"Technical support is helpful."
"PRTG has improved our visibility and response time to issues related to remote sites."
"It is great for service level agreements and can comply fully with internet monitoring or any interface."

"The technical support seems to be quick, clever, and has a comprehensive knowledge base online, which is fantastic."

"PRTG would be improved if it required less memory to run."
"We're using more cloud services now. It would be useful to be able to get information back from these cloud services in detail, and display any issues within PRTG for the rest of our systems."
"I would like to see more updates available in this solution."
"Once you start going above 5000 sensors, things do start to get a bit shaky. There are some best practice out there that you will need to adopt and be aware of."
"The solution has to evolve as an end-to-end monitoring solution. It has to do better at understanding the application at the deepest level."
