Custom alerts and data visualizations make it easy to monitor, identify, and prevent bottlenecks, unplanned downtime, overloaded servers, inefficient resource allocation, and other network performance issues.
Ever found yourself stuck in traffic because somebody decided to hog the passing lane?
Or because a delivery driver thought the middle of the road was a great place to stop and unload?
Bottlenecks, inefficient resource allocation, and other issues can disrupt enterprise networks in much the same way.
And, just as you won't know why you've spent fifteen minutes in a traffic jam until you pass by the offending driver, you can't know the root cause of a network issue if you don't keep a close eye on key infrastructure metrics.
PRTG network load monitoring makes the process quick and painless.
Automated anomaly detection alerts you as soon as something doesn't look quite right. And, with access to both real-time and historical data, it's much easier to get in front of issues and plan ahead.
What can PRTG keep an eye on? Not to put too fine a point on it, but everything. Really. APIs, bandwidth usage, CPU load, network traffic monitoring and traffic data, even application performance and network security. With 250 + preconfigured sensors, every metric imaginable is at your fingertips.
Set it and forget it. Auto Discovery finds every hardware and software component on your network within a given IP address range and assigns the right sensors. Just pick your preferred performance thresholds and PRTG will email, text, or send you an in-app notification on your mobile app in the event of an anomaly. How’s that for a smooth user experience?
No need to install specialized software or fiddle with third-party clients (though you can set it up as an agent-based monitor if needed). PRTG uses a system of remote probes and supports all major monitoring protocols for pinpoint-accurate network performance monitoring that doesn't strain your resources and frustrate end-users.
Start as you mean to go on. PRTG supports unlimited local, remote, and virtual devices. Couple that with our SaaS model and flexible pricing, and our monitoring software works great no matter which stage you're at: a simple and straightforward network or a large system with multiple data centers, distributed infrastructure, and complex load balancing requirements.
Diagnose network issues by continuously monitoring bandwidth usage, CPUs, cloud services, firewalls, RAM, routers, and other network connections. Show server status, response times, packet capture, network traffic patterns, and other key stats in real time and visualize data in graphic maps & dashboards to identify problems more easily. Gain the visibility you need to troubleshoot bottlenecks, latency, unplanned downtime, overloaded servers, inefficient resource allocation, and other network performance issues and security threats.

PRTG is a proprietary monitoring solution that tracks the health and performance of your CPUs, processors, RAM, bandwidth and other key system metrics. Available for Windows-based on-premises servers or as a cloud-hosted solution, it's capable of monitoring unlimited local, remote, and virtual network devices, bringing critical system data together in one simple, intuitive interface you can access from anywhere: at the office, at home, or on the go.
PRTG's sophisticated sensors pull data from the endpoints of any hardware or software within your specified IP address range into a centralized monitoring environment using one of the following protocols:
PRTG's dashboard shows you both real-time and historical data, which means you can make adjustments on the fly and also pick up on any long-term trends.
PRTG is an all-in-one solution, which means it can monitor every network variable imaginable — even CPU temperature (as long as you have access to the right MIB files). That said, it also integrates with other software, including platforms like ScriptRunner and IP Fabric.
Yes, you can. PRTG has preconfigured sensors for Windows, Linux, and UNIX-based systems. You can only install a PRTG core server or probe on Windows. But our desktop app's interface makes connecting to it via Linux quick and easy. Check the system requirements, download the app, and follow the simple prompts to set things up. Alternatively, try our fully Linux-compatible hosted solution.
In PRTG, “sensors” are the basic monitoring elements. One sensor usually monitors one measured value in your network, for example the traffic of a switch port, the CPU load of a server, or the free space on a disk drive. On average, you need about 5-10 sensors per device or one sensor per switch port.
Paessler conducted trials in over 600 IT departments worldwide to tune its network monitoring software closer to the needs of sysadmins. The result of the survey: over 95% of the participants would recommend PRTG – or already have.
Paessler PRTG is used by companies of all sizes. Sysadmins love PRTG because it makes their job a whole lot easier.
Bandwidth, servers, virtual environments, websites, VoIP services – PRTG keeps an eye on your entire network.
Everyone has different monitoring needs. That’s why we let you try PRTG for free.
