There are many things that could go wrong. It could be the application, the network or even the underlying virtual machines. How do you quickly get to the bottom of the issue and set things right?

You need to measure the end user experience of your applications and network services such as Ping, DNS, LDAP and Mail server from multiple locations using Applications Manager. These locations could be your enterprise branch offices or even actual customer locations.

Top Story Give your Network all the Shielding that it Needs!

At 3 AM, Joel (Sysadmin) gets a call about some problem that needs to be attended to immediately and tagged “high priority”, red flagged. Well!

As the network administrator of a company with about 2000 people working round the clock handling critical information, it does become a red flagged, high priority issue affecting every strata of the company.

As soon as he enters office, he is welcomed by the words such as “DenialOfService”, “Flash Crowd", "Suspect Flows", etc. in different tones & emotional attributes that come along with it. Trying to get things into his head, on a hazy night/morning, things were not really easy for him to handle and that moment he wished, “If only I had a tool that would take care of this ..”

Well, this is the worst nightmare a Network Administrator could ever have and NetFlow Analyzer is the kind of tool that could have come handy to Joel.

Who's playing with the firewall configuration?
firewall cartoon
A breach. A breach. May day. May day.... our network is compromised!!! How many times has this happened to us. When we deployed the firewall we did it with meticulous care and adhered to every IT policy and best practices we know off. But still our networks get knocked down. Viruses, trojans, malware and other malicious software keep finding holes in our firewall and abuse our network. You want to know the reason? Well it’s not only about configuring it right the first time, but also auditing your firewall configuration periodically and ensuring that there are no holes created in due course. Even more get alerted about changes in real-time.

This is why we at ManageEngine have added a new configuration change management report in ManageEngine Firewall Analyzer our leading firewall management software, which tells you the history of every change made - who/ when/ what/ and why. This helps you fix the holes in your firewall and prevent brutal attacks.  Download Firewall Analyzer now!
