PRTG is a lifesaver

  • September 01, 2020
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
PRTG has been instrumental in allowing us to setup real time active monitoring of all web servers and continually evaluate resource management and usage across boxes. With built in selectable sensors covering a vast array of areas you would be hard pressed to find areas not covered. PRTG was easy to setup and use with documentation online to follow as needed. We are currently using for limited purposes so still fall into the free range of sensors but are looking to expand in the future to more devices.
What do you dislike about the product?
Once you go over 100 sensors the pricing can go up quickly. Initially upon install PRTG wanted to auto scan and add all devices on the network - maybe I missed something but I spent a bunch of time then removing devices I did not want it to list currently. The user interface is decent but could be slightly more polished.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have multiple web servers that we wanted real time notificatons and warnings on when certain limits were reached regarding both CPU usage and memory usage. This allows us to track and proactively handle issues before customers and clients can call in reporting slowness on their sites. With the built in email and text notifications you can receive these anytime and anywhere.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Play with the main built into sensors

PRTG makes network monitoring affordable

  • July 01, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Upgrading the software is extremely easy. There is no need to do any command line it is all downloaded and installed locally with the PRTG upgrade wizard. You get a good amount of probes for a great price which really sold us above Solar Winds
What do you dislike about the product?
The interface could be a little better managed. It is basic but takes a minute to get sorted through the information especially if you are network administrator for multiple locations.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are keeping track of our network health and critical applications and servers that need constant uptime.

Simple deployment over a network environment can be considered as advantages in PRTG. Without much intervention, it can identify device details. It is not required customize external package or plugins in PRTG Network Monitor.

powerful and very intuitive monitoring tool

  • September 24, 2019
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The basic function of a network monitoring software should be to provide the administrator with the time to perform other useful tasks instead of having to be permanently aware of the infrastructure of all connected systems.
What do you dislike about the product?
Although they do not express it explicitly, they have a strong dependence on the Microsoft software house, since it only works under the “Microsoft Windows” operating system (they recommend “Windows Server 2012 R2”; for other editions, install the “.NET framework” package 4.5 ”with its updated security patches).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
IT infrastructure needs a constant review in order to ensure the health of your system. Are there overloaded components, like CPU or memory, for example? Is the temperature of your servers acceptable? Are there Windows servers that restart occasionally during the night? Are you aware of this issue, or missing the clue that something is wrong? You also want to know when hard disks in your environment are nearing maximum capacity, when memory is running low, or you need to upgrade your internet connection due to increasing bandwidth usage. Knowing these network conditions will indicate when it might be time to invest in new hardware resources.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
PRTG is the perfect tool to monitor all your hardware, including servers, routers and switches. You can also constantly monitor bandwidth and applications.

Functionalities and diversification of services

  • April 19, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
We use PRTG as a monitoring tool, to observe consumption and latency of our configured links in our edge router, and also use it as internal monitoring and support in the development of graphs and reports.
What do you dislike about the product?
It meets all the requested requirements regarding interface monitoring, map creations and reports, however when arriving at a certain amount of sensors, we can not add more sensors, thus forcing the purchase to continue the cadatros and monitoring.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Monitoring our dedicated ip link provided by our internet operators, our customers and our internal network, also creating traffic maps of our backbone and generating consumption reports.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Of great value for the use and monitoring of external and internal link, being able besides this monitoring, to be able to create maps and also to generate reports of consumption of the network.
