# Which all-in-one hardware monitoring dashboard works best for a small IT team tracking servers and workstations without needing a separate tool for each device type?

<p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">Hello G2, I’m researching which all-in-one hardware monitoring dashboard works best for a small IT team tracking servers and workstations without needing a separate tool for each device type. PRTG, Checkmk, and Pandora FMS surfaced most often, though each takes a different approach to unified visibility.</p><p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">The<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/categories/hardware-monitoring"> </a><a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/categories/hardware-monitoring">hardware monitoring</a> category includes several platforms that can replace a patchwork of smaller tools.</p><ol>

If you want one tool that actually covers both servers and workstations without feeling like workstations were an afterthought, it&#39;s worth testing how agent deployment works before you commit. Some platforms are great for servers but the workstation agent rollout is tedious or requires a separate process. Try deploying to 10 endpoints first and see how painful it is before you go all in.
