PRTG Catches Network Issues Before They Cause Downtime

Threshold-based alerts flag problems early, so your team can act before users notice, not after.

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.

    I have used movie thumbnailer for many years, and very successfully and with complete satisfaction in the results. A slight learning curve, but soon mastered. Highly recommended.

    looks nice, but I can't scroll down so I can't use it. I'm using Linux Mint... they should fix that

    getting error on install of exe file"mtn.exe not found in current directory - please place this file in the same directory as mtn.exe". impossible to do when extracting, the file needs recompiling by the looks of things
