    "Powerful, Flexible, and User-Friendly Monitoring"

    Reviewed on Aug 29, 2025
    Review provided by G2
    What do you like best about the product?
    Easy to get started — auto-discovery made setup quick and I had monitoring running within a day.

    Alerts are accurate and reliable, I only get notified for real issues instead of endless false alarms.

    One tool covers almost everything: servers, switches, applications, and even custom scripts.

    Cost-effective, stable, and gives real-time visibility without adding unnecessary complexity.
    What do you dislike about the product?
    Desktop and mobile apps could use improvements in usability.

    Missing features like better syslog handling, deeper cloud integration, and easier automation.

    Licensing based on sensors can get expensive quickly since one server consumes multiple sensors.

    Support and roadmap updates could be more responsive.
    What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
    Helps identify server and network issues before they affect end users.

    Saves time by consolidating bandwidth, device, and application monitoring into one tool.

    Reliable alerts cut down on false positives, allowing me to focus on fixing real issues.

    Improves stability and reduces downtime by giving full visibility across the environment.

    PRTG Network Monitor — Practical, fast-to-deploy monitoring for small to mid-sized ops teams

    Reviewed on Aug 20, 2025
    Review provided by G2
    What do you like best about the product?
    1. Fast time‑to‑value: automatic discovery and a large library of preconfigured sensors let you start monitoring servers, switches, interfaces and common services in hours, not days.
    2. Clear, actionable visibility: intuitive dashboards, maps and dependable alerts make it easy for on‑call staff and NOC teams to spot and prioritize real issues at a glance.
    3. Friendly for small teams: the Windows installer and solid documentation kept our rollout smooth — we had meaningful monitoring running the same day without hiring extra staff.
    4. Reliable core functionality: uptime, bandwidth, CPU/memory and service checks are robust and help surface trends before they become incidents.
    What do you dislike about the product?
    1. Sensor‑based licensing: costs can climb quickly once you count interfaces, VMs and multiple service checks — plan your sensor estimate up front.
    2. Windows‑only core: the primary deployment is Windows-centric, which can limit multi‑platform collector strategies for cloud‑first or heterogeneous environments.
    3. Customization and integrations: building bespoke sensors, scripting and API workflows is more manual and less polished than some integration‑focused alternatives.
    4. UX gaps in editing: map/dashboard editing can feel dated (limited undo/copy‑paste and HTML-centric tweaks), which slows iterative refinement.
    What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
    1. Early detection and reduced downtime: PRTG gives reliable alerts on failing links, overloaded interfaces and resource spikes so we fix problems before users notice, lowering MTTR.
    2. Centralized operational visibility: it consolidates network and server health into a single pane, simplifying troubleshooting and daily ops for a small team.
    3. Practical NOC-ready displays: straightforward dashboards and maps let us present useful status views on TVs and shareable dashboards without heavy customization.
    4. Cost/scale trade-off clarity: for teams that want quick, dependable monitoring with minimal staffing, PRTG delivers strong ROI — but larger or highly integrated environments should validate sensor counts, hardware sizing and API needs through a short pilot.

    I used PRTG every day — reliable visibility and useful automation, just plan for growth

    Reviewed on Aug 20, 2025
    Review provided by G2
    What do you like best about the product?
    1. Fast to stand up: discovery gave me a working view of switches, firewalls and servers in under an hour — good for quick pilots.
    2. Clear visualizations: maps and dashboards made it easy to communicate status to ops and non-technical stakeholders during weekly reviews.
    3. Remote probes work: placing probes at regional sites kept polling local and kept our central server responsive over flaky WAN links.
    4. Practical automation: I built a small script PRTG can run to restart a hung service; that eliminated repeated manual fixes for a known issue.
    5. Useful historical data: daily/weekly reports and trends helped me validate ISP outages and plan capacity changes.
    What do you dislike about the product?
    1. Sensor-based licensing can surprise you — costs rose faster than expected when we added interface counters and flow sensors.
    2. The web UI can slow when many sensors or very complex dashboards are open at once; splitting dashboards helped but required extra setup.
    3. Deeply custom reports required exporting data and some scripting; built-in templates cover common needs but aren’t infinitely flexible.
    4. Mobile dashboards can feel sluggish loading large historic charts.
    What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
    1. One-pane troubleshooting: I stopped hopping between tools; interface and flow stats let me find congested links and correlate them to server spikes quickly.
    2. Reduced repetitive work: small automated actions handled common problems overnight, so the team could focus on higher-value incidents.
    3. Strong vendor evidence: historical reports provided clear proof of multi-hour ISP outages and helped get SLA credits.
    4. Fewer repetitive tickets: small automatic remediations handled common faults overnight, freeing our NOC to focus on higher-priority incidents.
    5. Clear evidence for vendors: scheduled reports and historical data helped me document outages and get faster responses from ISPs

    Versatile Monitoring for Data Engineers: Not Just for Networks

    Reviewed on Aug 20, 2025
    Review provided by G2
    What do you like best about the product?
    As a data engineer, I use PRTG nearly every day to keep tabs on both our core infrastructure and data pipelines. Its interface is straightforward—with just a bit of setup, I was monitoring API performance, message queue depths, and resource usage across hybrid cloud and on-prem environments. PRTG’s breadth of built-in sensors plus the ability to add custom ones gives me a lot of flexibility to monitor exactly what matters for our ETL processes. Integrating PRTG data into our dashboards via its API and webhook support has made our troubleshooting much faster, especially when we need to correlate issues across different systems.
    What do you dislike about the product?
    Implementation was smooth for IT basics, but custom data pipeline monitoring required more scripting knowledge and the documentation for advanced sensors could be clearer for non-ops users. While customer support is responsive, some of our issues (like setting up custom alerts for data workflow failures) have needed multiple follow-ups. Exporting long-term logs into our analytics platform is more manual than I’d hoped. Also, direct integrations with popular modern data tools are limited, so frequent customization is part of the routine.
    What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
    PRTG helps us monitor the health and performance of both our core infrastructure and our data pipelines. By setting up custom sensors, we can track queue depths, API uptime, database servers, and ETL bottlenecks all in one dashboard. This central view lets us catch and resolve issues before they disrupt business-critical data flows, saving troubleshooting time and improving uptime.
