Custom alerts and data visualization let you quickly identify and prevent QoS-related network issues and disruptions.
Business continuity depends on critical applications. A solid network is crucial for everything from sending legal documents over a secure connection to VoIP calls with important clients. Paessler PRTG is the key to keeping your IT infrastructure going and the future bright for your organization.
Don’t guess; know when and where your network is most vulnerable. Quality of Service (QoS) monitoring with PRTG helps you identify and prioritize traffic based on importance and sensitivity to delay.
Learn when your network is most likely to suffer congestion issues and accurately plan for potential bottlenecks.
It’s not enough to know your network is underperforming; you also need to know where to improve. Comprehensive QoS monitoring gives you the answer by measuring key performance metrics.
Track packet loss, measure latency, monitor jitter and the MOS, and make sure that your video conferences can take place without interruptions, all with PRTG.
Especially in enterprise-level organizations, QA is a necessary part of network management. Are your network policies being followed? Is your traffic correctly prioritized? Does your network performance meet your service level agreements (SLA)?
PRTG gives you the answers to these essential quality assurance questions via in-depth reports that you can easily customize according to your needs.
QoS monitoring tools can be aggressive with alerts, but you don’t have to pull your hair out. PRTG brings you real-time alerts through push, SMS, email, and more.
Customize your alerts based on your network’s unique needs and thresholds. And, with our PRTG apps for iOS or Android, you can get the alerts that matter immediately, wherever you are.
Diagnose network issues by continuously tracking your network’s quality of service, including data traffic and network bandwidth monitoring. Show network congestion, bottlenecks, and packet loss in real time. Visualize monitoring data in clear graphs and dashboards to identify problems more easily. Gain the overview you need to troubleshoot QoS-related issues with video conferencing, VoIP calls, and other business processes.

Quality of service refers to the quality of a communication service from the point of view of the user. Both the establishment of the connection and the connection communication should be stable, with data packets transmitted free of errors and in their entirety. Quality of service is an extremely important consideration, especially for companies.
Quality of service is measured by four main parameters:
QoS monitoring, or Quality of Service monitoring, refers to the process of measuring and managing the performance and efficiency of a network's services to ensure they meet specific predefined standards and requirements. QoS is crucial in network environments where different types of traffic, such as voice, video, and data, coexist and compete for network resources.
Yes. QoS monitoring helps manage bandwidth more effectively by helping admins identify and prioritize critical traffic. This reduces congestion, improving the network.
The International Telecommunication Union (ITU-T) is responsible for telecommunications standards. It provides several recommendations regarding quality of service. For example: packet loss should be no higher than 5%, while with latency, delays of 125 milliseconds or less are still acceptable.
PRTG has even stricter QoS requirements than the ITU-T’s recommendations: a packet loss rate of 0%, and maximum latency and jitter values of 100 and 25 milliseconds.
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.
