NetTools is another server monitoring software that shows promise. The main advantage of NetTools is at the same time its biggest disadvantage. The software program runs on a Windows computer which means that it’s virtually impossible to let it monitor servers 24/7 unless the computer is always on.
The Server Monitoring Software however is offering a wealth of tools and options to monitor networks, servers and websites of which some are restricted to the commercial version of the monitoring software. The user can add a number of IPs or domain names that should be monitored by the software. It monitors response time and packets in real time and graphs that display the data as well.
Alerts can be set if the host is not responding or if the server response time or packet loss rate reaches a certain number. Four events can be configured: Message on the desktop, send an email, play a sound or show an icon in the system tray.
The free version of NetTools provides access to several network tools like Ping, Lookup or Trace but also more advanced tools like network and host scans.
I personally think it’s a bit unfortunate to mix free and commercial versions into the free version which might confuse the user at the beginning. Networking Monitoring Software Look@Lan offers most of the features as well but is completely free.
