Guy
recommends: The SolarWinds ipMonitor
I am attracted to
ipMonitor
because it inhabits that zone of part work, part play; Guy just could not put
the dashboard away. This excellent performance monitor will get you
started in the quest to remove bottlenecks on your network. SolarWinds
provides this fully-functioning product free for 21 days. So download and
install ipMonitor, then start scrutinizing your computers CPU, memory and disk
performance.
Installing ipMonitor is a breeze, but learn from gung-ho Guy's mistake, and
install SNMP on each computer that you wish to monitor. What sealed my
unreserved recommendation of SolarWinds is their support team, you will get
expert help even when you are evaluating the ipMonitor.
