PRTG Network Monitor is Paessler's flagship network monitoring solution, designed to provide comprehensive, real-time visibility across an entire IT infrastructure, including networks, servers, devices, traffic, and applications. The software is built on a highly flexible sensor-based architecture, offering over 250 native sensor types for monitoring virtually any aspect of a network, such as bandwidth usage, server uptime, hardware health, and database performance.
Key capabilities include automatic network discovery for quick setup, distributed monitoring via Remote Probes for multiple locations, and a failover cluster for high availability. Users can visualize their network status using customizable dashboards, real-time maps (including Sunburst and Tree Map views), and an AJAX-based web interface, complemented by native desktop and mobile applications for monitoring on the go.
PRTG is suitable for businesses of all sizes, from small-to-medium businesses (SMBs) to large enterprises, offering a freemium model with a free edition of up to 100 sensors. It supports a wide range of protocols and technologies, including SNMP, WMI, NetFlow, jFlow, sFlow, SSH, RESTful API, and specialized protocols for industrial and healthcare environments like OPC UA, DICOM, and HL7.
The platform's alerting system is highly flexible, providing custom notifications via email, SMS, push notifications, Slack, and Microsoft Teams, helping IT teams proactively resolve issues before they escalate.
