Works very well, but is to hard
Andreas_ss- Pros
- Try it, you'll really like it and the purpose it serves. Great product for the highly advanced user. I use it together with free EasyNetMonitor.
- Cons
- No negatives that I see
- Summary
Not the best tool for monitoring sites
bobanzer33- Pros
- Quick setup of the software
- Cons
- Too expensive tool It was slow in some operations A couple of times I experienced the problem with deleting remote probe from PRTG console and got the error (Http/1.1 400 Bad Request). Though I was using the newest version of PRTG, they couldn't find the right solution for a week.
- Summary
Crashes all the time on my Win7
gasyoun- Pros
- It's good for testing how bad is my PC.
- Cons
- It's not stable. Does everything else matters at all?
- Summary
- It does the job... in a rather strange way.
Fantastic Monitoring program
Dolpheus- Pros
- -Supports Netflow, so most networking equipment can export data to it(e.g.: Cisco, MicroTik, Vyatta, HP, pfSense) -Brings real-time network health and monitoring (even including CPU/RAM/Disk usage on servers) into the price range of small offices -It's an enterprise solution that scales very well -Super easy to use and create reports on -Even monitors uptime if you need proof of uptime If you haven't tried this out, I definitely recommend it. It has a super simple set-up, offers password and https protection for the web GUI, and is very intuitive, plus it's free to try on 10 sensors.
- Cons
- The only (and I mean ONLY) complaint I have is that there's not a purchase price for a certain number of sensors withOUT support. They only offer packages with a maintenance program, and some of my clients are happy without the maintenance part.
- Summary
- Overall, it's a FANTASTIC product! We use it at my company, and we recommend it to all of our clients. 10/10 would recommend.
Wonderful Features Wonderful Price free upto 10 sensors
DarthVetter- Pros
- Easy To use, Lots of automation features, FULL FEATURED 10 Sensors for the free version, VERY LOW overhead of memory on machines. Runs great on Physical/Virtual HIGHLY stable ! Great idea of sensor settings inheritance by group. I use this at work and at home !
- Cons
- None.. Unless you consider being awesome a con.. then your a hipster.
- Summary
- Dood.. Shutup and download it. Its worth it !
Works great. Love the mobile apps
wiseman13- Pros
- Allows us to monitor our entire backend infrastructure. It might take a bit, but it is flexible enough to monitor any process or stat we have thrown at it.
- Cons
- It can be cumbersome to setup, but all tools like this are.
- Summary
- Constant updates. Actively supported web and mobile application interfaces. I am always seeing new and exciting features added. Keep up the good work.<br /><br /><span class='notifyMsg'> Updated </span>on Nov 21, 2013<p/>I have found the PRTG team very helpful. You should contact them and I bet they would help you with your issues.
It has become the best tool I have available
ralliredgts- Pros
- The easiest interface I've used for network monitoring. I have a 40" LCD rotating maps in my office, as well as a system wide starburst map on my computer at all times. The apps for smartphone and tablet put it in a field of its own. I can monitor everything from my tablet.
- Cons
- initial setup can be taxing, but that's no fault of the software. Map creation is odd at first, but when it clicks, it's natural.
- Summary
- This has become the most important resource I have. The foresight and power it gives you as a network admin are priceless. It has shifted how our department works. We went from reactive to proactive, and it has enhanced our position with the company and user base.
A must for network admins!
jjkingsbury- Pros
- PRTG is a must if you want to be proactive with your network. Without network monitoring/paging capabilities, we would be stuck with our clients informing us of slowness/issues.. Hardware doesn't last forever, so it's important to get notified prior/during a failure, and PRTG does the job.
- Cons
- Agreed with the last comment.. There's many sensors and I found myself "overdoing it". I cut back on unnecessary sensors that way I can monitor what's really important.
- Summary
- Don't listen to PC_Hamster's review, clearly he/she doesn't have any experience in setting up PRTG. If the installer crashes that persons PC, then there's something wrong with PC. Been a PRTG customer for years and I'm very pleased.
PRTG serves a major role in our core business
FrederikG- Pros
- Agentless Flexibility Web based interface Granular configuration of sensors Continuous updates with extra features and improvements
- Cons
- One might get tempted to "over-monitor" ones network at first because of the countless number of possibilities.
- Summary
- We have been using PRTG for the past three or four years to offer our customers 24/7 monitoring of their networks, some of which are dispersed all over the globe. PRTG comes with a vast array of default sensors for monitoring all sorts of things from system health status and resource usage to services and database performance. Nonetheless it also offers the flexibility of adding your own custom sensors (the creation of which has become one of our proficiencies).
clean interface; nicely organized... amazing tool
alfrules- Pros
- see whats going on at a glance with monitoring to alert you to situations before your end users complain.
- Cons
- takes a while to setup all SNMP objects as you'd like; but thats hardly PRTG's fault
- Summary
- a tool I need for daily operations... ease of use and iphone app make this truly a gem
