PRTG Network Monitor:
The perfect alternative
to SolarWinds
- All-in-one monitoring instead of a combination of tools
- PRTG is user-friendly and intuitive
- Quick setup and little hardware and software requirements
PRTG is your all-in-one network monitoring tool
PRTG incorporates all your network monitoring necessities into one tool. As a result, you won’t have to purchase any upgrades to acquire individual functions. The monitoring tools from SolarWinds, on the other hand, are built modularly, which means you must buy a separate pack to benefit from certain features (such as Flow monitoring).
Licensing
and Pricing of PRTG
Full range of functions with every license
The purchase price of PRTG depends on the number of sensors you will need for your monitoring. Each version comes with the full range of PRTG functions and features. Server monitoring, performance monitoring, VoIP monitoring, bandwidth monitoring including flow for top talkers and top protocols are all included at no extra charge, thus saving you the agony of trying to decide if certain functions are worth the extra money.
Save big with PRTG
Since many of the features of the monitoring software from SolarWinds are only available at an additional charge, it’s often extremely difficult to come up with just the right software bundle. If certain requirements change and the sysadmin must perform new tasks, the company usually has to purchase a new module. With PRTG, you will never face this problem. Every PRTG license contains all the tool’s functions. Our prices are more than fair and mostly easier to fit into your budget than the costs for SolarWinds monitoring software, which can quickly run into the tens of thousands.
The Doosan Group, for example, saved $ 30,000 by using PRTG instead of SolarWinds software.

Hardware and software
Little hardware and software requirements
To install PRTG, you only need one computer to act as a server. We recommend installing the PRTG Core Server on a computer that is no more than two years old and equipped with Windows Server version 2012 R2 or higher. SolarWinds can only be used with a SQL server. This results in additional costs, as well as more time spent on the software configuration. PRTG uses its own database, which has been specially designed to meet the demands of network monitoring. Tests have shown that the PRTG database is much faster than SQL.

A slick alternative: The hosted version of PRTG
The hosted version of PRTG comes with even fewer requirements. The tool is hosted by us, and can be accessed around the clock from anywhere in the world via the Internet.
PRTG is user-friendly
and intuitive
Network monitoring should be quick and easy. Cumbersome and complicated software creates unnecessary work for the administrator. Our goal is therefore to make PRTG as user-friendly as possible. If our customer feedback is any indication,
then we are very close to meeting this objective. Independent tests also continually emphasize the user-friendliness of PRTG.
When compared to other network monitoring software such as from SolarWinds, PRTG often rates as the most intuitive and easiest-to-use tool.
