INTRODUCTION
Networking software facilitates the user to efficiently monitor and network management which is
a complex combination of hardware and software along with the human elements (Lee, Kim,
Park and Shin, 2019). it renders the wider view of the health of the network and further assists in
identifying the improvement areas. The current article discusses the top 10 free networking
software.
MAIN BODY
Network bandwidth analyser is one of the networking software which is a multi vendor network
that helps in monitoring the and facilitates the network performance. It is used to detect and
diagonalize the network performance and resolve various issues that help the user to use the
network in a more effortless manner. Auvik is another networking software which is easy to use
and is based on the cloud networking having the faster monitoring servicing. It provides the user
and instant insight of the management of the networks in an automated manner with proper
network Discovery and documentation. This is a tool which helps in the real time networking
along with the mapping and inventory which keeps the constant update. Network configuration
manager is also one of the networking software in which it helps in saving the time and energy
by improving the security of the network which is reliable in managing the configurations and
also having the compliance for different other networks and switches along with the routers as
well. Manage engine opmanager is also another networking software which supports the end to
end network management (Ferguson, Gribble, Hong and Alimi, 2021). It helps in enabling the
availability of screen networking and traffic along with the performance matrix of different other
devices which includes the switches and servers along with the routers. Site 24 into 7 is one of
the networking software which has robust and stable Network monitoring which operates at the
interface level. It is based on the infrastructure of software as a service solution which monitors
the network in a secure manner. data dog is another networking software which monitors the end
to end visibility of the cloud and hybrid networks that administers the network devices
performances. It is basically the cloud base software which detects and explores all the other
connected devices. Obkio is also one of the networking software which monitors the
performance and provides the software as a service solution which identifies the issue and
resolves them by improving the end user experience. It is considered as one of the best Network

monitoring tools which render the user in the real time network performance. WhatsUp gold is
also another networking software which covers the network h to the cloud and monitors the
complete visibility and performance of the network which is connected to other devices and also
alerts with the malfunctions. Zabbix is one of the networking software which manages the home
network and also monitors the servers and network hardware. It manages the network utilisation
and disc space consumption as well. Icinga and another networking software which has the open
source infrastructure that helps the user in alerting and reporting the health of the information
technology environment (Ghaffar, Alshahrani, Fayaz and Gwak, 2021).
CONCLUSION
It is concluded that networking software is important to use for better effectiveness and
efficiency in the working world because it monitors the potential problems and administers the
network with proper security concerns. Therefore it is essential and significant to assess and
examine the different free networking software. Hence the above article presents all such
information in order to better understand the concept of free networking software.
