IT automation: FAQ

 

What is an IT automation tool?

An IT automation tool helps automate repetitive and time-consuming IT tasks, such as provisioning systems, managing configurations, and monitoring performance. By reducing manual effort, these tools improve efficiency, minimize human error, and streamline processes across IT infrastructure.

How does PRTG function as an automation platform?

PRTG functions as a comprehensive automation platform by integrating monitoring, alerting, and reporting into a single solution. Its advanced functionality allows you to track IT systems, automate workflows, and reduce downtime. It also supports end-to-end visibility across networks and applications, giving IT teams full control of their operations.

Is PRTG a user-friendly tool for IT automation?

Yes, PRTG is designed with ease of use in mind. It features an intuitive interface, customizable dashboards, and drag-and-drop functionality for configuring sensors and alerts. Its low-code and no-code automation capabilities make it accessible for teams with varying levels of technical expertise.

Can PRTG be integrated with other tools and platforms?

PRTG excels at integration and supports a wide range of platforms, including Microsoft Azure, cloud-based services and on-premises systems. Its compatibility with APIs and programming languages such as JavaScript makes it an ideal choice for creating custom automation solutions.

How does PRTG enhance the scalability of IT automation?

PRTG adapts to growing infrastructure needs with scalable architecture. Whether managing a small business process or an enterprise-level network, PRTG provides the flexibility to add sensors, expand monitoring capabilities and handle complex IT tasks without performance loss.

What are some use cases for IT automation with PRTG?

PRTG supports several use cases, including process automation for configuration management, monitoring cloud-based systems, optimizing resource utilization and improving decision-making with detailed reports. It also helps organizations orchestrate workflows to reduce downtime and improve overall reliability.

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.
