Comments and Reviews
The NetCrunch network monitoring suite now comes with FREE unlimited remote access during the month of August as part of AdRem Software's SysAdmin Day promotion.
NetCrunch is an all-in-one and agentless network, server, application, file, log and web monitoring suite. It runs on Windows Server and only needs 4GB RAM and 4 cores. It features an embedded database, with no limits on the size or length of time you keep your data.
I have been using Netcrunch since version 8. The initial setup was very simple even for somebody like me, as I’m not exactly a networking guy. The Dashboards make it easy to stay on top of the network. Being able to configure the way that we get alerted (email, sms, etc) gave us the freedom we were looking for.
The setup is very intuitive, and quick - it all just took a few minutes, and we were done. The Dashboard layout makes it easy to manage our network. Our network is made up of a lot of Windows servers, Cisco routers, access points, and Linux machines - so it's really diverse - yet NetCrunch is able to handle it all. All in all, it's a real workhorse, we're just happy with it. I have been using NetCrunch since version 6. The Dashboards make it easy to manage all the different devices throughout our network locations in different parts of the country, and especially recently with the new widgets. Tech support is quick, and often offers to connect remotely to assist with any configuration, and questions. It also helps that they release new updates about 4 times a year, constantly introducing new things.
Our network is made up of a lot of Cisco devices, and NetCrunch's build in Nbar support, and the ability to add widgets, and create custom maps of the different locations that we have - just make sense to go with NetCrunch. Also, the build in MiB compiler makes it easy to for us to monitor the generic devices
AdRem Software is building a Grafana fork for their NetCrunch network monitoring system!
We've been using NetCrunch since version 8.2 and it's fabulous. We shifted over from a competitor's product that had limited scalability. We have over 80,000 sensors currently on our installation of NetCrunch, and it's running on a VM without hiccups. Definitely a powerful, and most importantly fast, piece of software. The GUI update in 8.5 was fabulous, and our multi-screen setup looks great, especially with one screen showing a rotation of some of our less critical screens. Definitely give NetCrunch a try, it's got unbelievable bang for the buck.
Hey guys,
If you're gonna be at Interop Las Vegas, you can enter to win a LEGO S.H.I.E.L.D. HeliCarrier on-site at booth #2267 from AdRem Software.
If not, they're still offering a 2nd one for following them on twitter and posting during the week of Interop!
