Why is PRTG all-in-one monitoring better than individual tools?
Drawbacks of individual monitoring tools
Many companies with large, complex IT environments use a combination of individual tools to monitor hardware like routers, servers, and switches as well as applications, cloud solutions, traffic, and network performance.
The drawbacks:
- Many tools only work with certain manufacturers
- Frustrating learning curve for monitoring teams
- Errors and malfunctions often detected too late
- Problems resolved only with the help of an individual tool
Advantages of PRTG all-in-one network monitoring software
Other companies simplify by using Enterprise Network Availability Monitoring Systems (ENAMSs), or enterprise network monitoring software like PRTG Enterprise Monitor. These are comprehensive, centralized network monitoring tools.
The advantages:
Create innovative solutions with Paessler’s partners
Partnering with innovative vendors, Paessler unleashes synergies to create
new and additional benefits for joined customers.

Monitor enterprise networks: FAQ
What does “enterprise network” mean?
An "enterprise network" refers to the complex and integrated network infrastructure of a large organization or corporation. It is designed to make communication, data transfer, and resource sharing across different departments and geographical locations easier. Enterprise networks encompass a variety of technologies, protocols, and devices to ensure efficient and secure connectivity within the enterprise.
What is enterprise network monitoring?
Enterprise network monitoring refers to the process of continuously observing and analyzing the various components and performance metrics of an organization's large network infrastructure. The goal is to ensure the network's optimal performance, security, and reliability. This involves using specialized software and enterprise network monitoring tools such as PRTG to track the health, status, and activity of network devices, applications, and services.
How does PRTG monitor enterprise networks?
Paessler PRTG is a comprehensive network monitoring tool used by enterprises to ensure the optimal performance and security of their network infrastructure. Here’s how PRTG monitors enterprise networks:
- Sensor-based monitoring: PRTG uses a variety of sensors to monitor different aspects of the network. A sensor is the basic monitoring element, and PRTG offers over 250 different types of sensors to monitor various metrics such as bandwidth, CPU usage, memory usage, disk usage, and more.
- Real-time data collection: PRTG continuously collects data from network devices and systems in real-time. It gathers information using standard protocols like SNMP, WMI, NetFlow, sFlow, jFlow, packet sniffing, HTTP, SSH, and more.
- Alerting and notifications: PRTG provides customizable alerts and notifications. Administrators can set threshold values for various metrics, and PRTG will notify them via email, SMS, push notifications, or other methods when these thresholds are breached.
- Dashboards and visualization: PRTG offers customizable dashboards that provide a visual representation of the network’s status and performance. These dashboards can display real-time data and historical trends using graphs, maps, and tables.
- Reporting: PRTG generates detailed reports on network performance, usage, and incidents. These reports can be scheduled or generated on-demand, providing valuable insights for network management and planning.
- Distributed monitoring: For large enterprises with multiple locations, PRTG offers remote probes. These probes can be deployed at different sites to monitor local networks and report back to a central PRTG server, providing a comprehensive view of the entire network.
Does PRTG offer flexible scaling?
Yes, of course. PRTG can scale to monitor large enterprise networks with thousands of sensors, making it suitable for organizations of all sizes.
What is a sensor in PRTG?
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.
PRTG: The multi-tool for sysadmins
Adapt PRTG individually and dynamically to your needs and rely on a strong API:- HTTP API: Access monitoring data and manipulate monitoring objects via HTTP requests
- Custom sensors: Create your own PRTG sensors for customized monitoring
- Custom notifications: Create your own notifications and send action triggers to external systems
- REST Custom sensor: Monitor almost everything that provides data in XML or JSON format
