Dimensions summary
The software itself is free of charge. You pay only for the AWS EC2 compute time used to run it. Pricing is set per hour and varies by the instance type you select. Two instance families are offered: t3 sizes (nano, micro, small, medium, large, xlarge, 2xlarge) and m5 sizes (large, xlarge, 2xlarge, 4xlarge, 8xlarge). Smaller instances suit lighter monitoring loads. Larger instances provide more CPU and memory for heavier workloads. Your hourly cost rises as you move to a larger instance. You are billed for hours the instance runs.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
The freeware edition monitors up to 100 sensors, which covers about 10 devices. A sensor is one measured value, such as a switch port's traffic or a server's CPU load. On average you use 5 to 10 sensors per device. This limit applies regardless of the instance type you select.
Hourly software charges apply only while the instance runs. A fully stopped instance stops accruing hourly compute charges. However, stopped instances may still incur underlying AWS storage fees for attached volumes. The software meters running time, so powering off the instance halts the per-hour cost.
t3 instances offer burstable performance and suit lighter, variable monitoring loads. m5 instances provide steady CPU and memory for continuous, heavier workloads. Both bill per hour the instance runs. Larger sizes within either family raise your hourly cost while adding more CPU and memory.

Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.

Fast Setup, Flexible Monitoring, and Reliable Alerts with PRTG
Reviewed on Apr 11, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
What I really like about PRTG is how quickly you can get meaningful monitoring without spending days on setup. In my case, I was able to start with basic device monitoring and then gradually build custom sensors using APIs and scripts. The flexibility is what stands out—especially when working with cloud services. I’ve used it to monitor AWS resources indirectly via custom endpoints, and the ability to visualize even non-standard data in a clean dashboard is very useful. Also, the alerting system is reliable—I rarely miss critical issues because notifications are quite configurable.
What do you dislike about the product?
One thing that could be improved is how it handles scaling in larger environments. As the number of sensors grows, managing them becomes slightly less intuitive, especially when you want to apply bulk changes or maintain consistency across similar setups. Also, while the UI is simple for basic use, some advanced configurations feel a bit scattered—you need to navigate multiple sections to fine-tune things. It’s not a deal breaker, but it takes time to get fully comfortable.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
PRTG helped me move from reactive troubleshooting to proactive monitoring. Earlier, we used to depend on manual checks or delayed alerts from different tools. Now, I have a centralized view of system health, including custom API checks, which helps identify issues before they impact users. It also reduced the time spent on debugging because historical data and logs are easily accessible. Overall, it improved system reliability and gave better visibility into both infrastructure and application-level metrics without needing multiple tools.
