Good app for network monitoring
This is an excellent addition to an already brilliant network monitoring tool. I don't know how I ever managed before PRTG. I now have a complete view of everything on my networks, and am able to take action before any user systems are affected when something fails.
Love it!
I have been using the iPRTG iPhone app since day 1 and this new version is a HUGE improvement over v1! The update period between v1 and v2 seemed an eternity, and I was honestly losing faith v2 would ever see the light of day.
The new version allows me to acknowledge alerts which was my single biggest pet peeve of the previous version. The new status screen is FAST and refreshes quickly - I like the animated progress meter at the top of the screen.
Sensor details are now populated (last check, last up, last down, uptime %, downtime %) and the graphs & channels are quickly available. The # of sensors in each status is easily visible just like with the Windows GUI.
Top 10 lists are available for "Best Uptime", "Slowest Ping", "Highest Bandwidth Usage", etc... which is very nice addition. I am not currently using MAPS in PRTG, but iPRTG supports them which means I may look into this.
I wish I had the ability to view logs and todos.
My only complaint, which others have mentioned as well, is that this app is not native iPad friendly :( I took off one star for that, and hope this is addressed soon.
In conclusion - if PRTG is part of your daily life and have an iPhone, you WANT this app. I am VERY happy with my purchase.

Priceless tool
An excellent addition to a superb tool kit. Keep developing! How about use of push notifications when alarms trigger? More administrative control over system settings?
Nifty app
I have been reading all the reviews and finally decided to install it on my iPhone. Its been 4 days and I am thoroughly impressed. Nice graphs, clear view of alarms (noted with a few 'gotchas' by many of the reviewers).
I would like to see Paessler provide users with options to create / customize as many dashboards as one likes.

Great but little pricey
Great app that compliments the server software well. Would be 5 stars but I thought price was a little high at the time I bought it considering we'd already spent out a fair amount on the server software.
PRTG eye of the storm
A nice, simple overview of everything happening around you, especially when routing tables are corrupted or you need to know when abnormal traffic patterns rear their head.
I was blown away by the system's delivery of warnings on deviations on traffic and resource usage, and having it on my iPad means I know within seconds when something goes wrong on my network, or at my colo facilities.
It's not cheap, but it is worth every single cent you pay for it.

Great Application
Works well if you have a PRTG installation. Really handy, would be nice have the ability of creating new sensors, or clone existing sensors from the application. Otherwise it's does the job of providing quick access to sensor information well.

Looks good but needs improvement
I just purchased this app today so I cannot say I have seen all of its features, but when it comes to the monitoring screen where all devices are listed under a folder, it shows the device name with its selected icon (nice) and below it the number of sensors in warning, error, up or paused state.
Worth mentioning is that is no sensor is in error state, it does not show the word error.
I understand space is an issue, but the use of orange for warning, red for error, green for up and blue for paused could be used to help visually detect devices in distress. As it is now, you have to read carefully the small print to see if there are any showing the word error or warning below each device name name.

Every pro should have this!!!
I have a complex network that is critical in nature that any issues be resolved or planned for as the consequences could literally be disastrous! The advanced feature set allows me to produce network diagrams for non-technical personnel to monitor. The application on my phone means I am always making the call into operations before they know there is an issue. I feel blind without this product.
