Monitor Software Product Comparisons

Our monitoring software products have a wide range of functionality and features. At the same time, they share a common look and feel. This makes it easy to move among applications, but it might make it a little harder to see how they're different. This page will help show their similarities and differences. If you have further questions, please contact us.

In general the products are typically used for:

PA Server Monitor

Agentless server and application health and performance monitoringsoftware on local and remote servers and devices. Rich alerting and reporting.

PA: storage monitor

In-depth analysis and tracking of file storage and directory sizes(local and remote), including file and file-owner information. Some monitoring capabilities as well as rich alerting and reporting.

Pa: file sight

Real-time file access and auditing. Can report who accesses and deletes files. Ransomware protection, file-copy detection and USB drive blocking

After testing almost 20 monitors in the market from free to thousands in price tag, some too hard to maintain, most yielding too many false positives, we found peace with PA Server Monitor. Adding the prompt support into the stew makes one feel like having a real "IT Gourmet" on the plate for the price of a hamburger. Now I can forget about the servers on my spare time and wake up well rested in the morning knowing no SMS = no problem.
