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.

ADAudit Plus offers comprehensive insights into all activities within your Windows Server environment, ensuring both safety and compliance. This tool provides an organized perspective on modifications made to your Active Directory (AD) resources, encompassing AD objects, their attributes, group policies, and much more. By implementing AD auditing, you can identify and address insider threats, misuse of privileges, or other potential security breaches. It grants a thorough overview of all elements in AD, including users, computers, groups, organizational units, and group policy objects. You can monitor user management actions such as deletions, password resets, and changes in permissions, along with information detailing who performed these actions, what was done, when it happened, and where. To maintain a principle of least privilege, it's essential to track additions and removals from both security and distribution groups, enabling better oversight of user access rights. This ongoing vigilance not only helps in compliance but also fortifies the overall security posture of your server environment.

QuickMove
Every download, scan and export that lands in the wrong folder costs a drag and drop. QuickMove replaces that with a right-click: pick QuickMove and the file goes to the folder that kind of file always goes to. Rules are made once, in the Rule Wizard, by file name, extension or a pattern (regular expressions allowed), and applied silently ever after; a file no rule covers gets a list of your favourite folders instead. A move history with multi-step undo means nothing is lost. From the context menu you can override or edit a rule, route files into sub-folders by name, and have an existing file in the target renamed instead of overwritten. Add the Automation plugin (US$24.99) and QuickMove watches folders like Downloads and applies the rules by itself. Windows 11 first-page context menu. A single US$29.99 licence, paid once, with free minor updates; free edition and a 7-day trial. Windows 7 SP1 to 11 and Windows Server 2012 R2 and above. Email support within 24 hours.
