I have been working in this field for more than 5 years, and everyone knows that you have to monitor the established IT infrastructure at all times. There are many solutions like PRTG, but I prefer PRTG, which is chosen with both the convenience of the interface and a lot of features. It was very easy to set up and manage. And one of my favorite parts is that you can use licenses that are suitable for your environment, even if your environment grows in the future, there is no need to rebuild the license accordingly. I think the monitoring application is very important from the point of view of security and stability, and PRTG is the most suitable and convenient for me among these applications.
Pros
It was very easy to use in the first turn, moreover, it has sensors suitable for the desired device.
Cons
There are many network monitoring tools like PRTG, but PRTG had the most convenient and easy-to-use interface among them. It has many good features. I've been using PRTG for several years now and I'm very satisfied. There's nothing I don't like about it.

In general, PRTG is a very good product if you are looking for an option to monitor your infrastructure. It has interesting dashboards and templates that are quite good for creating management reports.
Pros
What my customers like most about PRTG is that it allows them to maintain a general overview of their overall infrastructure. This way, if they have any incidents or alerts, they can respond quickly. They also appreciate the product's price-to-quality ratio, as the price per node is approximately $3.
Cons
My customers' biggest complaint about this tool is that it lacks a wider range of features compared to its competitors. This is because it is literally only for monitoring. It does not allow me to remotely intervene in my infrastructure or make adjustments online. For this, I need to have other third-party tools to complement PRTG.
