"The feature I like is that it can easily do a lot of mapping."
"It allows us to directly add individual VMs independently."
"I would boldly say that this is the most scalable network monitoring tool that I know of"

"The real-time monitoring feature in PRTG is invaluable to me"
"The product can scale."
"The technical support needs improvement."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"I would like to see a more robust platform and a new dashboard. In addition, the code is good, but it needs improvement."
"PRTG's application monitoring sensor is not strong."
"PRTG Network Monitor is okay to use, but you'll need some time to analyze the data. If it can automatically locate or identify the problem area, it would be more helpful to users."
"We're using more cloud services now. It would be useful to be able to get information back from these cloud services in detail, and display any issues within PRTG for the rest of our systems."

"When using PRTG Network Monitor it is beneficial if you have prior experience with it, the user interface could improve."
"I wouldn't mind better categories for the sensors. When I go to add a new sensor for a new device, there are some categories in there already, and they can be filtered out, but there's quite a large pool of sensors... When I want to go in and find something quite specific, I have got to scroll down and scroll down to find what I'm actually looking for,"
"I can't recall coming across any missing features."
