Paessler - Monitor Your Whole Network in Minutes

Auto-discovery finds your devices and deploys pre-configured sensors instantly. No project plan required, just visibility from day one.

Waiting weeks for a monitoring rollout isn't an option when infrastructure doesn't stop running. PRTG's auto-discovery scans your network and suggests from over 200 pre-configured sensor types, so you're watching servers, applications and devices within minutes, not after a multi-week deployment. Enterprise-strength monitoring, without the enterprise complexity. Start your free trial today.
