Custom alerts and data visualizations let you quickly identify and prevent low bandwidth, packet loss, latency, and other network performance issues.
For network administrators, one of the truths you must embrace is that you don’t know all your connected devices. Even small networks are connected to scores of end devices; the bigger and more dynamic your IT infrastructure, the harder it is to watch everything. Paessler PRTG cuts through the noise and gives you instant, automatic visibility to your entire network.
Diagnose network issues by continuously tracking your network devices. Show performance data, hardware health and availability, and other key metrics, and easily detect new devices in real time.

Network device scanning automatically identifies all the devices connected to a network. This includes their attributes, such as IP addresses, device types, operating systems, versions, and configurations.
Scanning is important for keeping an up-to-date view of the network’s infrastructure. Among other tasks, network device scanning helps IT teams:
How often depends very much on your organization’s size, the complexity of the network, and your industry’s regulations. Typically, at least once a day is recommended.
PRTG as a network device scanner stands out for many reasons. Here are the top three:
The terms "network scanner" and "IP scanner" are often used interchangeably, but they refer to slightly different tools or functionalities within the broader context of network administration and security.
Network scanner
A network scanner is a tool designed to analyze and monitor an entire Windows or Linux-based network. Its functionalities include:
IP scanner
An IP scanner is a more specific tool that focuses on identifying devices associated with particular IP addresses within a network. Its primary functions include:
IP scanners are typically used when the goal is to identify which devices are currently online or to discover IP conflicts.
Examples: Angry IP Scanner, Advanced IP Scanner, and Lansweeper.
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.
