PRTG is a network monitoring tool that helps you to ensure that your computer systems are running smoothly and that no outages occur.
Network monitoring is also important to increase the efficiency of your network by knowing bandwidth and resource consumption.
With over 300,000 active installations, PRTG Network Monitor is Paessler’s powerful and widely used network monitoring software.
We spoke to Paessler’s Martin Hodgson, Country Manager for UK, and Ireland to see how Paessler’s network monitoring software will help you optimise your network infrastructure.
Tell us about PRTG Network Monitor?
PRTG Network Monitor is our software product that monitors all aspects of IT. It ensures all components are accessible, available, and performing as you’d expect. PRTG “simplifies” the day for our IT admins.
What are the significant benefits of using PRTG Network Monitor?
Monitor Everything
All PRTG licenses allow you to use all of our monitoring capabilities, from a straightforward “Ping”, through SNMP (a standard for monitoring most IT hardware), Hypervisors, Operating Systems, Applications and cloud – and to reiterate – it’s not just about Networks !
Smart and Easy
Our customers tell us the reason they use PRTG is because it’s easier than similar products. We consider this to be a good thing! Even the resources needed for PRTG are built in, so the install time is minutes, not days!
Do we have Agents?
We Don’t! – there’s no need to install any software on the monitored systems, just use an appropriate sensor for it.
Will it tell me when I have a problem?
Absolutely – and you can choose the notification method, from an email, to a Teams message, and lots of other methods too… We hope to give Admins a chance to fix problems before users realise.
How is it licensed?
Simply, the more monitoring you want to do, the more you pay – we use “Sensors” as a measure of this and encourage prospective customers to run a trial to calculate how many they need.
