# Is anyone else stuck juggling old vs new UI, desktop, and mobile because none of them fully cover daily needs? Day to day, I feel like I am constantly switching between different PRTG views. The web UI is powerful but feels dated and can slow down on larger dashboards. The desktop client is less useful, so I mostly avoid it, and the mobile app is fine for quick checks but not great for real administration. On top of that, the newer interface still lacks some features from the old one, so I keep both at hand. During busy days or incidents, this juggling act adds friction when I just want a single place to work from. Are others also bouncing between the old UI, new UI, desktop client, and mobile app to get things done, and how do you organize your workflow so this mix does not slow you down? ##### Post Metadata

# Do others struggle with PRTG’s reporting and dashboards being too technical for managers? When I share PRTG reports or dashboards with non‑technical stakeholders, I often see confusion instead of clarity. The built‑in reporting feels quite technical, and making it more readable for management usually means exporting to Excel or manually tweaking layouts. The same goes for some dashboards, which can feel cluttered or dated when I try to turn them into a simple health view for leadership. It creates extra work before every review meeting, and sometimes I skip useful details just to avoid a long explanation. Have you found a practical way to make PRTG’s reports and dashboards easier for managers to understand without spending a lot of time re‑formatting everything? ##### Post Metadata

# Has anyone else found the learning curve for custom sensors and reports slows real projects? I rely on PRTG for more than basic pings, so I keep running into the need for custom sensors, REST checks, and tailored reports. Each time, I end up buried in documentation and trial‑and‑error scripting just to get a reliable sensor or a manager‑friendly report. It turns what should be a quick improvement into a multi‑day task, and I have to explain delays to stakeholders who assume monitoring tweaks are simple. The tool clearly has the power, but getting to that power feels like a hurdle. For those who are not full‑time scripters, how are you managing the complexity of custom sensors and advanced reporting without stalling projects or overcommitting your time? ##### Post Metadata

# How are you handling PRTG’s sensor‑based licensing before it blows up the budget? As I keep expanding coverage, the sensor‑based licensing is turning into a budgeting puzzle. One “simple” server or device ends up consuming several sensors, and every time I want to add test checks or extra detail, I have to stop and think about license impact. It has led to awkward budget conversations where I am justifying why better visibility means another jump in cost. I feel like I am spending as much time counting sensors as I am improving monitoring. How are you planning and structuring your monitoring so the sensor‑based licensing does not become a surprise line item or a blocker when you want deeper visibility? ##### Post Metadata

# Heavy storage use and slowdowns with lots of sensors directly cut into my monitoring time In my environment, PRTG really shines until I start getting close to “real world” scale. Once I add a large number of sensors and servers, the system feels heavy, the UI slows, and even basic refreshes can hang for a bit. On top of that, the storage footprint grows fast, so I am constantly watching disk space and retention instead of focusing on what the data is telling me. It creates awkward moments where I am waiting on the tool during a live incident, or explaining to management why a health dashboard is lagging when we need it most. I know PRTG can handle serious networks, but this performance and storage overhead has become a daily friction point for me. Is anyone else finding that storage use and performance slowdowns become a real hurdle once your sensor count and server list grow, and how do you cope with that day to day? ##### Post Metadata
