Paessler Reviews, Ratings & Features 2026 | Gartner Peer Insights

Infrastructure monitoring tools capture the health and resource utilization of IT infrastructure components wherever they reside (e.g., in a data center, at the edge, or IaaS or PaaS in the cloud). This enables I&O teams to monitor the availability and resource utilization data of physical, virtual, software entities, and AI systems — including servers, containers, network devices, database instances, hypervisors, storage, and basic application monitoring. These tools collect data in near real time and perform historical data analysis or trending of the elements they monitor.

Paessler PRTG allows me to monitor the status of our network (including hardware) tools in real time, in a simple and efficient way. I use it daily to keep track of servers and network devices, which helps me to ensure our infrastructure is running smoothly and issues are detected early.

PRTG is a simple tool for monitoring network and other devices with easy setup and management. We have used it for more than 10 years with >5000 active sensors in a cluster mode. Creating maps with selected sensors is easy and gives valuable information on one page. We use scheduled reports and e-mail/Teams alerts for threshold breaches. If you group devices and sensors, you can set a threshold for multiple interfaces at once. We use some WMI sensors to monitor Windows servers, and with a large predefined sensor library we use specific OIDs only on rare occasions. 
New subscription licensing multiplied our support costs because we had unlimited perpetual licenses and paid a reasonable price for support. We rarely needed support, but when we did, they responded quickly.
Happy with the product but due to price increase and as we have implemented another solution which has got performance monitoring, we will use it as long as it works with the current license.
