Looking after a Windows-based local area network becomes complicated as the network gets bigger. While small networks of ten or even twenty PCs can be easily maintained by a single system administrator using only those network monitoring tools provided in Windows, larger networks require more attention and demand the use of more complex network monitoring tools. The problem with complex network monitoring tools is that they are, well, complex. Finding an experienced network administrator to use some network monitoring tools can add significant costs to a company.
There are, however, network monitoring tools providing sophisticated monitoring capabilities without placing too high requirements onto system administrators.
