About

NetCrunch is a powerful, scalable, all-in-one network monitoring system built for modern IT environments. It supports agentless monitoring of thousands of devices, covering SNMP, servers, virtualization (VMware, Hyper-V), cloud (AWS, Azure, GCP), traffic flows (NetFlow, sFlow), logs, and custom data via REST or scripts. With 670+ monitoring packs and dynamic views, it automates discovery, configuration, alerting, and automates self-healing actions for efficient remote remediation in response to alerts. Its node-based licensing eliminates sensor sprawl and complexity, providing a clear, cost-effective path to scale. Real-time dashboards, policy-driven setup, advanced alert tuning and 40+ alert actions including remote script execution, service restart, process kill or device reboot-make NetCrunch ideal for organizations replacing legacy tools like PRTG, SolarWinds, or WhatsUp Gold. Fast to deploy and future-proof. Can be installed on-prem, self-hosted in the cloud, or mixed.
