Benefits |
|
| Agentless Monitoring |
Reduces implementation and deployment time. No agents installed on target servers - leads to non-invasive monitoring. |
|
|
| Integrated monitoring across networks, servers, applications, databases and middleware |
Rich monitoring support for key performance indicators available out of the box. Ensures quick and reliable root cause analysis. Avoids need to have multiple point tools. |
|
|
| Embeds Netsol's expertise in managing IT infrastructure |
Does not require experts to operate and use SNAPPiMON. Ability to leverage junior or lesser skilled resources to detect and monitor IT infrastructure for availability and performance issues |
|
|
| Real Time dashboards |
Multiple out of the box dashboards ensures quick identification of IT availability and performance issues and quicker resolution. |
|
|
| Historical Reports |
Multiple out of the box reports allows for better problem determination, enhanced capacity planning. Trend based reports allow for better correlation analysis. |
|
|
| IT Service Management |
Minimizes impact of negative IT issues on business. Allows analysis of impact of IT availability and performance on business in real-time and over a historical period (day, month, quarter and year). Allows identification and prioritization of IT events that impact business critically. |
|
|
| Automated Script Engine |
Allows extensibility by allowing user defined scripts to be used for monitoring custom elements or business process. |
|
|
| Automated actions |
Allows IT administrators to leverage their tried and trusted scripts to take corrective, preventive actions or to gain additional understanding by executing scripts for diagnosis as performance and availability issues are detected. |
|
|
| Agentless Discovery |
Eliminates need to add elements to be monitored manually. L3 and L2 level topology is detected automatically - leading to better understanding of IT infrastructure including network connectivity. |
|
|
| Flexible correlation |
Allows quick root cause analysis of issues by allowing correlation of events from various IT elements including networks, servers, applications, databases, middleware, etc. Provides a comprehensive view of an IT environment leading to faster resolultion of IT issues. |
|
|
| Secure and strong permissions driven access control |
SSL based support for web browser based user interface ensures data security and privacy during information access.
