Skip the plugins and integrations. Everything is built in — from traffic maps to interface charts to custom gauges.
We switched to NetCrunch for its built-in automation and alerting — fewer alerts, faster resolution, and no third-party tools to manage.
"The agentless setup and automatic discovery saved us weeks. NetCrunch delivers a clear, live view of the entire infrastructure without the usual complexity.”
"We have found in NetCrunch a complete monitoring tool which is very effective in adapting to our IT needs. NetCrunch offers powerful native network mapping and configuration capabilities, both effective and granular. "
"The features that distinguish NetCrunch from other solutions are its agent-less capabilities and the powerful, customizable dashboard with real-time network views."
"Thanks to the inheritance function and Monitoring Packs in NetCrunch, laborious configuration of every single node is the past now."
"The views in new NetCrunch are so easy to follow and work with. The design of the GUI is definitely very intuitive."

Stop stitching plugins together.
Start monitoring smarter.
We started with a vision: to monitor 100+ nodes at a time when others were counting to ten with sensors. It looked like overkill then, but now it’s the standard.
Monitoring 20–30 devices is something you can do at home. But real businesses manage tens of thousands of nodes and hundreds of thousands of metrics, changing every minute. That demands a real network monitoring platform — not plugins or a dozen stitched-together tools.
We’ve entered the observability era, where seeing everything isn’t enough. You need to understand, anticipate, and act. NetCrunch is a unified monitoring solution built for exactly that—from auto-discovery and dashboards to real-time alerts and network topology mapping.
Many of our customers come from other systems and have scars to show for it. Setting up monitoring shouldn’t take weeks. Adding 1,000 sensors individually — even at “2 minutes per sensor” — isn’t a solution. That’s why we offer initial setup assistance: wasting time on the basics helps no one.
We also built features others still don’t offer — like NetCrunch Connection Cloud, our secure, built-in VPN for remote access between server, console, and probes. Or our graphical view system that mixes live dashboards with custom diagrams — something you won’t find in Grafana or anywhere else. Add in easy sharing and embedding, over 20 ready-to-use integrations with external services, and full two-way API support — and you have a complete IT infrastructure monitoring platform in one package.
And here’s the difference: we solve real problems and fix them fast. While some vendors have promised Kerberos support for years, we shipped it over five years ago. We don’t fall behind tiers.
We deliver and support every customer as if production matters. Everything is included from the start — no modules to chase, no data to migrate, no surprises later.
NetCrunch is for teams that outgrow the patchwork and want a partner that grows with them.
Do I need to install agents on every device?
No. NetCrunch is agentless by design. It discovers and monitors devices using SNMP, WMI, APIs, and more — no installs required.
Can I embed or share dashboards outside my team?
Yes. You can share read-only views with external users or embed live dashboards in other portals using simple links or iframes.
Is setup really fast — even at scale?
Yes. We offer optional free setup help, and NetCrunch is designed for large-scale deployment from the start. You can onboard thousands of nodes without scripting or plugins.
What makes NetCrunch different from tools like PRTG or WhatsUp?
It’s truly all-in-one. No plugins, no hidden modules, no "you’ll need another product for that." Everything from traffic flow to alerting to dashboards is built in.
What if I need to grow — will I have to reinstall?
No. NetCrunch upgrades between editions without reinstallation or data loss. Just apply for a new license key, and you’re set.
