What does your organization’s network look like?

Do you know how many workstations, laptops, routers, mobile devices, and other hardware assets, software solutions, and other components and endpoints are connected to your network?

It’s not a rhetorical question.

IT inventory management is critically important. How can you make sure your network is performing optimally, and that it’s secure, let alone carry out prompt and effective troubleshooting, when you don’t even know what’s connected to your network and who’s using it?

Paessler PRTG’s IT asset management maps out your entire network in minutes.

You’ll have a crystal clear idea of what’s connected to your network and the condition it’s in. And, with comprehensive inventory data at your fingertips, your service desk will have an easier time solving issues, optimizing performance, and planning ahead so your network is always well-placed to meet your colleagues’ and customers’ needs.

 

PRTG makes hardware inventory management as easy as it gets

Custom alerts and data visualization let you quickly identify and prevent hardware failures, data loss, and security vulnerabilities.

 

 

 

 

 

 

4 reasons to choose PRTG as your computer inventory management tool

Effortless setup

Install PRTG, key in your preferred IP address range, and you're good to go. The automatic network discovery automatically creates a comprehensive IT inventory.

Better still, it assigns the right monitoring sensors, so you can start tracking all your network devices and other key metrics straight away.

 

End-to-end visibility

A complete, clear view of laptops, routers, and other hardware assets, software solutions, upgrades, and other components, plus all your data in one place.

With PRTG, you won’t have to switch between multiple environments, which means more effective IT inventory management.

 

Faster troubleshooting

Prevent data loss, underperformance, crashes, and other disruptions, before they, well, disrupt your organization.

Pick your preferred performance thresholds, and you'll get notified as soon as anything looks like it might put your network at risk.

 

Early warning system

No more security loopholes. PRTG monitors every aspect of your network around the clock – 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Problems with firewalls are detected immediately. And in the event of an incident (e.g., a malware attack related to a sudden spike in bandwidth), PRTG automatically notifies you at once.
