Custom alerts and data visualization let you quickly identify and prevent network availability and performance issues.
With Paessler PRTG, many customers reduce downtime to 5 minutes or less per year with 99.999% availability of their website, servers, and databases. Here’s a breakdown of the potential impact of PRTG on your business:
*According to a study by Techconsult, one hour of downtime costs medium-sized companies between €20,000 and €40,000, or between $21,000 and $42,000. The companies in the study had an average of four crashes per year, with each crash lasting an average of 3.8 hours. The total costs therefore amount to €320,000 to €640,000 per year (up to $700,000) for medium-sized companies with 200 to 5,000 employees.
The email-server is down, the telephone won't stop ringing. Everyone is calling, although the downtime has lasted for six minutes only. But the stress and short-term work loss are immense. Calculated over the course of a year, this costs a huge amount of money. That's where PRTG comes in: our monitoring software paves the way to high availability.

PRTG comes with more than 250 native sensor types for monitoring your entire on-premises, cloud, and hybrid cloud environment out of the box. Check out some examples below!
The Ping v2 sensor sends an Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) echo request ("ping") from the probe system to the parent device to monitor its availability. It can show the following:
• Response time
• Packet loss
• Target status
• Minimum and maximum ping time
The Cloud Ping v2 sensor monitors the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) ping times to its parent device from different locations worldwide (Asia Pacific: Singapore, Asia Pacific: Sydney, Europe: Ireland, US East: Northern Virginia, US West: Northern California) via the PRTG Cloud. It can show the following:
The SNMP Uptime v2 sensor monitors the uptime of a device. It can show the following:
The Windows System Uptime sensor monitors the uptime of a Windows system via Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) or Windows performance counters. It can show the following:
See the PRTG Manual for a list of all available sensor types.

Availability monitoring is the process of continuously observing and measuring the uptime and performance of a system, network, or service to ensure it remains accessible to users. This involves tracking metrics such as response times, downtime occurrences, and overall reliability. Availability monitoring plays a crucial role in maintaining service level agreements (SLAs) and meeting customer expectations for reliable access to digital resources.
Availability monitoring is important for several reasons:
Yes. PRTG is proprietary monitoring software that can monitor your entire IT infrastructure including network traffic, applications, bandwidth, cloud services, databases, virtual environments, availability & uptime, ports, IP addresses, hardware status, network security, web services, and much more.

With PRTG, setting up a simple failover cluster is quick and easy. Configure one PRTG server on two different computers, each with the same license key. Decide which of your PRTG servers is to be the master node in the cluster, and follow the steps in our how-to guide.
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.
