PRTG network administrator tool: What you’ll find on this page
Higher performance starts with better visibility
You wouldn't speed across the highway at 100 miles an hour with your eyes closed. Or parachute into the middle of the desert without a map and a compass (well, unless you're Bear Gryllis).
And you can't optimize your network's performance unless you know exactly what's going on with all its moving parts…
Flexible, intuitive, and easy-to-use, our network monitoring tool Paessler PRTG monitors unlimited local, remote, and virtual network devices round the clock and puts critical system data at your fingertips.
That means it's easier to troubleshoot issues, fix bottlenecks and other performance problems… and plan for your organization's future IT infrastructure needs with both eyes wide open.
PRTG makes network administration as easy as it gets
Custom alerts and data visualization let you quickly identify and prevent low availability, slow connection speeds, overloaded servers and CPUs, and other network performance problems.
4 reasons why to choose PRTG as your network administrator tool
Simple setup
We could tell you it's as easy as 1,2,3… but setting up PRTG doesn't even involve that many steps. Our auto-discovery adds every available network component and assigns the right sensor. Once that's done, you can adjust the configuration and tailor your monitoring environment to suit.
Automatic alerts
Set it and forget it. Once you've chosen your preferred warning and error thresholds, PRTG will keep an eye on things while you carry on with your day, alerting you the second there's a risk of issues via SMS, email, in-app push notification, and other methods, so you can troubleshoot and fix them fast.
All-in-one monitoring
Keep a close eye on every variable that could impact your network's performance. From high-level health stats to more granular details like how much network traffic is flowing and where, PRTG ensures you always know exactly what's going on, even when you're extra-busy.
Proactive planning
Make sure your infrastructure keeps up with your organization's needs. PRTG gives you pinpoint-accurate data on your network's health over time, making it easier to spot where you're under or over-resourced, and replace aging hardware before it stops working.
