ipMonitor won Network World's 2008 Best of the Tests, delivering an impressive score of 4.7 out of 5 in the competitive network management category!
 |
According to Network World, "ipMonitor put in the best performance in our test of lower-cost network management tools. It quickly and accurately discovered applications, servers, devices and services on part or all of a network. Even more impressive was its ability to group the results by IP address or domain name and to suggest what to monitor more closely. It is the choice tool for monitoring client and server connectivity problems, application issues and operating-system faults in Windows shops." |
