A must for Network Administrators
What do you like best about the product?
We use it mostly for alerts. We get an email every time a device is down or comes back up. We also use the Maps function to display the network on TV's. We also monitor interfaces on deices and services on servers.
What do you dislike about the product?
As far as Meraki integration, you could only the cloud status. It looks like if I want more information to monitor on those devices, I will need help from support or extra help to monitor the health and interfaces.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Alerting when devices go down is the most critical piece for us. Instead of waiting for the following morning, i can address the problem right away. Our up time is near 100 percent due to this.

See all your networking and their state in one single view
What do you like best about the product?
We run about 5 to 6 PRTG servers in our organisation, which significantly helps watch all our networking and their state in a single 'Devices' page on each server.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing I disliked, which I recently discovered, was the sound notification of alerts with an annoying sound and no customisation of choosing different sound notifications.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It reduces the tedious job of an administrator to log into each server or network device to check their health. It helps notify administrators whenever there is a problem with a particular sensor attached to a 'Device' or even the probe/node.

Probably the only way it shows interface down alters. It Should have alerts by default for interface down, like in Zabbix or Solar winds. Maps can be improved for better visual understanding. Sensor-based licensing can become expensive for a more extensive network.
