Pros from Real Users Pros NetCrunch helps us to effectively monitor our networks. We can easily able to monitor IP addresses which helps us to reduce security risk. Diagnostic tools are well organized and easy to use. It keeps track of services, and it can even scan uncommon ports and run scripts in response to alarms. Great tool for network monitoring. Whether it's Windows, Linux or network environment or something else, it can monitor complete IT network. There are many monitoring multipack included with it that can be manually added to the nodes that are monitoring or are discovered automatically. AdRem NetCrunch helps us to track and monitor all our devices in our organisation. It provides real time alerts about the defects found. We can monitor devices remotely, during holidays also. NetCrunch provides us benefits to diagnose the problems and improve the efficiency of our IT Infrastructure. It is very proactive software that keep our devices connected to our network and monitor them safely. Excellent tool, after we started using NetCrunch, our users are really happy with the support and services they are getting and the improved and prompt help they are receiving. Best tool to analyse IoT data. We can easily able to detect and collect critical IoT data for our business purpose. We can easily analyse different data and get maximum benefit from it. Their customer service is awesome. I have been using NetCrunch since 2 years and have been using in my IT infrastructure. I discovered it when looking for a monitoring tool online and we have been together since long time. With the most recent upgrades to gGrafCrunch visualization. One of the most impressive features of NetCrunch is its ability to automatically detect all devices connected to the network, which makes setup much easier, it also performs network mapping, giving us a complete view of how all devices are connected. devices on our network. This feature allows us to identify potential configuration issues and take steps to fix them before they become a bigger problem, it also alerts us to any issues that may be occurring on devices on our network. With this tool, we can receive instant notifications in case something is not working properly. This tool offers seamless implementation and management and boasts a robust network monitoring capability. It features a vast array of monitoring packs that can be automatically detected or manually added to the nodes you monitor. This gives it a competitive edge, although there are rumors that the licensing may change in the future. While we encountered some minor monitoring issues, the support team was highly responsive, providing professional and skilled assistance within the same day.		Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros Splunk is top of the line for logging. But that means paying a lot every month, and keeping a lot of data, so make sure you actually need detailed logging. If you do, Splunk has a lot of built in functions to analyze your logging data and help your business be more insightful. Customizable dashboards. Can consume multiple log sources. Extensive and deep search feature. Search Queries can be converted to apps. Alert system based on log data. Cons If you only need some of the metrics and not all the logs, getting Splunk means you're wasting money and overengineering your analytics process. You can use an open source metrics system like Prometheus instead if that's what you need. It's also super easy to accidentally get false alerts on Splunk, and that will not make your oncall engineers happy. Steep learning curve. Search can be slow for huge logs. Expensive.
