Trusted by regional and site-based IT teams at manufacturers, hospitals, universities, retailers, and more - worldwide.
Corporate monitoring tools are built for central IT teams that control everything - not for the plant, regional office, or campus IT team that has its own infrastructure, its own urgency, and no time to wait on central IT. PRTG is built to be deployed by your team, for your environment, on your schedule.
You’re accountable for uptime at your site. But the tools available either don’t fit your environment, take too long to deploy, or require resources you don’t have. You need monitoring visibility right now, and on your terms.
Enterprise-wide monitoring platforms are built for central IT teams, not for a regional office or plant floor. Adding a device takes days. Getting a new sensor approved takes weeks.
When something goes down at your site, your team is accountable – not corporate IT. If your monitoring depends on central approval, you're exposed.
Your site runs OT systems, industrial devices, and specialized hardware that corporate tools don't support. You need to monitor what's actually there – not what headquarters planned for.
PRTG gives Distributed Enterprise IT teams the independence, speed, and flexibility to monitor what matters — without navigating corporate complexity
Your team can build maps and dashboards that reflect your actual site layout, your devices, and the metrics that matter to you. Whether you’re monitoring a plant floor network, a hospital campus, or a distribution center, PRTG shows you what’s happening in real time.
PRTG deploys in hours. Your team is in control from day one.
From standard IT infrastructure to industrial systems, PRTG covers the monitoring scenarios that matter most to Distributed Enterprise IT teams. Here are some of the most relevant sensor types.
The SNMP Traffic v2 sensor monitors bandwidth and traffic on a device. It can show the following:
The Modbus TCP Custom sensor connects to a Modbus Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) server and monitors up to ten returned numeric values. It can show the following:
The MQTT Subscribe Custom sensor subscribes to a Message Queue Telemetry Transport (MQTT) topic and monitors up to ten numeric values from the received JSON data. It can show the following:
The OPC UA Server Status sensor monitors the server status, uptime, and diagnostic information of an OPC Unified Architecture (OPC UA) server. It can show the following:
The Windows System Uptime sensor monitors the uptime of a Windows system via Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) or Windows performance counters. It can show the following:
The HTTP Advanced sensor monitors the source code of a web page using HTTP. It supports authentication, content checks, and other advanced parameters. It can show the following:

PRTG is flexible enough to work wherever your site operates. Here are the most common deployment environments.
From manufacturing plants to hospital campuses to regional offices — teams like yours use PRTG to maintain local monitoring control inside larger organizations.
Dr. Erler Kliniken relies on PRTG to monitor IT and medical infrastructure 24/7, preventing downtime and ensuring reliable patient care through proactive diagnosis. For a hospital, monitoring isn't an IT nicety — it's part of the care pathway.
Adani Electricity Mumbai Limited runs its electricity distribution network's SCADA system on PRTG, now monitoring 300 power substations and more than 1,000 network devices feeding a 900-kilometer fiber network. Built-in alert routing gets the right technician to the right substation, every time — with the setup scaling further every year.
Bosch Rexroth uses PRTG to keep its networked Industry 4.0 production environment running — from ERP and MES systems down to shop-floor sensors — giving engineers the combination of predefined queries and flexible options they need to comprehensively and reliably monitor a complex industrial IT infrastructure.
Need to justify PRTG to regional leadership or a corporate procurement team? These resources can help.

Step-by-step guide for deploying PRTG in your environment — including auto-discovery and first sensor setup.
Talk to a Paessler monitoring expert who understands regional and site IT environments — and can help you build the case internally.
Yes, PRTG installs on a standard Windows server or workstation at your site. There’s no dependency on central IT infrastructure, and you don’t need corporate IT approval to get started. Your team controls the installation, configuration, and management entirely.
Yes, PRTG is designed to complement, not conflict with, central monitoring platforms. It gives your local team the visibility they need independently, while being able to forward alerts and status data to corporate tools via syslog, SNMP traps, email, or webhooks when needed.
Yes, PRTG supports industrial protocols including Modbus TCP, MQTT, and OPC UA alongside standard IT protocols like SNMP, WMI, and SSH. This makes it suitable for environments where IT and OT systems coexist — such as manufacturing plants, energy sites, or facilities with building management systems.
The strongest arguments are speed and local control. PRTG deploys in hours without professional services, sized with sensor-based licensing to fit a local budget. Most customers find that preventing even one significant outage pays for the tool many times over. Our team can help you build the business case if needed - including ROI framing for regional leadership.
PRTG uses sensor-based licensing, so you pay for the number of sensors you use — not the number of users, devices, or sites. A local site deployment covering 100–500 devices is typically a fraction of the cost of an enterprise-wide platform. We will support you in finding the right plan for your environment.
PRTG is designed for lean teams. Once deployed and configured, it runs continuously without daily intervention. Alerts notify your team when action is needed. Most teams spend a few hours on initial setup and occasional maintenance — not ongoing admin. No dedicated monitoring engineer is required.
Yes. Each site can run its own independent PRTG instance, or you can use remote probes to monitor additional locations from a single central installation. Many teams start with one site and expand as the value becomes visible to regional or divisional leadership. There's no need to renegotiate licensing from scratch - you scale what you already have.
Deploy in hours. Show results. When leadership asks how to roll it out to the next location - you'll already have the answer.
