To select a suitable network monitoring solution for your business, you need to think about a variety of factors.

Network monitoring is essential for any organization with a network.

Tagging for modern infrastructure: While traditional network monitoring tools focus on datacenter device health, a modern solution should enable you to troubleshoot communication between all network endpoints by autodetecting internal and cloud services, orchestrated containers, VPCs, and external APIs.

One is - how fast can your team implement and run it - is it predefined, rule-based monitoring that is fast to install? How automated is network discovery and monitoring setup - to what extent it requires a manual, one-by-one implementation that comes with high initial consulting fees and training? Will you need a team member to tune it full-time in the long run as your network changes? How easy is it to transfer the system to be used by someone else? Is the system know-how kept in the software or in the human brain?

To modernize your networking monitoring approach, look for a comprehensive cloud-based network and IT infrastructure monitoring solution.

If your infrastructure is spread out geographically, a good network monitoring solution can separate each location to provide visibility into how they are performing.
