Marvelous
What do you like best about the product?
What I like best about Paessler PRTG is the graph presentation.
What do you dislike about the product?
PRTG can not customize individual dashboards
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Troubleshooting, server health and problem isolation.
Perfect hands-off monitoring system
What do you like best about the product?
It's very easy to get started. Agentless, scans machines for services, etc. Just give it a network name or IP and it will return more monitors than you need. It's crucial for us on a daily basis.
What do you dislike about the product?
They haven't significantly updated the app since we came onboard and pricing as of late has been extremely predatory.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Monitoring servers and services and generating tickets before the end user sees a problem.
A product that has been reliable for years
What do you like best about the product?
We have been using PRTG for over 6 years for successful monitoring of network and other hardware. Hardware from different manufacturers can be easily integrated into PRTG. Changes to probes can be implemented quickly and easily. PRTG regularly informs us about failures and interruptions of components. Due to good documentation on the internet, we have not needed customer support so far.
What do you dislike about the product?
The price for PRTG has recently increased significantly, and PRTG is now only available as a subscription license.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Hardware failures are detected more quickly and problems can be resolved more easily.
Ease of use and maintain
What do you like best about the product?
Once I have configured the sensors I want to monitor for a specific device I can always clone it. What is a very user-friendly task before, it is even more easy since I have learned to use the new API. It provides me with the information I need from sensors covering up to 365 days, making daily analysis easy.
What do you dislike about the product?
The new interface is faster, but it still doesn't have all the features of the old one. So I work with both at the same time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It allows me to monitor a variety of field terminal servers, radio devices, servers, and other network devices. Especially when there are communication issues, it is the first place I go to analyze the sensors I have configured. The maps are also very useful, both in the event of a massive failure and for monitoring devices on a day-to-day basis.
PRTG detects problems before they are noticed by employees.
What do you like best about the product?
PRTG raises an alarm before problems affect our ongoing operations. This helps to avoid outages, shorten response times, and use IT resources more efficiently.
By centrally monitoring network devices, servers, services, and applications, outages can be avoided and response times significantly reduced.
The setup is easy and quick thanks to auto-discovery sensors!
We use the solution at multiple locations and are extremely satisfied!
Customer support has always been able to help so far and is quickly reachable for all questions.

What do you dislike about the product?
The least helpful are the internal tickets (we already use a third-party tool here to create tickets based on the email notification from PRTG).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We repeatedly have network problems due to rural locations without their own connection. For this purpose, VPN tunnels have been set up, which are monitored and controlled using PRTG.
PRTG
What do you like best about the product?
PRTG has significantly streamlined our network monitoring processes. With its intuitive dashboard, I can easily track the performance of all our network devices in real-time. This has reduced the time I spend on manual checks and allows me to focus on more strategic tasks.
What do you dislike about the product?
Complexity for Beginners: For those new to network monitoring, the extensive features and options can be overwhelming. It might take some time to fully understand and utilize all the capabilities of PRTG.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Comprehensive Network Monitoring: PRTG offers a unified platform to monitor all network devices, applications, and traffic. This comprehensive visibility helps in quickly identifying and resolving issues, ensuring network reliability and performance.
PRTG offers reliable network monitoring and helpful alerts for managing IT systems
What do you like best about the product?
One of the things I like best about Paessler PRTG is its user-friendly and intuitive interface. The dashboard provides clear, real-time visualizations and allows me to quickly identify issues across the entire network. Setting up sensors is straightforward, and the wide variety of sensor options makes it easy to monitor nearly any device or service. I also appreciate the highly customizable alerting system, which ensures I’m immediately notified of any potential problems. Additionally, PRTG’s scalability means it works equally well for small environments and large, distributed networks. The consistent updates and strong community support further enhance the overall experience.
What do you dislike about the product?
While Paessler PRTG is a powerful and versatile monitoring tool, the licensing model based on the number of sensors can become expensive as the network grows, making it less cost-effective for larger environments. Occasionally, the web interface can feel sluggish when managing a large number of sensors, and customizing dashboards beyond the basics requires more effort than expected. Despite these drawbacks, PRTG remains a strong choice for many monitoring needs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Paessler PRTG helps me quickly detect network issues, prevent downtime, and monitor system performance in real time, which saves time and keeps my IT environment running smoothly

Many possibilities to maintain monitoring
What do you like best about the product?
PRTG is very easy to use, with a straightforward interface for almost everything.
What do you dislike about the product?
PRTG offers a Linux probe option, but it requires additional components (like the NATS server) to connect to the core server, and its sensor options are limited.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
PRTG's customization is impressive, letting us group servers by location or subcompany. This makes monitoring easy to understand, even for those unfamiliar with the system
Reliable Network Monitoring for Growing Infrastructures
What do you like best about the product?
Out-of-the-box monitoring capabilities combined with an intuitive interface, powerful customizable alerts, and automatic network discovery, all backed by scalable licensing and excellent documentation that makes it accessible for both small and large environments.
What do you dislike about the product?
Maintenance support is no longer provided for perpetual licenses, and the shift to a subscription-based model requires a minimum three-year commitment, making it significantly more costly and less flexible for long-term users
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Limited visibility into server resources and network performance by providing real-time monitoring and alerting. This has benefited me by enabling proactive issue detection, reducing downtime, and improving overall system reliability and performance management.
