Tech specs
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 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 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 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 do you like best about the product?
Best for all kind of automation jobs as made work a lot more easier.
What do you dislike about the product?
There nothing negative to point out about this SW .
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.
