What is ServerSentinel?
ServerSentinel provides a versatile and reliable solution for overseeing your server, network services, and local resources. By gathering data from multiple sensors, the application employs rule-based alerts to inform users of any failures or irregularities. This functionality enables a detailed examination of recorded data, which can help prevent future system problems. Each sensor can be tailored to meet unique requirements, with general details like the name and check frequency outlined on the left side of the interface. Furthermore, users can configure specific metrics along with conditions and corresponding actions on the right side. The flexibility allows users to dictate any action that ServerSentinel should execute when particular criteria are fulfilled, including sending notifications through SMS or email, running scripts, or changing the status of hardware devices. Such a comprehensive approach to monitoring guarantees that users can sustain optimal performance, tackle issues proactively, and ensure long-term reliability in their systems. Ultimately, this empowers users to maintain a seamless operational environment.

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.
Pricing Information
$1600 for NetCrunch 50 nodes
NetCrunch licensing is based on the number of monitored nodes and network interfaces. Each node license includes one monitored interface, and additional interface licenses can be added when more network interfaces need to be monitored. Licensing is not based on individual sensors, checks, or metrics.
