Summary: PRTG Network Monitor is a powerful and comprehensive network monitoring tool that can help organizations monitor and manage their network performance effectively.

Summary: I am a senior team leader ip core engineer that has been managing PRTG since 2016, i really depend on this monitoring system, of course i encountered a number of issues but none have stood without solving by the PRTG support team.

I really advise any network to implement in their environment to monitor their traffic on a daily basis.

2- UI is simple that you can understand everything right away
3- No complication during the installing/deploying phase
4- Continuous update to remove any bugs that are found

Negative: Nothing to mention, as i've been using it for a long time.

Summary: PRTG Network Monitor is a good option for organizations that require comprehensive network monitoring. However, users should carefully consider the limitations and compare it with other available options in the market before making a final decision.

Positive: PRTG Network Monitor is a comprehensive network monitoring tool with an intuitive user interface and advanced features such as custom sensors and thresholds. It offers useful reporting and alerting features to help troubleshoot network issues.

Negative: The resource-intensive nature of PRTG Network Monitor can impact overall network performance, and some users may find the licensing model complex and confusing. Additionally, the cost can be high compared to other network monitoring tools available in the market. Limited numbers of out-of-box products specific sensors. Intuitive but old user interface.

Summary: As someone who has only tried the software, not a habitual user of it for several months, I'm not that impressed. I'm sure it's good at what it does, but I'm just not finding a good spot for it in my tool box.

Positive: It is a very thorough network scanner, and gives you tons of information about every device it scans.

Negative: Not the most intuitive interface. Same device may show up in several different places based on how it categorizes it, and there doesn't appear to be an easy way to hide it from the redundant sections or move it to just one of them. We use certain IP address ranges for certain job functions and it was more difficult than necessary to basically draw fences around the ones I thought should be grouped. Also, this thing is slow. Advanced IP scanner takes about 3 minutes to scan the network and provide quite a bit of information. PRTG ran for 3 days and I still don't know if it was done.
