does not need an agent or software to be installed

Cons

For well known Enterprise Products e.g. VMWare VCenter there are only limited intergration available.

PRTG Network Monitor is a powerful tool

This tool has saved us a lot of time with configuration of in-depth service monitoring

Pros

The ease to implement and on-board new devices into the portal. The out-the-box templates are also very good and enable us to monitor in-depth services with ease

Cons

Bespoke and customised service monitoring is a bit complicated and it would be nice to have more comprehensive documentation on this

Response from Paessler GmbH

My go-to monitoring solution for almost 10 years

I have been extremely happy with PRTG for the close to 10 years that I have used it. It has been extremely reliable, which is paramount for a tool you are using to monitor your entire network.

Pros

I love how easy it is to get rolled out and customized to work for pretty much anything with an IP Address. Real-time and historical data that is provided in PRTG is invaluable.

Cons

While this is not necessarily it's intended purpose, the Syslog/SNMP sensors could use some work to make it easier to use them as a collector/trap for historical logs.

Reasons for Switching to PRTG

More polished product. Ease of use. Price. Cleaner interface. Recommendations from others.
