PRTG

Recently we have used PRTG Network Monitor to monitor our customers' data centers, we are using around 30,000 sensors in PRTG Network Monitor and the performance is quite good. We are having some problems with the memory consumption of the application, but with some housekeeping, we are having one of the best experiences that a monitoring app can offer.

We utilize PRTG in the IT department to monitor network devices, servers, and services locally and remotely. PRTG provides real-time information about our system's health by alerting my team when something goes down/offline. I have PRTG Maps displayed on TVs throughout our department so other departments and employees see the status of our infrastructure.

This product is a key part of our overall systems monitoring, environmental monitoring, and logging. We use this system to act like a 24x7 on-call systems in trouble alerting mechanism for our internal group as well as notifying other business units of systems they rely on. Utilizing ICMP, SNMP, WMI as well as segmentation for other networks to mitigate against numerous holes in firewalls to allow for numerous system monitoring the product performs as expected and at times overperforms.

PRTG is being used to monitor a number of different IT technologies mainly in the infrastructure realm. There are several key uses:

• Device monitoring (Security, network, telephony, servers, power)
• Device troubleshooting (monitoring statistics of problematic device which could be any network connected device) over time to determine a baseline and solve problems
• Reporting on network utilization for capacity planning
• Netflow reporting for external connections

There are various problems the tool addresses - both proactive and reactive use cases. It provides baselines, verification reporting and ability to alert to issues present. We use various technologies for alerting, from Teams messaging, to emails to direct incident creation in ITSM software.

We use Paessler's PRTG Network Monitor IT operation monitoring. This is used throughout the organization.

We needed a more robust monitoring tool that was capable of delivering more in-depth monitoring of our network devices and other end-user nodes as needed. We had previously set up SNMP on most devices, but the previous free tool had limited reporting.

I was also looking for per-interface traffic stats on my Cisco inventory.

PRTG software is being used as the network, servers and appliances fault and performance monitoring, event-based alerting, and network traffic flow analysis. Primarily PRTG was deployed for network monitoring, alerting, and reporting. It provides near to real-time monitoring data and supports the Network team to support their operations SLA.

We use PRTG Network Monitor to monitor and alert all LAN, WAN, VPN, and website-related load balancers, switches, routers & firewalls for connectivity, latency, and throughput. It is being used mainly by 1 team/department. It addresses the problems of having high-level as well as finely-granular views in one pane including historical & trending of network throughput and usage, and proactive issue alerting.

PRTG is used only by the R&D department in our organization. We're using it to monitor some of our services and databases, but not all of them. It helps us understand if something major "got broken" with our product and if there are servers or databases which are completely unavailable or unstable.

[PRTG] Network Monitor system is used as our primary network monitoring solution for monitoring critical business application servers as well as production servers. I had implemented this solution in PSMCL long time ago when I joined, since [then] I have deployed the solution on multiple times. [It's] very simple to deploy, maintain and manage. The auto discovery function along with sensor recommendation works well with minimal configuration. The best thing is that for smaller environments it has 100 sensors for lifetime. That is one more reason I deploy free version on smaller environment for trial then user decides to keep it or not.

The software is used by our IT Department. We monitor all of our network devices to check our availability. The second goal is to notice failures or blackouts before the user informs us, so we can react and resolve issues without notice by the users. One big advantage of PRTG is monitoring automated processes. We don't need to check them on our own. PRTG will send us notifications if any errors occur.

My Organization is belongs to Automotive factor, so in Production area we need smooth Network with zero DownTime.
Before PRTG we used multiple solutions but we faced lot of issues in Network, therefore we study and deploy this solution in our organization and now we monitor whole network in a glance and rectify issue As quick as possible.

PRTG is used as a light weight Network Monitoring Solution for our customers where team just want to have a visibility on Network Fault and Performance Data along with Syslog and Traps with Netflow Data analysis. PRTG also offer notifications and integration options for ticketing and alerting command center tea and hence PRTG is helping us out for end to end network monitoring

PRTG Network Monitor is primarily being used by the IT department, however, the electrical department will also receive notifications for some device down notifications. We primarily use it for the notification functionality but also use the dashboard for some things. We work on a large construction site and have multiple locations - it's critical to respond to outages ASAP as they will have a negative effect on the business.

