Custom alerts and data visualization let you quickly identify and prevent IT problems.
You think you need an IT monitoring tool. But for modern IT infrastructure, with multitudes of vendors and protocols, you need much more than what individual infrastructure monitoring tools can provide. That’s where Paessler PRTG monitoring software comes in. It’s not just an IT monitoring tool; it’s a fully-fledged, all-in-one network monitoring solution.
You need a server monitoring tool. Probably a bandwidth monitoring tool, too. Also a cloud monitoring tool. And definitely an anomaly detection tool. So many tools are impossible to manage.
But with PRTG, you get all of these and more in a unified monitoring solution. It’s like having a monitoring multi-tool at your fingertips – all in a single pane of glass.
IT monitoring requires metrics. Storage space, CPU load, memory usage, response time, downtime, device temperature, power supply status…
PRTG gives you countless options to obtain the data you need from a wide range of network devices and systems, without vendor lock-in.
PRTG excels at monitoring in real-time – which means that you have a view of what is happening anywhere in your IT infrastructure at any given moment.
Whether it is the current status of specific devices or an aggregated summary of entire areas, you get the latest real-time insights possible.
Define which events trigger notifications by setting individual warning and error thresholds in PRTG, and get alerted immediately when issues and outages occur – or even before they do.
With flexible notification options like push notifications, SMS messages and emails, you stay updated wherever you are, at any time.
Diagnose network issues by continuously tracking IT performance monitoring parameters. Show uptime, hardware health, application performance, bandwidth, network traffic, and other key metrics in real time. Visualize monitoring data in clear graphs and dashboards to identify problems more easily. Gain the overview you need to troubleshoot all kinds of performance issues.

An IT monitoring tool is software that helps you understand the status and performance of elements in your network infrastructure. Monitoring tools like Paessler PRTG utilize common IT protocols (like SNMP, WMI, SSH, MQTT, OPC UA, and so on), APIs, and more to access metrics of devices, applications, and systems.
Good monitoring tools also have functionality to alert you when problems occur, and to visualize monitoring data in dashboards. IT monitoring tools can either be implemented on-premises or hosted in the cloud as an SaaS solution.
IT infrastructures are multi-layered and contain network components and hardware, as well as software applications and operating systems. IT environments usually contain the following:
In the very broadest sense of the word “tool”, yes. But PRTG is much more than that. Think of it as having dozens of built-in IT monitoring tool integrations that help you monitor everything in your infrastructure.
With comprehensive support for common IT protocols and methods, PRTG can monitor just about anything in your infrastructure. Using both out-of-the-box functionality and customizable sensors, you can monitor device uptime, network bandwidth usage, cloud services like AWS and Azure, data center energy efficiency, application performance, backups, databases, IIoT, network performance, QoS, virtual machines…the list goes on and on.
PRTG is an agentless monitoring system that collects data from hardware, software, virtualized environments and cloud services using sensors. A local probe receives monitoring metrics and data from the infrastructure and makes it available to the monitoring client. Further environments can be monitored by installing remote probes.
In PRTG, “sensors” are the basic monitoring elements. One sensor usually monitors one measured value in your network, for example the traffic of a switch port, the CPU load of a server, or the free space on a disk drive. On average, you need about 5-10 sensors per device or one sensor per switch port.
Paessler conducted trials in over 600 IT departments worldwide to tune its network monitoring software closer to the needs of sysadmins. The result of the survey: over 95% of the participants would recommend PRTG – or already have.
Paessler PRTG is used by companies of all sizes. Sysadmins love PRTG because it makes their job a whole lot easier.
Bandwidth, servers, virtual environments, websites, VoIP services – PRTG keeps an eye on your entire network.
