Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"While I am not the person who deals with pricing, I would say that we pay around 1000 pounds a year."
"Sensors on free version can run out quick."
"The ability to use the base version with 100 free sensors is great. The cost on other packages can be very reasonable."
"We are satisfied with the price."
"PRTG Network Monitor is very expensive."
"When you have a lot of devices, PRTG Network Monitor can be costly."
"Cost was a factor when selecting this solution, but it just did everything we wanted it to do."
"It is about £4,500 for the first year, then about another 15 to 20 percent annually after that. So, we are looking at about £1000 running costs a year. When you think about how much an outage costs per minute, it's negligible."
