PRTG Network Monitor Tool for Advanced Network Management
Monitor and Optimize Your Network Using PRTG
Effective network administration is only feasible when you have a powerful network monitor tool at your disposal. To give you a comprehensive view of your network, a monitoring solution should combine availability monitoring tools with bandwidth measurement software and support several protocols.
With more than 50 different sensor types, PRTG Network Monitor offers availability, performance, and bandwidth monitoring. This network monitor tool supports SNMP, WMI, packet sniffing, and NetFlow, allowing you to check bandwidth and trace network traffic, to monitor network devices and virtual servers, to check the quality of VoIP connections, etc.
Bandwidth Monitoring Using the PRTG Network Monitor Tool
Paessler's network management tools offer a variety of possibilities for measuring bandwidth: the simplest method is using SNMP, which enables you to monitor router bandwidth, and to see which port consumes most bandwidth. If you want to track bandwidth consumption by user (i.e. IP address), you can either use packet sniffing or NetFlow. While the NetFlow monitor is only available in the commercial editions of PRTG, the packet sniffing functionality is also included in the free version. The packet sniffer freeware supports up to 10 sensors, and can be used completely free of charge for personal and commercial purposes.
Availability Monitoring and Network Management
PRTG's PING sensor makes sure that your network devices or web servers are available, and a variety of SNMP and WMI sensors let you monitor almost anything in your network: available disk space, CPU or memory load, environmental temperature, application usage etc. In addition, the PRTG network monitor tool makes it possible to monitor several locations with just one installation of the software.
PRTG, the Complete Network Monitoring Tool at an Unbeatable Price
PRTG Network Monitor and protocol analyzer is available in two editions: the free network management software is suitable for home networks and small company networks with only a few devices to monitor. For more advanced needs, the commercial editions start at $400 / €300.
