With CommView you can see the list of network connections and vital IP statistics and examine individual packets. Packets are decoded down to the lowest layer with full analysis of the most widespread protocols. Full access to raw data is also provided. Captured packets can be saved to log files for future analysis. A flexible system of filters makes it possible to drop packets you don’t need or capture only those packets that you wish to capture. Configurable alarms can notify you about important events, such as suspicious packets, high bandwidth utilization, or unknown addresses.

CommView includes a VoIP module for in-depth analysis, recording, and playback of SIP and H.323 voice communications.

Overseer supports monitoring multiple types of resources. Ping allows you to monitor any computer or network device to make sure it is connected to the network. The HTTP/HTTPS resource type allows you to monitor your websites to make sure they’re responding to user’s requests. The Windows Service resource type allows you to monitor services running on Windows NT/2000/XP/2003 servers. The Windows Event Log resource type allows you to monitor event logs from your Windows computers. And the Available Disk Space resource type will regularly poll your servers’ hard drives to make sure they don’t run out of space. The new Process Monitor allows you to make sure your critical non-service processes are still running.

Overseer can be configured to send notifications after a resource has been down for a certain amount of time, re-send notifications at specific intervals, stop sending once a certain period of time has elapsed and even notify you once a resource comes back on-line.

Longitude monitors hundreds of vital performance metrics, alerts you to problems, solves problems proactively, tracks SLA performance, and generates reports and graphs that demonstrate just how well your applications, operating system, network, databases, web servers, and messaging servers are performing. An easy to use, graphical SNMP Studio extends your monitoring to include any SNMP-based network device or application. Longitude even correlates related events across monitored components to trigger intelligent alerts and actions, so you immediately understand the business impact of a situation. Best of all, everything is presented in real time dashboard views that let you drill down to investigate problems and find answers fast.

Longitude helps you keep tabs on Service Level Agreements based on established system and application performance metrics, as well as end user experience measurements. A real time SLA dashboard gives you an up to the minute, graphical view of service level performance, as well as historical reporting and drill-down capabilities to investigate shortfalls in service compliance. With Longitude, service conditions can be defined individually or can combine a variety of performance metrics to emulate true business service conditions.

Longitude is available in three editions: Longitude Standard Edition, intended to match the needs and budgets of small to medium sized businesses; Longitude Professional Edition for mid-size to large companies and Longitude Enterprise Edition for larger enterprise installations. Features and pricing vary by package.

You always have the opportunity to check any aspect of a utility, server or file system: HTTP, FTP, SMTP/POP3, IMAP, Event Log, Service State, Registry and more.

The time when you were running from one computer to another to check the state of certain utilities and applications and waiting for complaints from annoyed users is irrevocably gone! Total Network Monitor allows you to create monitor lists and customize them according to your needs. Just press “Check All Monitors” and you always get updated information about the state of all network computers and utilities.

Your network monitoring project includes three important object groups: devices, monitors and actions. Each device can comprise one or more monitors. A monitor consists of a probe and a list of actions. In the case of a probe failure a certain monitor will run its list of actions intended for your quick alerting about predictable failure. Total Network Monitor gives you an ultimately convenient opportunity to monitor the state of devices and monitors.

Total Network Monitor has a variety of probes divided into three big groups: Internet, Windows and Miscellaneous. Press “Add Monitor”, select probe type, set main parameters, run it and the state of the remote utility will immediately appear before your eyes.

IsItUp continuously monitors multiple “pingable” devices using TCP/IP’s Ping utility; it tests email servers by bouncing messages off auto-reply accounts and websites by using HTTP.

nVision monitors mail servers, web servers and URLs, TCP/IP and Windows services, applications health and performance (MS SQL, Exchange, etc.), switches and routers (port mapper and network traffic). The network is automatically discovered and presented on interactive graphical map.

nVision automatically collects node hardware and software information: model, CPU, memory, main board, drives, cards, etc., installed applications and Windows updates. It allows license usage auditing and verification. It will also alert you in case of a program installation or any configuration change.

Optional agents can monitor user activity: user activity/inactivity time, application usage, visited web pages, bandwidth usage. The agent also provides workstation remote control.

MIB compiler enables you to add new MIB files, which facilitate SNMP information from all network devices: switches, routers, printers, VoIP devices etc. The program can now effectively monitor thousands of different SNMP devices.

The program provides a wide range of alerts and reports: real-time and historical charts, system & application performance, service and host availability, interface traffic and utilization, inventory, user activity.

Thanks to the Web Access function, a number of administrators can have a simultaneous access to the program - they can access nVision via a WWW browser - at the same time and from any place.
