PRODUCT OVERVIEW

For effective network monitoring, you need a golden source of truth

Because enterprise networks have many moving parts, IT infrastructure monitoring can get complicated: multiple network monitoring tools, manual configuration management, siloed data... and that’s before you take the system’s scalability into account.

Staying on top of everything can throw even the most seasoned IT teams for a loop.

PRTG’s network monitoring software centralizes everything, tracking key metrics round the clock and bringing together all your data in one place. That means it’s easier to stay on top of network health. Which means greater reliability, more uptime, stronger network security... and happier colleagues and higher-ups.

What network monitoring service looks like in PRTG

Diagnose network issues by continuously tracking applications, firewalls, cloud services, routers, virtual machines, APIs, and other hardware components and endpoints across your network. Show data transfer speeds, connectivity, response times, and other key performance metrics in real time. Visualize monitoring data in clear graphs and dashboards to identify problems more easily. Gain the overview you need to troubleshoot bottlenecks, underperformance, and other network problems.

Now, however, thanks to the comprehensive dashboard and real-time notifications, we receive constant updates on the status of facilities and services, and our way of working has gone from passive to proactive.”

Network Monitoring Service: FAQ

 

What is a network monitoring service?

A network monitoring service lets you keep a close eye on your network and make sure it is always available and running properly. Potential sources of errors and malfunctions are detected proactively. If a problem occurs, admins can quickly find the cause and take action at once. But that’s not all: as a network management solution, a network monitoring service helps administrators to optimize the use of their resources and their corporate network.

What should I look for in a network monitoring service?

In particular, a network monitoring service should include the following key features:

  • Be thorough and also keep a constant eye on details
  • Run day and night without interruptions
  • Allow for the definition of customizable threshold values to prevent incidents
  • Allow for the prompt detection of anomalies
What is PRTG network monitoring service?

PRTG is a proprietary monitoring solution that tracks the health and performance of your entire network, helping you maximize availability, stability, and reliability. Available for Windows-based on-premises servers or as a cloud-hosted SaaS solution, it's capable of monitoring unlimited local, remote, and virtual network devices, bringing critical system data together in one simple, intuitive interface you can access from anywhere: at the office, at home, or on the go.

I’m a Managed Services Provider. Can I use PRTG to monitor my clients’ networks?

Yes. PRTG’s system of remote probes enable it to monitor any device, even if it’s located 1000 miles away. This makes it ideal for organizations that have distributed IT infrastructure and MSPs. Our network monitoring solution is also multi-tenant, meaning both you and your clients can access the monitoring environment. And, with our stringent security standards and robust rights management, both you and your clients can rest assured your data is safe at all times.

What is a sensor in PRTG?

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.

We asked: would you recommend PRTG? Over 95% of our customers say yes!

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.
