Really good and portable network and system monitor
What do you like best about the product?
The best things I found on PRTG are: the portability and the possibility to monitor almost everything in our systems.
What do you dislike about the product?
Up to now, we have covered every requirement we have. And we don't have any to complain about.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We can monitor almost everything. We have a very transactional platform, over several countries, and we can monitor every aspect of the operation in each country all the time. The software works with sensors, and these are really generic, what allow to monitor almost every aspect of the operation.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
You can choose PRTG if you are looking for a stable, portable and easy configuration monitor software.
It is really easy to configure, and you can choose between use your own server or work in the cloud.
When you need to monitor your systems (any kind of system), is mandatory to be always aware of the potential errors or problems. That's the only way to react properly. When you use PRTG you can use the APP (iOS and Android compatible). This APP is really effective, and allow you to keep the track of the operation 24/7.
In addition, PRTG use a very generic concept, so you can monitor almost everything. For example, you can build stored procedures and evaluate the behavior of your data. That's really awesome because allows unlimited possibilities.
On the other hand, PRTG is no so expensive, and you can work with the free license, which allows up to 100 sensors.

Good Network Monitor with a lot of Features

It is very easy to add new sensors when you add a new device to the network. My favorite feature is the ability to monitor the traffic patterns of any port. You can also set alarms that if your traffic is unusual it will send an email alerting you.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is not much I dislike about the software, it is easy to use for the most part and has a lot of functionality. However, I'm not sure if this is an issue on our end but there are a lot of times that the webpage runs slowly and eventually the server crashes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use PRTG to monitor our network of two college campuses. It works wonderfully for this purpose and provides one location to watch both our physical locations.
