What is Monitoring as a Service (MaaS)?
Monitoring as a Service (MaaS)
Monitoring as a Service (MaaS) lets you implement a monitoring application online. We host the monitoring software for you, which means you won’t have to install it on the computers in your network. Another advantage: you no longer have to bother with maintenance and updates.
Monitoring as a Service is also used in the context of services that MSPs (Managed Service Providers) offer. Read more about PRTG for MSPs here.
Tailor-made packages available
As with Software as a Service (SaaS), the only thing you’ll need is an Internet connection, which means you can free up resources (such as servers) that were once used to run your monitoring software. Our packages can be customized and renewed on a monthly or annual basis, allowing you to enjoy the utmost in flexibility, and to only pay for that which you really require.

Comprehensive monitoring tool
PRTG is a comprehensive monitoring tool for your entire IT infrastructure. It lets you keep a constant eye on your network, systems, and applications. Thanks to its intuitive feel and easy-to-read dashboards, PRTG always receives top scores by customers and independent tests. PRTG Hosted Monitor lets you get started with network monitoring at once – without having to set up a server or endure lengthy configuration processes.
“In all, when it comes to on-premises monitoring solutions, PRTG Network Monitor is very hard to beat. It provides a terrific range of sensor options for both local devices and cloud services, along with plenty of monitoring facilities, yet it’s easy to manage, and comes with a simple, affordable pricing scheme that’s perfect for SMBs.”
Preconfigured sensors
With PRTG Hosted Monitor, you can, of course, take advantage of the full range of preconfigured PRTG sensors. This makes it easy to monitor all the main aspects of your network, such as hardware, software, traffic, and performance. PRTG’s Auto Discovery feature automatically detects network devices and integrates them into your monitoring. As a result, you can forgo having to add individual checkpoints manually.
How PRTG defines sensors
In PRTG, “sensors” are the basic monitoring elements. One sensor usually monitors one measured value in your network, e.g. the traffic of a switch port, the CPU load of a server, the free space of a disk drive. On average you need about 5-10 sensors per device or one sensor per switch port.
Easy-to-read display
PRTG presents all network monitoring information on easy-to-read dashboards. Feel free to customize these dashboards to meet your own specific needs. By doing so, you'll keep a constant eye on all the key values of your network, and ensure that everything is running smoothly.
Finally, PRTG’s Map Editor lets you create network charts in a matter of seconds.
Customizable notification system
When it comes to your network, you need to be updated at once – especially if your website is down, your virtual machines are overloaded, or the network’s hard drives are nearing full capacity. PRTG constantly monitors your entire network and notifies you as soon as any of your predefined threshold values are exceeded. You get to choose how you’d like to be alerted, whether it be by email, SMS, or push notification.

PRTG is an all-in-one network monitoring tool. It not only comes with preconfigured sensors for all the devices and applications in your network, but it can also be customized to meet any particular needs. What’s more, additional user-defined sensors can be set up and deployed along with the preconfigured ones. Finally, PRTG lets you define the threshold values which, if reached, will trigger an alarm.

Our free apps for Android, iOS, and Windows telephones use push technology to send these notifications directly to your smartphone. Setting up your preferences (SMS, email, etc.) for alerts is both quick and easy. And thanks to our powerful API, you can even write your own notification scripts!
“Hey Dirk, what do you think about network monitoring?”
“Without network monitoring, it can easily take several hours to locate a network error, such as identifying a router which isn't working properly. Costs can quickly pile up due to unused man days. With a monitoring service, the amount of downtime can be minimized and in many cases even proactively eliminated. With our PRTG monitoring tool, we hope to simplify the job of administrators so they can go about their work efficiently and with less stress.”
Dirk Paessler, founder of Paessler AG
Notification system:
Be alerted quickly
Flexible
PRTG features a variety of alert types: E-mail, SMS, Pager, Apps, running an external application, etc. You can specify when and how each person is to be informed about network issues. To do so, you can add contacts and edit, delete, or pause your notifications at any time.
Integrated
The notification system is built into the monitoring software and is available at no extra charge. Because of its integrated quality, configuring the alert feature is done in just a few clicks.
Proactive
PRTG won't wait to let you know if your "house is on fire." You define your own thresholds. If these are crossed, you'll receive a corresponding notification. This means you can intervene promptly before clients or coworkers are aware of any problems.
