The best features PRTG Network Monitor offers that I find most helpful allow me to analyze and check the jobs and what is causing the issue and why it is happening. I actually found one critical job which we did not notice by ourselves, but this tool found it and helped us so that I got a good appreciation from my manager. This has been very useful for us to monitor these kinds of jobs. PRTG Network Monitor helped me find that critical job through an alert which sends us reports on a weekly basis, and based on that, we found the failed job. PRTG Network Monitor has a good dashboard that shows each and every piece of information, so we can easily find out what is happening with the systems. If anything is going down, I can easily identify and fix it immediately and make sure our systems are healthy. PRTG Network Monitor has positively impacted my organization as we are not seeing any critical issues or major impacts for our applications, our servers, and our networks nowadays. Because of this monitoring dashboard, we can easily find out what's happening and fix everything on the fly. Before that, it was very difficult to check what happened and where the servers were impacted and which servers got impacted if any major disaster happened.

When I use PRTG Network Monitor, it shows which servers go down or crash, displaying real-time reports and related information. We have configured PRTG Network Monitor to trigger an alert if any sensor or server goes down for more than five minutes. PRTG Network Monitor shows cause and effect clearly. For example, when our internet link failed, it displayed which dependent services were impacted. The feature in PRTG Network Monitor improved communication within my team since everyone can see the same dashboard. It saves me from constant manual checks as everything I care about is automatically tracked. PRTG Network Monitor has positively impacted my organization because it shows cause and effect clearly. We can see the real-time dashboard and take immediate action based on that. PRTG Network Monitor helped us detect the failing RAID controller before it completely collapsed, allowing us to avoid potential data loss.

The auto-pause sensor during the maintenance window is good without any false alerts, and it prevents me from getting flooded with alerts during planned maintenance, helping department heads understand their own network usage better. It has reduced incident response time by giving clearer ownership of each alert, ensuring alerts go to the proper recipient. SNMP testers and auto-pause are among the best features of PRTG Network Monitor, which is particularly useful for different departments such as HR and finance, where alerts can be filtered accordingly. The alerting features and dashboard of PRTG Network Monitor are very helpful, especially in our industry.
