Custom alerts and data visualization let you quickly identify and prevent status errors, unresponsive applications, and other performance issues.
They pump the data, processing tools, and other vital resources your colleagues need to do their jobs well. And one small, skipped beat – or performance problem – can slow down your network to the point where your organization risks grinding to a halt.
Paessler PRTG provides a single unified view of every application on your network – from hardware-based apps to virtual systems – so it's easy to keep track of critical stats, spot problems before they cause disruption, and ensure your organization stays heart-healthy.
All your applications' critical stats, at your fingertips: server applications (databases, email, Exchange), cloud environments (Azure, AWS, Google Cloud), web applications (Zoom, Microsoft 365), virtualized applications (Citrix, VMware, Docker Container), plus standard Windows applications such as SharePoint, FTP, and Active Directory.
Pick your preferred warning and error thresholds for the various application performance metrics you want to keep an eye on. Get notified as soon as an application is at risk of going under or over these thresholds. This ensures you're using your resources efficiently, helps avoid network disruption, and allows you to leave the office at a reasonable hour.
Can't find a preconfigured sensor for a specific app? You can easily create a custom sensor that's tailor-made to your needs. Pick the predefined PRTG sensor that most closely matches your requirements from our extensive library, and create your custom .exe script. PRTG will take it from there.
Diagnose network issues by continuously tracking server, cloud, web, and virtual applications across your network. Show application health, usage, dependencies, and other performance metrics in real time. Visualize monitoring data in clear graphs and dashboards to identify problems more easily. Gain the network visibility you need to troubleshoot and debug root causes of application performance issues.

An application refers to a software program or set of programs designed to perform a specific task or function for end users, businesses, or other software applications. Applications are the tools that allow users to interact with computers and computer systems to accomplish various tasks.
There are various types of applications, including:
Application monitoring involves the continuous tracking and analysis of software applications to ensure optimal performance, identify issues, and maintain a positive end-user experience. Application monitoring tools include monitoring various metrics such as response times, error rates, and resource utilization to detect anomalies or potential problems. This proactive approach allows IT teams to address issues promptly, minimize downtime, and optimize application performance.
Application management encompasses a broader set of activities involved in the lifecycle of an application. It includes tasks such as installation, configuration, updating, and overall administration of applications. Application performance management also involves activities related to user access, security, and ensuring that applications align with business objectives. It focuses on the overall governance and maintenance of applications throughout their lifecycle.
APM specifically targets the performance aspects of applications. Application performance monitoring tools and practices are designed to monitor and analyze various performance metrics, such as response times, resource utilization, and error rates. The goal of APM tools is to identify bottlenecks, inefficiencies, or issues affecting the performance of an application. By closely monitoring these metrics, APM helps organizations optimize application performance, enhance user experience, and troubleshoot performance-related issues.
PRTG is a proprietary software tool that tracks the availability and performance of every application that runs on your network. Available for Windows-based on-premises servers or as a cloud-hosted solution, it's capable of monitoring unlimited web applications, server applications, cloud applications, virtual applications, and more, bringing critical system data together in one simple, intuitive interface you can access from anywhere: at the office, at home, or on the go.
PRTG is way more than an application performance or web application monitoring tool: it can keep an eye on your whole IT infrastructure, no matter how complex. We have preconfigured sensors to track a wide range of values, including network traffic, bandwidth, cloud services, availability & uptime, ports, IP addresses, hardware health, network security, and web services. You can also monitor industrial IT and OT environments using OPC UA, MQTT, or Modbus, and create custom integrations with our API.
In PRTG, “sensors” are the basic monitoring elements. One sensor usually monitors one measured value in your network, for example the traffic of a switch port, the CPU load of a server, or the free space on a disk drive. On average, you need about 5-10 sensors per device or one sensor per switch port.
Paessler conducted trials in over 600 IT departments worldwide to tune its network monitoring software closer to the needs of sysadmins. The result of the survey: over 95% of the participants would recommend PRTG – or already have.
Paessler PRTG is used by companies of all sizes. Sysadmins love PRTG because it makes their job a whole lot easier.
Bandwidth, servers, virtual environments, websites, VoIP services – PRTG keeps an eye on your entire network.
Everyone has different monitoring needs. That’s why we let you try PRTG for free.
