One feature I miss is an hourly notification system. Once every hour our old monitoring program would send an email that could notify you about how many sensors were UP and how many were DOWN, and what the down sensors were.
I find that feature very valuable and comforting, and I would suggest that PRTG develop such a feature. Even if nothing is down, it tells you that PRTG itself is up and running, and reminds you of the state of all sensors at that moment.
