Custom alerts and data visualization let you quickly identify and prevent bandwidth bottlenecks, unplanned downtime, and other network performance issues.
Chances are, you can’t say for sure.
In network administration, there’s rarely such a thing as a one-time purchase. And, the price of the software aside, implementation may – scratch that, often does – come with unexpected additional expenses: staffing, training, buying hardware and other technical infrastructure... Even accessing specific functionality or customizing your monitoring environment to suit might result in extra costs.
Cue your higher-ups complaining about cash flow, budgeting, and forecasting challenges, and asking you to create reports with your subscription analytics so they can get to the bottom of what’s going on.
With Paessler PRTG, you can put these issues firmly in the past.
Whether you opt for an on-premises deployment or our cloud-hosted SaaS solution, you’ll have access to comprehensive network monitoring functionality for one fair, transparent, and predictable fee.
We won’t try to upsell you or force you to upgrade to access critical features in order to boost our subscription metrics. Our business model relies on customer retention. Read, we go out of our way to make sure you’re happy and stick around.
Your critical hardware and software metrics in one place: bandwidth, CPU load, server health, availability, apps, virtual machines...
It’s simpler to manage, gives your team a better user experience, and makes it easier to glean valuable insights on your network’s health and performance. Best of all, one payment covers everything.
Setup and monitoring that take care of themselves. Literally. The automatic network discovery finds every hardware and software component on your network and assigns the right sensors.
Once that’s all sorted, pick your preferred performance thresholds and PRTG will email, text, or send an in-app notification on your mobile app if it detects a potential issue.
Use PRTG's default settings and start monitoring straight out of the box, or tailor it to your network infrastructure’s exact requirements: custom sensors, user-defined alert thresholds…
You can even create your own library of network topology maps, bespoke charts, graphs, and dashboards, and reporting templates.
With support for unlimited local, remote, and virtual devices, and flexible pricing, PRTG can handle networks of all shapes and sizes.

Choose the PRTG Network Monitor subscription that's best for you
Paessler PRTG is a proprietary enterprise network monitoring solution that tracks important metrics and KPIs across your entire network: servers, routers, switches, and other hardware, applications, databases, and even temperature, humidity, and other environmental variables. Available for Microsoft Windows-based on-premises servers or as a cloud-hosted solution, it can monitor unlimited local, remote, and virtual network devices, bringing critical system data together in one simple, intuitive interface you can access from anywhere for one affordable monthly, annual, or multi-annual subscription.
That’s an easy one. Because paying a single monthly subscription makes forecasting (and budgeting for) monitoring costs simpler and more accurate. The subscription-based pricing model means a single fee covers everything, which will make your life easier and keep your accounts department happy.
Both our cloud-hosted and on-premises solutions use a subscription model, which means you pay a fixed monthly or annual fee, with one key difference.
Because PRTG Network Monitor – one of our on-premises solutions – is installed locally, your cost is fixed: you pay the same price for the duration of the subscription period.
By contrast, with PRTG Hosted Monitor – our cloud-based SaaS solution – you have the flexibility to upgrade or downgrade at any point during your subscription period. Should you upgrade or downgrade, the price of your subscription will go correspondingly up or down.
Yes. PRTG Hosted Monitor’s system of remote probes enable it to monitor any device, even if it’s located 1000 miles away. This makes it ideal for organizations that have distributed IT infrastructure and MSPs who manage and monitor multiple clients’ networks. Our network monitoring solution is also multi-tenant, meaning both you and your clients can access the monitoring environment. And, with our stringent security standards and robust rights management, both you and your clients can rest assured your data is safe.
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.
