NetSpy

NetSpy is a handy tool for keeping tabs on your company's network. It uses something called Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) to gather and manage info about all sorts of devices connected to your network.

What Does NetSpy Do?

The cool thing about NetSpy is that it can find and scan devices from over 100 different manufacturers! If your device follows SNMP standards, this software can pull in all kinds of useful information about it. So whether you’re using Cisco, Cabletron, Enterasys, Extreme, Microsoft, or even Linux devices, NetSpy has got you covered!

Keep an Eye on Your Network

This tool helps network admins get a clear visual of various hosts and devices like hubs, switches, routers, and more. It’s super important for managing the expensive WAN bandwidth your company uses.

Track WAN Usage

NetSpy not only monitors your WAN links live but also keeps records of usage for inventory purposes. You can track bytes transmitted and any violations that pop up.

User-Friendly Features

This software is well-accepted across the industry for managing computer networks. It supports private MIBs from many common network devices. Plus, it gives detailed info about cards, memory, power supplies, processors, and sensors in each device.
