What is AdRem NetCrunch?
NetCrunch is commercial, self-hosted, agentless network and IT infrastructure monitoring software for Windows Server. It monitors network devices, servers, virtualization platforms, cloud services including AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud, applications, websites, logs, telemetry, and custom data using technologies such as SNMP, WMI, REST APIs, and scripts.
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.
Real-time dashboards and automatic Layer 2 and routing topology maps provide visibility into network status and performance. NetCrunch supports event correlation, dependency-aware alert suppression, predictive thresholds, escalation, and 40+ automated response actions, including script execution, notifications, webhooks, and integrations with external IT and collaboration tools.
NetCrunch also provides hardware and software inventory, network device configuration backup and change tracking, bandwidth monitoring, and network traffic analysis using NetFlow, sFlow, IPFIX, and other flow technologies. Distributed Monitoring Probes extend monitoring to remote and isolated locations, while REST APIs support integration and automation with external systems.
NetCrunch is self-hosted on Windows Server and can monitor on-premises, air-gapped, cloud, and hybrid IT environments.
What is 10-Strike Network Monitor?
To guarantee comprehensive oversight of managed switches, uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), servers, CCTV systems, IP cameras, digital video recorders (DVR), printers, hard disk drives (HDD), network devices, and various services like databases and web servers—whether they are part of a local area network (LAN) or accessible via the Internet—it is essential to implement a robust monitoring strategy. You also have the flexibility to create custom scripts tailored for your monitoring needs. By leveraging the SNMP protocol, you can efficiently track various metrics and parameters within managed switches, while WMI can be employed to monitor CPU temperatures and other vital statistics on servers and workstations. The monitoring application is designed to generate alerts for any failures through sound notifications, logging, on-screen prompts, and messages sent via email or SMS, which can be facilitated using a mobile device connected via USB or a standalone 3G/4G modem that does not rely on an Internet connection. In addition to sending notifications, this versatile alerting system can proactively initiate corrective actions to resolve issues, such as executing scripts or restarting services and devices, thereby ensuring that normal operations are swiftly restored. Such a proactive approach not only addresses technical issues in a timely manner but also significantly reduces downtime and upholds the integrity of the entire system. Ultimately, this comprehensive monitoring and alerting framework fosters a more resilient and responsive IT environment.
