PRTG lets you automatically search for available network devices and services. Thanks to a clear graphic user interface, the process of adding, editing, and deleting sensors is very intuitive. Zabbix, on the other hand, uses a highly technical automatic network discovery with countless SNMP commands.

PRTG has been monitoring my home network for years. So, no stress about devices/connections/internet etc. Works like a charm.

I am using the tool to check what is going on in my network. Very easy to use and perfect overview, what is connected and what is the status. I hope after the trial period, i can keep the setup for my little private netwerk in place. As a private person its a lot of money for the contract. For any company depending on a functional network, it would make a lot of sense to invest. If i had a compan like this, i would buy it.

All in all a really great tool, however it has it's few bugs and is hard to use as a unexperienced user. + Easy creation + Great autoscan + good default values + Licensed per Sensor, not by user or anything like that + Easy setup of remoteprobes + Great additional Tools like MIB-Splitter, SNMP-Tester...

What is great are the various ways you can configure sensors, especially custom sensors written in powershell, and to be able access rest api sites (or shelly devices) Also very good is the low cpu and memory load on the hosting system. I run it at home on a laptop. What can be approved: Connectors with grafana, more ways to access Azure monitor, better and more (custom) dynamic objects for maps, as i use it also to monitor non it systems But -important- the free tier for 100 sensors is very good
