Overall Satisfaction with PRTG Network Monitor
PRTG Network Monitor is used by my organization to monitor network uptime and downtime of deployed infrastructures including Local Area Networks (LAN), Wide Area Networks (WAN), servers, websites, applications, enterprise servers, SaaS deployments, PaaS deployment, and IaaS deployments. Another important offering of PRTG to my organization is the PRTG alerts. This feature has helped us discover warnings and unusual metrics by enabling us to write our own notification scripts by using PRTG advance API.
- Accurate bandwidth monitoring
- Easy to use monitoring capability
- Powerful API integrations
- While PRTG allows you to create maps of your network, it doesn't seem to automatically link devices together.
- Some functionality in the Enterprise Console redirects you to the web console.
- Sensor allocations can get used up quickly.
- Provides an effective means for threat intelligence
- Reduced overall cost on network security monitoring
- Increase in customer satisfaction rating
PRTG Network Monitor runs on a Windows machine within our network, collecting various statistics from the machines, software, and devices which we designate. PRTG comes with an easy-to-use web interface with point-and-click configuration. We can easily share data from it with non-technical colleagues and customers, including via live graphs and custom reports. This has enabled us plan for network expansion, see what applications are using most of our connection, and make sure that no one is hogging the entire network just to torrent videos.
