Overall Satisfaction with PRTG Network Monitor
PRTG is used by the university IT staff to monitor the network equipment and server across the entire enterprise. We have multiple probes configured to monitor server health and network performance, as well as basic up/down status. This allows us to have insight into possible issues that might arise before they have a chance to be a real issue. PRTG also gives us the alerts we need when equipment does fail or go offline.
Pros
- There are many preconfigured probes to use for all types of network equipment and servers
- Alerts can be customized and configured to alert the right staff for the specific alert
- Graphs make it easy to spot trends for all probes
- Auto-discovery makes adding devices easy
- The mobile app gives you access to the system from anywhere
Cons
- Alerts configuration is a little tricky to fine tune and could be easier. It can be very granular(good), but that adds to the complexity.
- Mobile app could be a little better laid out
- Downtime has been reduced
- Monitoring available disk space enables us to plan and forecast storage needs more effectively
- Monitoring network traffic has alerted us to bottlenecks that we were able to identify and correct
