Monitoring

Why i hate PRTG

PRTG is the monitoring solution developed by Paessler, a German company. Well, I say German, but they’ve recently been bought by US private equity, which has already led to increased licensing costs.

…We do love private equity.

I, however, don’t love PRTG. I’ve been working with it for a few years now, managing a rather large deployment in my current position, and it’s been an experience. While the UX/UI is acceptable (but only just), there are two major reasons for my disdain.
