Top 10 PRTG Alternatives for Monitoring Networks and IT Infrastructure

1

Auvik

You install a local Auvik collector on your network which can be a Windows service, a virtual appliance or a dedicated Linux box. The collector is responsible to securely send network monitoring information to the cloud Auvik service.

LibreNMS

Observium is similar to LibreNMS (which is a fork of it) and comes in Enterprise, Professional and Community Editions, so you have a free version if you want to try it out. It is more a network centric tool instead of a systems monitoring tool.

Checkmk

Those wanting to monitor databases as part of their network analysis can do so with Checkmk, as well as track Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity and performance, the latter being sometimes tricky with other network monitoring software.
