PRTG Network Monitor runs on a Windows machine within your network, collecting various statistics from the machines, software, and devices which you designate. PRTG comes with an easy-to-use web interface with point-and-click configuration. You can easily share data from it with non-technical colleagues and customers, including via live graphs and custom reports. This will let you plan for network expansion, see what applications are using most of your connection, and make sure that no one is hogging the entire network just to torrent videos.
To monitor a large IT environment, it's important to be able to scale PRTG up. Paessler PRTG Enterprise Monitor includes all the proven capabilities of PRTG Network Monitor, which are enhanced by exclusive ITOps Board for a service-oriented, central overview of multiple PRTG servers.
The StackState AIOps platform is a unique offering as we combine:
- Topology – view all components and all their dependencies, on prem and cloud;
- Telemetry – see all metrics, events and logs per component, regardless of its source;
- Tracing – insights into end-to-end customer journey at code level;
- Time travelling – travel back to any moment in time.
We make this possible through our unique version graph database (the so called 4T model).
Again, all combined in one model, one view. Future ready as new technologies will be launched and will be included into StackState’s AIOps platform.
On top of this platform we offer state of the art AI capabilities for:
- Root Cause Analysis;
- Impact Analysis;
- Predictive Analytics;
- Anomaly detection;
- Remediation and Automation
This helps our customer to drastically reduce Root Cause Analysis (RCA) and Mean Time To Repair (MTTR). All together this makes StackState the only vendor today which makes AIOps a reality.
