What is Paessler PRTG?

PRTG is network monitoring first, with mapping delivered through its map and dashboard builder rather than as a standalone topology tool. Its licensing model is the thing to understand: you buy sensors, not devices or users. A sensor is one monitored aspect of one device, so a single switch might consume several.

Paessler publishes the ladder openly. PRTG 500 is $200 per month paid annually and is described as enough for multiple aspects of 50 devices; PRTG 1000 is $358 for around 100 devices; PRTG 2500 is $742 for around 250; PRTG 5000 is $1,300 for around 500; and PRTG 10000 is $1,642 for around 1,000 devices. Above that, PRTG Enterprise Monitor is quoted. The wider family includes PRTG Hosted Monitor for a SaaS deployment and PRTG UVexplorer, which is where deeper network discovery and topology mapping sits. A free trial is available.

Paessler PRTG FAQs

PRTG is all-in-one network monitoring software covering devices, traffic and applications, with map and dashboard building for visualising the network.

By sensor, not by device or user. A sensor monitors one aspect of one device, so a single switch may use several. Licences are named for their sensor count, from PRTG 500 up to PRTG 10000.

PRTG 500 is $200 per month paid annually, PRTG 1000 is $358, PRTG 2500 is $742, PRTG 5000 is $1,300 and PRTG 10000 is $1,642. PRTG Enterprise Monitor is quoted separately.

Paessler guides roughly 50 devices for PRTG 500, 100 for PRTG 1000, 250 for PRTG 2500, 500 for PRTG 5000 and 1,000 for PRTG 10000, based on monitoring multiple aspects of each device.

PRTG builds maps and dashboards natively, and PRTG UVexplorer in the same product family covers deeper network discovery and topology mapping.
