PRTG Network Monitor

PRTG is a great network monitoring software!

Kommentare: My overall experience with PRTG is great! I've been using that for about 7 years now and have 3 PRTG servers, each one to monitor a specific location. I have just a few issues over this amount of time, but those are totally acceptable because no software is perfect. This one is pretty good and worth a try.

Vorteile:

- There is a free version of up to 100 sensors - Dashboard is great - There are a lot of sensors for all purposes available - You can monitor remote hosts

Nachteile:

- Very rarely, after an update, some sensors start to malfunction

My go-to monitoring solution for almost 10 years

Kommentare: I have been extremely happy with PRTG for the close to 10 years that I have used it. It has been extremely reliable, which is paramount for a tool you are using to monitor your entire network.

Vorteile:

I love how easy it is to get rolled out and customized to work for pretty much anything with an IP Address. Real-time and historical data that is provided in PRTG is invaluable.

Nachteile:

While this is not necessarily it's intended purpose, the Syslog/SNMP sensors could use some work to make it easier to use them as a collector/trap for historical logs.
