In complex ICT environments, problems arise around every corner. Servers crash without warning, network traffic spikes, security holes appear overnight, and critical applications slow to a crawl. When these problems occur simultaneously, your phone is ringing off the hook as you try to figure out what went wrong and where. Without the right monitoring tool, you're essentially flying blind.
Choose the exact monitoring capacity you need without overpaying for unused features. PRTG offers simple subscription options based on the number of sensors, rather than complicated feature tiers or device limitations. Adjust your license as your infrastructure grows to ensure you always have the right coverage without budget surprises.
Access knowledgeable assistance whenever you encounter challenges with your monitoring setup. PRTG is backed by Paessler engineers who understand the complexities of today's ICT environments and can respond quickly to your questions. The support team helps you maximize your monitoring investment by providing personalized guidance rather than generic troubleshooting scripts.
Monitor remote sites and branch offices from a central console without complex network configurations. Remote probes collect data locally and transmit it securely to your core installation, maintaining visibility across geographically dispersed locations. The distributed architecture reduces bandwidth consumption while providing a complete overview of your entire organization.
Focus on solving real problems instead of constantly tweaking your monitoring system. PRTG updates automatically and requires minimal administration compared to other enterprise monitoring solutions. The low-maintenance design means that you spend less time configuring alerts and more time on the critical issues those alerts help you to identify.
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 SNMP Traffic v2 sensor monitors bandwidth and traffic on a device. It can show the following:
The HTTP v2 sensor monitors a web server. It can show the following:
The SSL Certificate sensor monitors the certificate of a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)/Transport Layer Security (TLS) secured connection. It can show the following:
The Port v2 sensor monitors a network service by connecting to one or more of its TCP/IP ports. It can show the following:
The sFlow sensor receives traffic data from an sFlow v5-compatible device and shows the traffic by type. This sensor has several filter options to divide traffic into different channels. It can show the following and more:
See the PRTG Manual for a list of all available sensor types.

An ICT monitoring tool tracks the performance, availability, and security of your information and communication technologies infrastructure. These solutions continuously observe network devices, servers, and applications to detect issues before they impact operations. Modern ICT monitoring platforms provide real-time alerts, detailed metrics, and dashboards that give you visibility into your entire technology stack. With proper monitoring, you can identify bottlenecks, prevent downtime, and maintain optimal user experience.
PRTG improves cybersecurity by monitoring for suspicious activity and vulnerabilities across your entire ICT infrastructure. Our solution integrates with intrusion detection systems to identify unauthorized access attempts in real-time. You can configure alerts for unusual traffic patterns, failed logins and configuration changes that may indicate security incidents. PRTG also monitors the status of security appliances and firewalls to ensure that your defenses remain operational, giving you peace of mind.
When evaluating ICT solutions for network monitoring, look for these essential features:
PRTG helps to optimize the user experience by measuring application response times, service availability and resource utilization. You can track the performance of critical applications and receive alerts when metrics fall below acceptable thresholds. Our solution helps you identify and resolve problems before users notice them. With historical performance data, you can identify trends and plan for capacity upgrades. This proactive approach ensures a consistent, reliable user experience.
Follow a structured methodology that starts with identifying critical systems and defining monitoring objectives. Map your infrastructure and determine which metrics are most important. Establish baseline performance levels and set appropriate alert thresholds. Deploy sensors incrementally, focusing on mission-critical systems first. Review your monitoring configuration regularly as your infrastructure evolves. Train your team to interpret monitoring data and develop response procedures for common issues.
PRTG uses automation to streamline the monitoring process. The auto-discovery feature identifies network devices and suggests appropriate sensors, saving setup time. You can configure automatic responses to specific events, such as restarting services when problems occur. Scheduled reports provide insight without manual preparation. The notification system manages alerts, including escalation procedures to prevent alert storms. These capabilities allow you and your IT team to focus on strategic initiatives instead of routine tasks.
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.
