PRTG Catches Network Issues Before They Cause Downtime
Reactive troubleshooting usually means hearing about a problem from frustrated users, not your monitoring tool. PRTG sets threshold-based alerts across devices, servers and applications, notifying your team by email, SMS or push the moment a metric crosses a set limit. That means catching a failing disk or overloaded server before it becomes an outage and getting time back from firefighting. Start a free trial and set your first alerts today.

5 out of 5 starsDoes the job nicely.

4 out of 5 starsThis program works and is useful. The UI leaves something to be desired, at least when running on Linux Mint Cinnamon. Sourceforge offers version 3.6.1 but, oddly, Mint's repositories has a version that seems to be newer. The program itself, when installed from the Mint repository, identifies itself merely as version '3.6.', but `apt list linssid` shows '3.6-7build1'; and trying to install the Sourceforge version over the repository version generates a warning about a downgrade.

5 out of 5 starsSimply what I was looking for, a simple and easy tool to scan spots from a wifi network with easy configuration and graphical intuitive interface (time line) for linux (Ubuntu). It worked like a charm just out of the box! Great!!
