"See all your networking and their state in one single view"
What do you like best about Paessler PRTG?

We run about 5 to 6 PRTG servers in our organisation, which significantly helps watch all our networking and their state in a single 'Devices' page on each server. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Paessler PRTG?

The only thing I disliked, which I recently discovered, was the sound notification of alerts with an annoying sound and no customisation of choosing different sound notifications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Solid NMS Solution"
What do you like best about Paessler PRTG?

One of the best Network monitoring tools available in the market supports most of the devices that one can think of. Very flexible and can do most of the tasks that anyone can wish from a nms like availability, traffic packet loss and many more. Easy and quick setup, easy to use, and very user-friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Paessler PRTG?

Probably the only way it shows interface down alters. It Should have alerts by default for interface down, like in Zabbix or Solar winds. Maps can be improved for better visual understanding. Sensor-based licensing can become expensive for a more extensive network. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"PRTG Monitor - Excellent tool for monitoring network resources"
What do you like best about Paessler PRTG?

PRTG Network Monitor is an excellent and highly customizable tool for monitoring network resources. It allows us to get a better insight into the status of network devices across enterprises. As a result, we can now act proactively and take corrective measures even before problems get reported by the users. Maps can be customizable, and with some imagination, this tool can provide an awe-inspiring representation of the network and all monitored devices. It supports SNMP and variety of custom censors, as well as API integration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Paessler PRTG?

Map creation editor is lacking undo button. In addition, it is also a bit buggy when trying to deploy specific HTML5 code inside the sensor configuration. Sometimes it also does not render or accept custom inserted code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Accurate network monitoring tool for work around infrastructure."
What do you like best about Paessler PRTG?

Most accurate tool for network monitoring.

The ping sensor is the best sensor for connectivity checks.

Bandwidth Monitor, Website Monitoring, Uptime Monitoring, Network Traffic Analyzer and the Ping Monitoring tools are awesome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Paessler PRTG?

Network Map drawings can be done using PRTG, If the sensors don't work properly, the entire network goes down.

Complete control is over the sensors involved in this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is not much that I dislike. The reporting is not so easy to set up. I don't always get it right the first time. Of all the network monitor tools that I tested or used PRTG had the least problems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
