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. ----- ### "I like PRTG, always is working" — 4.0/5 > **Julian** | *March 11, 2024* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: I used PRTG in several environnements accros my work, and every time the setup was faster. I used at home too, there is free licence that you can use. > > **Cons**: When you use some sensors using a specifically SNMP string and a update arrive, your sensor can be down and you need to rebuild all the sensor again to make it work. ----- ### "Awesome product to use" — 5.0/5 > **Harjot** | *April 15, 2024* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The monitoring system, dashboard, logs, patch management etc. I think I like all the features of PRTG. > > **Cons**: I would say they should improve their Remote management system more. We cannot push the softwares directly from there. ----- ### "Practical & Real Monitoring Tool" — 4.0/5 > **Rabindra** | *December 16, 2025* | Computer & Network Security | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **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 > > 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. ----- ### "PRTG is a Great Tool" — 5.0/5 > **Mike** | *November 3, 2025* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **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. > > I have used this for years in many different environments and situations. I am just a fan of the networking monitoring and alerts. ----- Page: 1 / 11\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ca/software/21581/prtg-network-monitor?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ca/software/21581/prtg-network-monitor) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | ko | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pl | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | | sv | | | tr | | ----- ## Structured Data
