Keep your network firing on all cylinders with PRTG’s Microsoft server monitoring tool
Microsoft is the enterprise network's engine.
It provides core functionality such as Active Directory services, Exchange mail servers, and SQL servers, enables virtualization and cloud integration, supports mission-critical applications like IIS and SharePoint, and has built-in security, integration, and management features.
With so much riding on it, you can't afford not to keep a close eye on it. And, with Paessler PRTG, you can carry out thorough server performance monitoring, without having to remember manually checking the stats.
Our all-in-one network monitoring tool has preconfigured sensors designed specifically for monitoring CPU, RAM, virtual machines, and other key components of Microsoft-built software and hardware.
But, best of all, you can set it and forget it. Once it's up and running, it will track all your key health stats round the clock, alert you if something doesn't look right, so you can fix it straight away. and even restart critical services automatically if they've been stopped.
PRTG makes Microsoft server monitoring as easy as it gets
Custom alerts and data visualization let you quickly identify and prevent bottlenecks, Active Directory issues, low memory, and other causes of poor server performance.
