PRODUCT OVERVIEW

Why endpoint monitoring with PRTG is important 

Endpoint monitoring is all about keeping an eye on the performance and security of connected devices, such as laptops, smartphones, mobile devices, and IoT systems.

With a growing number of hybrid and remote workplaces, vulnerabilities are increasing, too, and effective endpoint monitoring is more important than ever if you want to keep smooth operations and security.

Paessler PRTG is a great endpoint monitoring solution for this. It tracks important metrics like CPU usage, memory, and network traffic, preventing small issues from becoming bigger problems. And it supports multiple operating systems, including Microsoft Windows and Linux, so you’ve got complete coverage.

3 reasons why to choose PRTG as your endpoint monitoring tool

Endpoint failures can cause significant downtime, which lead to security threats and loss of productivity. With employees handling sensitive data over unsecured networks, there are even more security vulnerabilities. PRTG’s proactive endpoint monitoring ensures that emerging threats are detected early, preventing large-scale network disruptions.

sensors

Predefined or custom sensors

PRTG provides your IT team with preconfigured sensors to keep an eye on key metrics like CPU usage, network traffic, and memory.

Or you build your own sensors using external APIs or custom scripts. Set your preferred warning or error thresholds so you can monitor different endpoint environments the way you need, no matter the hardware, applications, services, or processes; on-premises, virtualized, or in the cloud.

security

Enhanced security posture

PRTG works hand-in-hand with your current cybersecurity tools, spotting vulnerabilities, unauthorized access, and malware. It uses anomaly detection algorithms to keep an eye on unusual traffic patterns, giving you a strong, multi-layered defense for endpoint protection.

This layered approach means that even sophisticated cyberattacks are dealt with quickly, keeping the network safe.

reporting

Comprehensive reporting

Create automated reports that give you a good understanding of performance and endpoint security. IT teams can adapt these reports to make managing endpoints more efficient, analyze historical data, and meet compliance requirements.

PRTG’s reports are flexible enough to cater to both technical evaluations and executive summaries. You can schedule reports to be delivered to the stakeholders at the right time.

What endpoint monitoring looks like in PRTG

Diagnose network issues by continuously tracking the availability, health, and performance of IT assets, network devices, and other endpoints. Show disk space, memory consumption, data traffic, bandwidth utilization, and other key metrics in real time. Visualize monitoring data in clear graphs and dashboards to identify problems more easily. Gain the overview you need to troubleshoot hardware health issues and system inefficiencies.

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

“From a server perspective, we're monitoring all of the key components of our service such as CPU usage, RAM disk space, the Windows services that it's running, and network connectivity of that server. In terms of networks, we’re monitoring all of our switches, firewalls, and access points. It’s really useful to be able to easily pull performance metrics from the PRTG dashboard.”

Ollie Kerslake, Infrastructure Lead
Riverford Organic Farmers

“The tool has given us greater control over all types of devices connected to the network (switches, IP telephony, security cameras, IoT, WiFi) that previously remained opaque when dealing with service incidents. This has improved our ability to diagnose and resolve problems, which has translated into greater efficiency and a better user experience in both internal and public services.”

Jordi Tolosà Bel, New Technologies Technician
Vinaroz City Council

“Our objective was to be able to monitor the health of our most critical servers containing data and applications, but also the flows and bandwidth between headquarters, our 50 servers in the cloud and the 15 servers at our production sites. For us, it is essential to have a proactive approach to understand where the weaknesses of the IT system are to be able to improve them.”

Marc Boullier, CIO
Carambar & Co

It ensures secure device operations and enhances network protection through continuous monitoring. The system’s customizable alerts allow teams to respond to incidents before they affect users.

What is a sensor in PRTG?

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.

We asked: would you recommend PRTG? Over 95% of our customers say yes!

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.
