Key Features of PRTG Network Monitor
Comprehensive Network Monitoring
PRTG offers complete network monitoring, covering a wide array of devices and services across your infrastructure. From servers and routers to virtual machines, firewalls, and cloud-based services, PRTG ensures you have a bird’s-eye view of your entire network environment. It supports a range of protocols like SNMP, WMI, HTTP, and more, providing flexibility to monitor any type of network device or application.
