"This is a horrible solution and I think everything needs to be improved."
"The product could be improved by being cross-platform friendly."
"Other monitoring tools that I have used are easier to use."

"The thing that we do struggle with a bit is in the historic data. If I want look over 30 days, because it averages out onto one graph, you can't zoom in and drill down information."
"PRTG could use reporting tools and mobile alert tools. It should be easier to diagnose and respond to problems from a mobile device on the go."
"We would like to monitor certain aspects of the user experience. We should be able to analyze the cause of end user experience, bad or good, so we can do some research and development on our own."
"The scalability of this solution could improve as well as the automated provisioning of the infrastructure."
