With Network Monitor, you get everything you’d expect in a network monitoring tool – except high-cost and complexity. Plus, you get the flexibility you demand to customize for your environment with simple Visual Basic* scripts. Even big network monitoring challenges like SNMP trapping and Windows application services seem small with Network Monitor. Network Monitor beats the competition because it is:
