We have been using it for over 15 years and it has reliably reported metrics and alerts. The fact they still provide a free version for smaller networks is great.
Pros: It's ease of you and ability to support almost any network device. Lots of customisation to suit most devices. The alerting feature is the standard for network monitoring.
Cons: It can look a bit dated at times and miss the flashy, impressiveness of Grafana. It also could do with supporting the big cloud providers more like Azure.

Pros: Easy to use, does exactly what we want in terms of showing network event alerts as soon as they happen, allowing us to react without a steep learning curve. The customization for network maps and the likes seem very limited but otherwise a great product.
Cons: The licensing structure recently changed to a subscription based one that we can no longer afford, or at least made us look at similar alternatives that offer more features for the same price point.

Pros: I was only testing this tool, it surprised me with the amount of sensors I could set up. Free sensors can get you test this tool before buying.
Cons: Unfortunately free versions supports only 100 sensors. It was not intuitive to set them up. I had to use a lot of time to learn it.
Michal K. · IT Engineer · Education Management · January 17, 2026
It does exactly what we need. Provides dashboards and monitoring for our core systems. There is a lot of customization available.
Pros: Great dashboards that helps teams monitor alerts and security. A huge amount is ready out of the tin.
Cons: If you require anything not ready and provided then you will need to spend a lot of time learning and playing with the system.
Stephen G. · IT Manager · Utilities · December 18, 2025
Overall, PRTG has been a solid addition to our monitoring stack. It does what it promises gives us visibility into our network and infrastructure with reliable alerting. We've been using it for about 2 years now, and while it has some rough edges on the UI side and the costs add up, it's become an essential tool for our ops team.
Pros: The real game changer for me has been the intuitive dashboard. I can spot network issues at a glance without drowning in data. What I appreciate most is how easy it was to set up monitoring for our infrastructure without needing a PhD in networking. The alerting system is solid too; we actually get notified when something matters, not constant false alarms.
Cons: The licensing model can get expensive once you start monitoring more devices. We hit some unexpected costs when scaling up our infrastructure. The UI, while functional, feels a bit dated compared to some newer monitoring tools; it takes some getting used to
Rabindra k. · Network Security Engineer · Computer & Network Security · December 16, 2025
Highly recommend it if you are looking for something cost efficient and something easy to build and maintain.
Pros: We been using PRTG for almost a year now. We enjoy that it is real-time monitoring and it alerts us using via SMS and email. We also implement the software in a cluster, so that there is no downtime. It offers the service for free to 100 sensors, which also makes this a great product if you are in a small-medium business company. It is easy to setup and use and within a few minutes you would have a functional alerting system.
Cons: I don't think I have anything to complain about if they are offering this for free. Creating maps takes some time, if they offer some built-in templates, I believe it would make it even better. But besides that, this is free - I can't complain about it.
Joe D. · Senior System Engineer · Banking · December 10, 2025
Pros: PRTG made network monitoring straightforward. I appreciated how easy it was to track traffic and server load in real time, especially when diagnosing gameplay service issues. The sensor system is flexible and powerful.
Cons: The interface can feel overloaded with information at times, which may be overwhelming for new users. After some customization, it becomes much easier to read.
Mathieu R. · Programmeur Jouabilité · Gambling & Casinos · November 28, 2025
I have used this for years in many different environments and situations. I am just a fan of the networking monitoring and alerts.
Pros: The Free version gives you 100 sensors to start with. That is more than enough to test the software out and can give you the full dive of the product.
Cons: A bit of a learning cursive at first form what I remember, but they do have the auto discovery for a device. That can help you figure out what you want to be monitoring.
Mike P. · Network Admin · Hospital & Health Care · November 3, 2025
To be fair, this app was setup by my predecessor and some of the problems may have just been configuration choices he made. But the complexity of it, the number of probes was overwhelming. It does a good job of alerting, but when there is so much, it tends to overwhelm to the point of ignoring it. So trying to go thru and pare it down is not easy. Might be worth scrapping it and starting over.
Pros: It is a comprehensive solution. Monitoring, alerting, scheduling, it has most everything needed in a monitoring solution.
Cons: The complexity. So many probes all for the same machine. The growth of the database was also difficult to handle.
Kale L. · Network Admin · Information Technology and Services · May 12, 2025
Pros: Support for large amount of different devices to monitor
Cons: The user interface could be modernised to make it look more visually appealing
Steven M. · IT · Building Materials · March 13, 2025
Pros: PRTG is the best tool for ICMP supervision
Cons: The PRTG 500 subscription is quite expensive for 50 devices
Anonymous User · Engineer · Food & Beverages · February 6, 2025
PRTG ist ein super Tool für die Visualisierung unserer Infrastruktur. Es arbeitet zuverlässig, schnell und bequem.
