Network Monitoring is essential for every network administrator. It determines how effective your IT team is at solving problems or even completely eliminating them. Even small organizations need visibility of what is happening within their network environment.

Netmon’s complete Network Monitoring Solution can also be used as a centralized SYSLOG and Windows Event Log Server where you can quickly look through many Servers, Workstations or other Network devices’ SYSLOG and Event Log information without having to log into each individual device to see the same information.
