Likelihood to Recommend

PRTG is ideal for monitoring bandwidth usage, detecting device failures, or spotting slow network segments in real-time. For example, it alerted us instantly when a critical router failed, allowing rapid response.
However, it’s less suited for very large-scale environments without proper segmentation, as performance can degrade with too many sensors.
