Detect PRTG disruptions and outages early

We have been using PRTG productively in our data center and with customers for several years now. PRTG has always worked reliably and flawlessly. The daily work with PRTG is extremely easy, the operation is quick to learn, and disruptions or outages can be detected and resolved early.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is actually nothing to criticize about PRTG.

Most simple deployable yet versatile monitoring tool
What do you like best about the product?
The great thing about PRTG is that you can gain insight into your infrastructure very quickly. Not only via SMNP but a wide range of protocols can be used. The templates also make it very easy to implement complicated monitoring.
What do you dislike about the product?
Well, price can be a barrier for some. This is done with tiers at the moment. Unlimited numbers of sensors is no longer possible.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Wide range of applications on various products such as networks, servers, but also temperature monitoring and power supplies
Premium monitoring software with lots of customizability and an afordable prize
What do you like best about the product?
Highly customizable monitoring platform with plenty of pre-set sensors and good report and ticketing system. Its API allows ease of integration on any platform needed, and its alert system allows us to heavily automate network procedures.
What do you dislike about the product?
Maps and dashboards need to be done manually and might be a bit lacking. System stability somewhat lacking on high demand installations (but this might be due to being Windows based instead of Linux based).

PRTG gives us visibility on underlying issues our IT and Network might have.
Super useful tool for an administrator who needs visibility of the entire network

Easy installation, configuration, and operation setup
What do you dislike about the product?
nothing for the moment, as the modules have been useful to me
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The update to more nodes is a bit exaggerated, since from 1000, it could ask for 2000 but no, it goes to a higher number.
If we want to monitor something, then we use PRTG. Layer 1-8
What do you like best about the product?
Automatic sensor detection. Wide selection of pre-made sensors. Helpful wiki and also reliable support.
What do you dislike about the product?
Price development. For medium-sized companies, one must already argue more with the new prices than when making a purchase a few years ago.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Strangely posed question - not sure if the translation caused it or if I'm not up to date with the current state of internet life. :D
Insight into one's own system, which one should manage and be responsible for. PRTG makes it possible to cover all layers 1-8, and if you use the tool properly, nothing should slip through your fingers. :)

Overload traffic
A very versatile tool
What do you like best about the product?
The tool is very good and easy to configure and/or deploy, whether with local or remote sensors when there are remote sites within the company. It has a wide variety of sensors and has the tools to customize or create sensors based on the MIB files of any manufacturer and covers the seven layers of the OSI model to be monitored and generate the respective alerts.

The only thing, perhaps, is that it doesn't have a version to install on Linux and also the increase in its price, which has been very significant.
