NetCrunch is commercial, self-hosted, agentless network and IT infrastructure monitoring software for Windows Server. It monitors network devices, servers, virtualization platforms, cloud services, applications, websites, logs, telemetry, and network traffic across distributed environments. NetCrunch supports 680+ monitoring targets and provides 270+ ready-to-use Monitoring Packs for devices, applications, and operating systems. Policy-based monitoring automatically applies monitoring settings, Monitoring Packs, thresholds, and alerts to matching devices and systems. Licensing is based on monitored nodes and network interfaces rather than individual sensors, checks, or metrics. NetCrunch provides real-time dashboards and automatic Layer 2 and routing topology maps for visibility into network status and performance. Network traffic analysis supports NetFlow, sFlow, IPFIX, and other flow technologies. Its alerting system supports event correlation, dependency-aware suppression, predictive thresholds, escalation, and 40+ automated response actions, including scripts, notifications, API calls, and integrations with external systems. Distributed Monitoring Probes extend monitoring to remote and isolated locations. NetCrunch also provides a REST API for integration and automation with external IT management, service management, and operational systems. NetCrunch is self-hosted on Windows Server and can monitor on-premises, air-gapped, cloud, and hybrid IT environments.

Statseeker is a powerful network performance monitor solution. It's fast, scalable, and cost-effective. Statseeker requires only one server or virtual machine to be up and running in minutes. It can also discover your entire network in under an hour without any significant impact on your bandwidth availability. It can monitor networks of all sizes, polling upto one million interfaces every sixty second, and collecting network data like SNMP, ping, NetFlow (sFlow, and J-Flow), sylog and trap messages, SDN configuration, and health metrics. Statseeker performance data are never averaged or rolled up. This eliminates the guesswork when it comes to identifying over- and underestimated infrastructure, root cause analysis, capacity planning, and other tasks. Statseeker's complete data retention means the in-built analytic engine can accurately detect anomalies in performance and forecast network behaviour months in advance. This allows network admins to plan and perform cost-effective, preventative maintenance, instead of fire-fighting problems as they occur. Statseeker's dashboards and out-of-the box reports allow you to troubleshoot and fix problems in your network before users are aware.
