PathSolutions TotalView continuously monitors and tracks the performance of every device and every link in your entire network, going deeper than other solutions by collecting error counters, performance data, configuration information and connectedness. A built-in heuristics engine analyzes all of this information to produce plain-English answers to problems. This means that complex problems can be solved by junior level engineers leaving the senior level engineers to work on more strategic level projects. The core product includes everything needed to run a perfectly healthy network: Configuration management, server monitoring, cloud service monitoring, IPAM, NetFlow, path mapping, and diagramming.
