Custom alerts and data visualization let you quickly identify and prevent network performance issues.
Higher jitter increases the likelihood of experiencing choppy audio, dropped calls, lagging video conferencing, and poor network performance in general. Yet, watching every bit and byte of network data is a full-time job. Paessler PRTG is your extra team support, ready to make it easier to measure, analyze, and address all kinds of jitter issues.
Diagnose network issues by continuously tracking your network’s performance. Show jitter, latency, bandwidth usage, response time, network traffic and VoIP traffic, 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 network congestions, bandwidth hogs, and other performance issues.

It wouldn't be nearly as interesting if you could only see part of Mona Lisa’s smile. Don’t be bored with your jitter testing; get the whole picture.
PRTG gives you an in-depth analysis of jitter, latency, and packet loss. So, you get the data you need to make a real difference to network performance.
Who wants to spend their weekends troubleshooting jitter and latency issues? We recognize that weekends and nights are important for R&R, so we’ve worked hard to make PRTG a fast “resolution solution.”
Get all the data you need to identify when an issue occurs quickly, pinpoint where the issue is, and resolve it – down to the application and process level.
PRTG comes with real-time alerts that sound the alarm when jitter exceeds the thresholds you set. Customize these alerts to go to key stakeholders at specific thresholds using a set delivery method.
Notifications can be delivered over email, SMS, push notifications, Slack, and more. With PRTG on the watch, you can finally leave the office without worrying about the network.
PRTG is easy to set up. In most instances, all it takes is a few clicks and minutes to start monitoring your network “out of the box.”
Over and over, our customers mention ease of use, ease of setup, and how easy it is to understand the central dashboard as part of the reason they keep PRTG in their tech stack. No PhD needed to implement.
PRTG comes with more than 250 native sensor types for monitoring your entire on-premises, cloud, and hybrid cloud environment out of the box. Check out some examples below!
The Ping Jitter sensor sends a series of Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) echo requests ("pings") to a URI to determine the statistical jitter. It can show the following:
The QoS (Quality of Service) One Way sensor monitors parameters regarding the quality of a network connection between two probes. It can show the following:
The QoS (Quality of Service) Round Trip sensor monitors parameters regarding the quality of a network connection between two probes. It can show the following:
The Cisco IP SLA sensor monitors Voice over IP (VoIP) network parameters using IP service level agreements (SLA) from Cisco. It can show the following:
See the PRTG Manual for a list of all available sensor types.
Custom alerts and data visualization let you quickly identify and prevent network performance issues.
PRTG is set up in a matter of minutes and can be used on a wide variety of mobile devices.

Network jitter is the deviation from the average amount of time a data packet needs to travel from its starting point to its destination. High jitter values can cause noticeable delays and transmission errors (such as background noise and faulty audio signals), in particular when it comes to real-time services such as VoIP. No network is completely free of jitter. The important thing is that you keep jitter to a minimum.
Network jitter tests are a good way to check the quality of your connection. Among other things, these tests will help you determine whether your Internet Service Provider (ISP) is fulfilling the terms of your service level agreement (SLA), or if you need to increase your bandwidth.
PRTG’s network jitter test measures packet delay variation, the average jitter over time, packet loss rate, latency and round trip time (RTT), traffic patterns, and traffic congestion.
Yes. PRTG can test jitter on several network types, including your LAN, WAN, virtual and cloud-based networks, and more.
For VoIP and video conferencing, jitter should ideally be below 30 milliseconds. Higher levels can cause noticeable interruptions.
Yes! PRTG has specific sensors designed to measure, monitor, and analyze jitter. PRTG as a jitter monitoring tool helps identify and resolve issues that cause delays, poor audio, video, and VoIP call quality, slow download speeds, and other performance problems.
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.
