PRTG 7.2 Beta Available
More Than 500 Improvements and New Features
Since the release of PRTG Network Monitor 7.1 in March 2009 we implemented lots of new features and improvements most based on our customer requests and feedback.
Some highlights of 7.2 are:
- New Windows GUI:
Especially for larger installations the Windows based user interface is faster and more comfortable when managing sensors. - Innovative QoS (Quality of Service) sensor measures vital network connectivity parameters like jitter, packet loss, and packet delay variation between two probes – the perfect tool to find network issues that can affect VoIP sound quality or video streaming hickups
- Plus more than ten new sensor types:
- Support for NetFlow 9 and sFlow
- IP-SLA sensor for Cisco devices
- Amazon CloudWatch sensor monitors virtual instances in the Amazon EC2 cloud
- Support for HyperV virtual servers and RADIUS servers
- SNMP Trap receiver and Syslog receiver
- Sensors for Exchange 2010 and Exchange 2007
- Improved web-interface: Users upgrading from previous versions will find many new features that make working with PRTG so much easier.
- Multi-object editing (e.g. change the interval for 30 PING sensors in one step)
- Added a new compact “S” view for groups that shows a large number of servers on less screen estate
- Just these and the other UI changes justify an upgrade!
- Improved reporting
- And many others...
Please Join the Beta Testing Efforts
Until the official release of PRTG 7.2 (currently planned for September 2009) we will be going through several weeks of beta testing. Please download the latest beta and test drive the software. We really appreciate your feedback...
