"Network visibility is the most valuable feature."

"I would boldly say that this is the most scalable network monitoring tool that I know of"
"One of the valuable features is the diversity of metrics available to us to monitor. It's all there, it's all in the box. It's all made very easy, by virtue of it being pre-configured."
"The email notifications are helpful, and the dashboards are user-friendly for people with little network monitoring knowledge."
"The most valuable features of PRTG Network Monitor are bandwidth utilization, user-friendliness, all past report simple retrievals, and timeout features. Additionally, if the solution does go down it is simple to bring it back."
"I can create my own program sensor. This means I can add extra monitoring capabilities into the already fundamentally strong foundation."
"PRTG is integrated on Windows."
"The reporting module is easy to configure."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The pricing and AI can be improved."
"Along with more room for automation, more room for advanced configuration can be integrated into the solution."
"Performance-wise, PRTG Network Monitor still needs improvement because a large number of SNMPv3 queries reduces tool performance."
"It would be good if there were better graphical interfaces when you have it on multiple monitors... Because we have so many servers, things can get lost in the fog a little bit. Maybe having a better way of showing different geographies, Flash, etc., would help."
"Technical support is an area with concerns in PRTG Network Monitor, where improvements are required."
"The database needs improvement."
"We've had some issues previously with the performance of the sensors. We tend to deploy quite a bit of WMI, which is quite processor-intensive, and we've found that that impacts the sensors quite a bit."
"PRTG Network Monitor could improve by having descriptions for the tab usages. The dashboards or interface could be easier to understand."
"Can be slow in the way it polls the different engines."
