Planet NMS Series - Ipswitch WhatsUp Gold | WhatsUp Gold 5.0 Ipswitch, Inc. Lexington, Mass. |  |
WhatsUp Gold is primarily a discovery and monitoring tool for TCP/IP, IPX, and NetBIOS networks. On Windows 95/98, it runs as an application; on Windows NT and 2000, it can also run as a service. We installed WhatsUp Gold 5.0 on a PIII 500 running Windows NT4 SP5, using the supplied setup program.
Installation is quick and painless. The only catch we spotted: WhatsUp Gold performance graphs require ODBC. You must make install ODBC before WhatsUp Gold, because graph support cannot be added later. Also, if you plan to run WhatsUp Gold as an NT service, you'll want to discover your network in "regular" mode first.
| A "demo network" is included to help first-timers get familiar with WhatsUp Gold (right). This demo provides an excellent overview of WhatsUp Gold features and navigation. The User's Guide offers simple, step-by-step instructions on how to get your feet wet by creating a map of your own. These introductory features make WhatsUp Gold quite approachable; most users will grasp the basics with little effort. |  |

Thanks for the review! We've actually improved quite a bit on the flaws you've pointed out and have grown it into a much more complete system (fast discovery, reporting, alert mgmt). We're up to version 14 now and the product's really grown. I've been with Ipswitch for 10 years and this is by far the best version we've ever pumped out. We still offer a 30 day eval so we'd love for you to try it and share your thoughts. http://www.whatsupgold.com/
BalasThanks again!
Yah i seen the 14 version trail, its really good.
BalasThanks for this tool.
Can anyone recommend the top RMM software for a small IT service company like mine? Does anyone use Kaseya.com or GFI.com? How do they compare to these guys I found recently: N-able N-central system management
Balas? What is your best take in cost vs performance among those three? I need a good advice please... Thanks in advance!
