Network Performance Management Increasingly Important?

The IT network environment is becoming ever more complex with the proliferation of virtualized components, cloud-based services, and BYOD (Bring your own device), and understanding how resources are being consumed and why slowdowns are occurring is critically important.

In addition to standard metrics like response time, availability, and uptime, consistency and reliability are measured against clearly defined performance benchmarks and are becoming the norm. For these reasons, network performance monitoring tools are becoming crucial for IT environments.

Network Performance Monitoring Software Comparison

When considering different network performance monitoring tools, consider the following aspects of each product offering.

  1. Scalability: Network performance monitoring solutions often include different pricing plans depending on things like the number of connected devices. When purchasing a network performance monitoring solution, consider how much growth you expect for your network. Be sure to select a solution that can handle your needs both now and for the foreseeable future.
  2. Security: Some network performance monitoring tools include security features to protect your network, but some do not. Even tools that do offer security features are not usually as robust as fully-featured network security tools. Consider what security features each network performance monitoring tool offers and supplement it with appropriate security software.
  3. Requirements: Network monitoring tools widely vary in the features they provide. Simple, less expensive solutions may alert you to any network downtime. In contrast, more advanced solutions provide detailed information that allows for problem-solving before issues affect end-users. Consider what advanced features you need when choosing a network monitoring tool.

Pricing Information

Network performance monitoring tools are most commonly sold as a one-time license or perpetually licensed, although limited free versions are often available for very small networks. Network performance monitoring pricing scales with the scope of the buyer's network. One-time purchase plans are usually structured as tiers of coverage, with each tier providing support up to a certain threshold of devices and/or servers. Perpetual licenses are more granular, with pricing scaling per device monitored. Network performance monitoring plans targeted towards smaller business networks start around $2,000 for one-time purchases and can range up towards $60,000 for large-scale enterprise plans. Perpetual license pricing can vary as well. Some open-source network monitoring tools are free to use but may require more advanced users for setup and maintenance.

Additionally, some network performance monitoring software is open-source and free to use. For these products, vendor support and/or official add-ons may be paid services on top of the free platform.