Pros: Einfachheit und Übersichtlichkeit, Einrichtung und Service
Cons: Sehr rechenintensiv und hohe Hardware-Anforderungen
Daniel P. · IT-Leiter · Wholesale · January 13, 2025
It is a really good network device monitor tool, we used for internal purposses and also to present to our clients their monitor devices
Pros: It is a really good agentless tool to present monitor graphics of our network devices.
Cons: All seems good so far for us we have used it for around 3 years now.
Uriel Z. · Sr Systems Engineer · Security and Investigations · November 20, 2024
Pros: Easy to set up, comprehensive monitoring, saves time.
Cons: Interface is a bit overwhelming, occasional false alarms.
Guillermo H. · mamagement · Apparel & Fashion · October 20, 2024
I like this monitoring tool because it helps to prevent some fails or interruptions on the network
Pros: Monitor all the connections and devices that we use in all the company
Cons: It takes some time to setup each connection or device that wants to monitor
Reynaldo V. · Network Specialist · Automotive · October 14, 2024
Tracking local network devices at an event, and with notifications when something is offline have greatly helped to reduce the stress of keeping an eye on device uptime. a local overview of the network has been a great tool
Pros: there's a lot to it, as such, it covers alot of ground. I'm sure there are templates and possibly scripting that I haven't explored or discovered, but what I have used for monitoring remote events has worked really well.
Cons: there's a bit of learning curve, and as time permits, I hope to eventually get to dig into it. An intro at maybe a simpler level would be nice, with maybe an incentive track to learn more in-depth usage
Randy A. · Sr. Systems Analyst · Entertainment · October 9, 2024
Good reliable and stable partner for IT monitoring. We have been using it for years now.
Pros: Wide range of available sensors. Easy setup.
Cons: No probes for linux systems - although it is still possible to monitor linux devices.
Markus R. · Development lead · Civil Engineering · October 2, 2024
PRTG ist bei uns zur Überwachung der Netzwerk- und Serverinfrastruktur im Einsatz. Die Softwar bietet ein übersichtliches Dashboard mit dem Status aller überwachten Endpunkte. Für die meisten Endpunkte findet PRTG automatisch die passenden Sensoren und richtet diese automatisch ein.
Pros: Sehr einfacher Einstieg in das Monitoring mit sehr guter Sensorendatenbank und viel Informationen durch Community und Hersteller.
Cons: Wenn nicht richtig eingerichtet kann ein Postfach schnell mit Benachrichtigungen überschwemmt werden. Grundsätzlich jedoch kein Fehler der Software
Benedict H. · Leiter IT · Cosmetics · September 30, 2024
Pros: The customizable dashboards and alerts make staying on top of my network's health a cinch.
Cons: The learning curve was a bit steep at first, and I wish there were more pre-built sensor options.
Laura T. · Marketing - Designer · Computer Software · September 26, 2024
Pros: User-friendly interface, reliable monitoring
Cons: Limited customization options, expensive for larger networks
Adrian F. · CTO · Consumer Goods · September 16, 2024
Pros: PRTG captures a big picture overview of an organization's entire infrastructure, the good and the bad which creates a reliable source for users who are seeking for monitoring purposes.
Cons: PRTG can benefit by having more alert settings in different situations or having the ability to pause on certain devices at the discretion of the user.
Krunal P. · Cybersecurity Analyst · Information Technology and Services · September 12, 2024
Best networks monitor of market to monitor proactively predict issues.
Pros: Best tool to monitor the network , Great to get good insists into the network.
Cons: On the costlier side ,for smooth operation machine with good hardware configuration is required
Abhishek K. · IT Infrastructure engineer · Computer & Network Security · August 26, 2024
The overview that PRTG provides about network health and performance is incredibly important in detecting and resolving a possible security threat at its quickest. This proactive approach reduces our downtime a great deal and increases our overall security posture.
Pros: PRTG really excels at providing detailed network visibility. Customizable dashboards and real-time alerting enable strong security. The way this integrates with other existing systems, with deep reporting, makes my proactive management of risk much easier.
Cons: While PRTG is feature-rich, the initial setup may be a little time-consuming. It would be nice if there were more streamlined configuration options for quicker deployment.
Amgad M. · CISO · Information Technology and Services · August 19, 2024
Pros: the affordability of PRTG was the most important for us
Cons: the fact that it runs on windows alone is the only issue we have
Juan N. · IT Director · Medical Devices · July 15, 2024
Seit nun circa zwei Jahren wird PRTG in unserem Unternehmen genutzt. Die Verwaltung, das hinzufügen von neuen Geräten, als auch Einrichtung von Überwachungsgruppen ist sehr einfach. Bisher hat PRTG bei allen Meldungen & Fehler sehr zuverlässig gemeldet.
Pros: - Sehr Übersichtlich - PCs, Drucker, Server, Switche können einfach hinzugefügt werden - Überwachung sehr zuverlässig - Viele Sensoren, die Überwacht werden können - Ständig Up2Date dank Updates
Cons: - Ticketsystem - Bei EPSON WF-Geräten werden die Wartungsboxen nicht überwacht
