In three months time, we know we're going to be up to 90%,so we need to plan ahead for it, getting upgrades booked in place."

"There's always room for improvement. The high availability feature is good, but it's an area that PRTG could marginally improve. For example, in PRTG, both servers have a different IP, but it would make things a lot easier if they were bound by a single IP."
"PRTG's documentation could be improved."
