Avoid these three dangerous Exchange scenarios with PRTG
The consequences of Exchange Server malfunctions are significant. As an administrator, the responsibility for maintaining business continuity and data security rests on your shoulders.
Avoid Exchange delays
When email traffic slows down (even a little), it usually doesn't take more than a few minutes for the complaints to start rolling in.
Paessler PRTG informs you in time, even in case of unusual behavior of your Exchange Server.
Prevent Exchange malfunctions
PRTG helps you prevent Exchange Server crashes. Through comprehensive monitoring of all relevant components such as databases, web services, event logs, or management shell, you have everything under control.
Stop data loss
Cases of data loss often correlate with significant risks and financial losses. PRTG not only monitors the operability and performance of your email server, but also whether scheduled backups were done successfully.

How PRTG helps if your Exchange Server is unavailable
Exchange services are down - what do I do?
How can I receive an alert email if my Exchange Server is down? This is a question many administrators have when they use PRTG for the first time.
The answer: Set up a fallback notification solution
PRTG offers a variety of customizable notification methods. In addition to email notifications, alternatives such as SMS, Teams messages or push notifications are available.
For your most important network components, we recommend that you use at least two different notification methods. This way, you can be sure that you’ll always be notified if there are downtimes to be able to react accordingly.

Choose your Exchange monitor: Essential or comprehensive monitoring?
Exchange Servers are one of the backbones of any network – any disruption in their functionality results in a flood of complaints to technical support. This is why you might find yourself go to great lengths to ensure that your Exchange Server runs smoothly and efficiently. But what is the best way to monitor Exchange Server performance?
Free tools and script
There are a number of free PowerShell scripts on the internet that retrieve data and email it to the administrator who requested it. This request on demand can help with specific Exchange monitoring issues. It does not, however, provide you with continuous and comprehensive monitoring of your Exchange Server environment.
Proprietary software PRTG
If you are looking for a top-notch monitoring solution that offers you real-time monitoring of not only your Exchange Server, but also your entire IT infrastructure, PRTG is the solution to go to.
