"The most valuable aspect is the diverse range of features it offers."
"We can see trends for a lot of different things, such as hard drive space and bandwidth usage. We can see and plan for the future by knowing, "We're sort of at 75% capacity now. In three months time, we know we're going to be up to 90%,so we need to plan ahead for it, getting upgrades booked in place." Since things like this take time and effort, it's handy to see trends into the future of where our company is going."

"Ability to create a dashboard inside software monitoring."

"Improvements in data storage flexibility, such as allowing customers to specify data retention periods, would enhance PRTG."
"I would like a more straightforward ability to create dashboards and maps. The network maps should be a bit more flexibility in the GUI to do what we need to do."