PRTG is basically a network monitoring solution. It is being used by the whole organization and most of our clients too. When compared with other solutions like SolarWinds in terms of network monitoring, it is far better in many ways. It is budget friendly where you have unlimited licensing XL1 which is one of the best solutions for big enterprise solutions. When it comes to monitoring, auto-discovery of all the nodes, devices, networks using wmi or snmp easily can be done. GUI is easily understandable.

We use PRTG for real-time monitoring of all the servers across our various environments. It is, among other tools, a critical part of our infrastructure and alerts us almost instantly when a parameter has exceeded the specified ranges that we have setup. It is a very flexible tool and I have been extremely impressed with it overall.

We monitor all production servers, network appliances and services on each. Currently utilizing over 600 of 100 sensors, and used as our early defense mechanism for any health issues or down devices. Easy way to get a baseline of resources, and look back at historical data to track trends or look at disk consumption, etc.

We use PRTG to monitor our entire IT infrastructure, applications, and websites. It is a critical part of our operational strategy to monitor system availability and performance. We use it to pro-actively tell IT staff of a current problem or even a potential problem so we find out in most cases before customers report the problem. I would say the pro-active component is most valuable.

PRTG Network Monitor is being used by our organization to monitor the health of all of our servers as well as ISP's. It is also being used to monitor the health of all of our clients servers and ISP's. We also use it to provide reporting on server and netwok usage.

We use PRTG Network Monitor across our IT infrastructure to monitor uptime, availability, Windows service status, and various other relevant items. PRTG Network Monitor gives us the ability to tailor monitoring to the individual system and offers a lot of flexibility in configuration. It has a Maps feature that enabled us to design a custom four-display NOC that IT technicians can use to monitor infrastructure health at a glance. One great use case is for player kiosks on the casino game floor. With PRTG Network Monitor, we can get down to the kiosk and have it running long before guests encounter it, report it to staff, and it makes its way to IT for resolution. The same applies to other task-based machines and endpoints that are customer-facing. With configurable email alerts and a heads-up display, IT staff can be far more proactive in our ability to provide a best in class guest experience. This is critical because you only get one chance to make an excellent first impression.

Current use is within our infrastructure group. I am a networking engineer and am always looking for a better way to monitor net-flow, SLA and SNMP information. Current use has been net-flow traffic out of several of our locations where we have had bandwidth issues. We've been able to tell who the big users are, times, etc., basically what you get from net-flow. The benefit has been the graphical interface that PRTG presents the information.

We use PRTG Network Monitor as a central monitoring platform for our 4 corporate sites (including Amazon AWS) as well as all of our customer locations (around 10 sites) that are spread across the USA. It's our primary monitoring tool for our entire organization. It does SNMP monitoring well and it makes remote support (an essential part of our business model) of all of our sites possible will alerts that get sent to whoever needs to be notified when something happens.

It is used mainly by the network team but is also known to be used by a certain server team, to monitor up/down status of various network devices as well as circuit utilization and other vital stats on the devices.

We use PRTG to monitor a fairly large, complex and multi-site network. Monitoring in the region of 4000 sensors over a few hundred servers, network devices, printers, CCTV, Wi-Fi APs, web hosts, etc.
The biggest problem we used to have was that we had several monitoring systems managed by different departments around the business. With the introduction of PRTG, we have been able to consolidate these systems into PRTG and manage it centrally.
PRTG gives us a really good visual overview of all the relevant things we need to monitor to meet customer SLA's and we find that with the help of the email alerts and a visual map on a large screen in the office, we can keep on top of any issues.

We use PRTG Network Monitor in the Infrastructure Department to monitor our network gear, as well as view Netflow information from switches. It also is used for out-of-band monitoring of externally-available applications and websites.

PRTG is a very useful monitoring tool, special for windows systems that are used for our internal infrastructure (also Unix Systems). You can use easy pre configured sensors or create your own sensor. In the beginning the creation of own sensor is a little bit tricky. You have to understand it first completely before you can create one. But the standard sensor cover already a lot. You can find a lot of useful things in the kb from paessler.
