Computer monitoring software with a customizable alerting system, like PRTG, ensures IT managers are immediately notified in the event of a major malfunction or disruption. Such software helps you prevent your computers and network from crashing.
4. How much does computer monitoring cost?
You can find everything from free computer monitoring software to tools that will cost several thousand dollars or euros per year. It all depends on your monitoring needs and the size of your network. PRTG offers flexible licenses so you can upgrade your monitoring as you please.

On average, you need about 5-10 sensors per device or one sensor per switch port.
