Compare AdRem NetCrunch vs. SolarWinds IP Address Tracker

NetCrunch is a next-gen, agentless infrastructure and traffic network monitoring system designed for hybrid, multi-site, and fast changing infrastructures. It combines real-time observability with alert automation and intelligent escalation to eliminate the overhead and limitations of legacy tools like PRTG or SolarWinds. NetCrunch supports agentless monitoring of thousands of nodes from a single server-covering physical devices, virtual machines, servers, traffic flows, cloud services (AWS, Azure, GCP), SNMP, syslogs, Windows Events, IoT, telemetry, and more. Unlike sensor-based tools, NetCrunch uses node-based licensing and policy-driven configuration to streamline monitoring, reduce costs, and eliminate sensor micromanagement. 670+ built-in monitoring packs apply instantly based on device type, ensuring consistency across the network. NetCrunch delivers real-time, dynamic maps and dashboards that update without manual refreshes, giving users immediate visibility into issues and performance. Its smart alerting engine features root cause correlation, suppression, predictive triggers, and over 40 response actions including scripts, API calls, notifications, and integrations with Jira, Teams, Slack, Amazon SNS, MQTT, PagerDuty, and more.

SolarWinds® IPAM IP address tracking software automatically identifies the IPv4 addresses in your network and facilitates the creation of IPv6 subnets through an intuitive step-by-step wizard. It continuously scans the IP addresses in managed subnets utilizing ICMP, SNMP, and neighborhood scanning methods, ensuring that changes to MAC addresses, hostnames, and status (reserved, transient, in use, and available) are accurately logged and maintained. This automated feature allows for the retrieval of historical information related to any IP address over a designated timeframe. Additionally, the tool provides a timestamp that administrators can use to enhance their network troubleshooting efforts. By accessing comprehensive device information, network admins can swiftly analyze and resolve any issues that arise. Utilize the SolarWinds IP address tracker to pinpoint existing conflicts, determine which device originally held the IP address, and modify the IP of the conflicting device as necessary, thereby ensuring smoother network operations and reducing downtime.
