We use PRTG Network Monitor to monitor our sensors. We created a dashboard for our particular sensors which is critical, and those sensors show in the same dashboard. Whenever they do fail, it shows in red.

Clear, Reliable Network Monitoring from a Single Dashboard
What do you like best about the product?
What I like most about Paessler PRTG is the visibility it gives into network and system health from a single dashboard. Most of the common monitoring use cases are available out of the box, and the alerting helps catch issues early instead of finding out when something breaks. For regular, day-to-day monitoring, it works reliably and doesn’t need a lot of manual effort once the setup is done. The implementation was fairly smooth in my case, and after that it’s been easy to use on a regular basis. Integrations are simple enough to work with, and overall it’s been a dependable tool for our monitoring needs.
What do you dislike about the product?
One thing that could be improved is the initial setup and configuration, which can feel a bit overwhelming at first, especially for users who are not very technical. It takes some time to fine-tune alerts properly to avoid unnecessary notifications. The interface, while functional, could also be more intuitive in certain areas, particularly when navigating more detailed settings.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Paessler PRTG helps solve the problem of having to monitor multiple systems and devices separately. Instead of manually checking different tools or dashboards, it provides a centralized view of network and system health. This makes it easier to identify issues early, respond faster to incidents, and reduce downtime. Overall, it improves visibility and saves time compared to more manual monitoring approaches.

Centralized dashboard has improved server monitoring and now reduces downtime for our team
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
PRTG Network Monitor offers a single-pane dashboard where we can monitor all the servers on one single screen. We can monitor all the servers with a single eye, which helps our team to detect a failed server quickly. Earlier we used to monitor those servers manually one after each, but now we can monitor those servers in a single dashboard easily. This saves our team time checking each server manually, which in turn also reduces downtime.

The reporting features look very technical and that can be improved. If they can change the report so everyone can understand it, that would be helpful.

Comprehensive Network Monitoring Made Easy
What do you like best about the product?
The best aspect of Paessler PRTG is its ability to provide a comprehensive, single-pane-of-glass view into my network and device health, offering essential real-time visibility. The system is comprehensive in its monitoring capabilities, yet it remains relatively easy to set up once the user masters the fundamental sensor-based basics
What do you dislike about the product?
The primary drawback of Paessler PRTG is that its vast array of features and extensive configuration options, while powerful, can sometimes be a bit overwhelming for new users or for those managing a smaller, less complex environment, leading to a steeper initial learning curve.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
PRTG is helping me shift from constantly reacting to problems to actually getting ahead of them. Because it constantly tracks device uptime, I know exactly what's going on and I don't risk missing crucial updates. I also love that I can instantly check internet traffic to spot performance issues or saturated links. The best part, though, is how often I get alerted to a problem—like a server that's starting to fail—and I know about the issue before the people on the site even realize anything is wrong!
