PRTG makes network monitoring affordable

PRTG Software
What do you like best about the product?
Flexibility of monitoring equipment. We are able to group equipment by location and device type. We are also able to give access to certain devices to the local IT departments for their monitoring.
What do you dislike about the product?
Currently being ran from one location to monitor all locations gloablly. Sometimes there are false reports that equipment is down if there is high bandwidth usage over the MPLS but not at the locations.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Checking the uptime of devices such as routers, firewalls, access points, switches, and servers. To help in the troubleshooting of problems if they are netowrk related or machine related.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure that if you are monitoring multiple locations that you have sufficient bandwidth so that you do not get false reports that locations or equipment is down.
PRTG - Customizeable Monitoring Solution
What do you like best about the product?
PRTG is a very dynamic network monitoring solution that allows the administrator to deeply monitor every device on their network. Anything from disk space, to memory, to logs. PRTG allows the administrator to pick and choose what they want to monitor based on their needs, and set it up to send out email/text alerts to their sys admins in order to prevent downtime in their environments.
What do you dislike about the product?
The functionality of PRTG is pretty fantastic. I honestly don't have too many complaints. I suppose the only suggestions that I would make would be to clean up the GUI a little bit, as some views are 'linear', and can blend together. Making a slightly more friendly user interface would really be the only improvement I can see (Atleast for my needs).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use this solution as a network monitor to monitor all of our servers. We maintain a large environment that serves thousands of clients, so maintaining uptime is key. This product allows us to keep an eye on all of our servers, and prevent downtime by being alerted to any potential issues.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This product is a robust and customizeable tool for network monitoring, and can be configured for just about any environment and solution.

What do you dislike about the product?

PRTG: A very easier to monitor networks
What do you like best about the product?
The best things in PRTG are adding sensors, setting alarms, monitor bandwidth utilization and the most important thing is generating reports. Report is generating correctly (Day/Weekly/Monthly) which I am showing presentation to my Managers which is my favourite and able to win my Managers confidence.
What do you dislike about the product?
As of now, I didn't find any difficulties because my requirement is fulfilled that I have and If I am facing any difficulty then PRTG support team helps me.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The Latest version of PRTG Dashboard visibility is very clear and easy to monitor the sensors UP/Down status.
Lot of features are there to solve with PRTG are to monitor the bandwidth utilization, Network/Server uptime status by using SNMP System Uptime sensor.
I would like to say honestly, This PRTG Network Monitor helps me a lot. I am the only person to handle L1/L2/L3 in my company. I have 16 branches which was not easy to monitor the network. Then I started PRTG free monitoring tools, which was feel very easier to monitor networks. I recommended to my manager that I need license version of PRTG Network Monitor. Now, I am using license version.

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
What do you like best about the product?
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.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I am not sure how much it costs for this software as it was already implemented when I started working, but I am sure they will provide a free trial.
