An easy to use monitoring solution for Windows based networks
PRTG Network Monitor runs under Windows Server 2003 and 2008, as well as under XP, Vista, and Windows 7 and monitors Windows, Linux, UNIX, and MacOS systems. PRTG is installed and set up within minutes; it comes with its own, integrated database and web server, and an automatic network discovery. PRTG is consequently optimized for easy usage.

One software to monitor your entire network, devices as well as applications, traffic as well as availability PRTG Network Monitor supports SNMP, WMI, Flow monitoring, as well as packet sniffing, and offers more than 110 special sensors for VoIP monitoring, website monitoring, email monitoring, application monitoring, database monitoring, monitoring of virtual environments, and many others.

Monitoring of different sites from one central installation
PRTG Network Monitor comes with so called ‘remote probes’ which can be installed to locally distributed networks and then send the monitoring data SSL-encrypted via Internet (no VPN required) to the core server of the central installation.

A comprehensive network monitoring solution that fits to your budget
PRTG Network Monitor offers comprehensive monitoring functionality and scales up to larger networks of some thousand devices and even more for the price of an entry level monitoring software.

Comprehensive Licensing
PRTG Network Monitor includes the entire monitoring functionality in every license. No add-ons are required—no extra costs, no extra configuration or maintenance efforts, no extra traffic load.

High availability monitoring
