IP monitor och Netinfo är ett mycket enkelt verktyg för nätverksadministratörer som vill själv ta kontrollen över funktionerna i sin IT miljö. Med IP monitor sätter du enkelt upp de enheter du vill övervaka och vid fel får du larm via epost såväl en kvittens om när felet är korrigerat. Du får information om svarstider och alla händelser loggas på ett överskådligt sätt. NetInfo som medföljer innehåller 15 olika funktioner för att snabbt påbörja felsökningen.

För mer avancerad övervakning rekommenderar vi dock ELM Enterprise Manager, men det attraktiva priset på IP Monitor gör det till ett mycket bra och prisvärt verktyg. Några funktioner att nämna nedan:
