What to look for in server monitoring software

The best server monitoring software for you depends on how your business works, not only on where a product sits in the list. Before you shortlist the top-ranked options, check for:

CPU, memory, disk and network checks on every server, in the cloud or on premises
Alerts that reach the right person by email, SMS, chat or on-call rota
Checks on the applications and services, not only the machines
Dashboards and history to spot a trend before it becomes an outage
Agent-based or agentless monitoring, and the platforms it supports
Integration with your incident management and ticketing

How to use this ranking

Start with the top 10, then narrow down with Best server monitoring software by category further down the page, which ranks the same feature inside each kind of software. Read the reviews on each profile, and ask vendors to show you the points above with your own data before you decide.

Best server monitoring software by category

The same feature, ranked inside each kind of software. 14 categories in all; these 4 have 5 or more products.

How is this list of the top server monitoring software worked out?

TrustList ranks every product that offers server monitoring, whichever software category it is filed under, by its rating, how many reviews it has and how complete its profile is. No one can pay for a position in this list. Where few products have reviews yet, profile completeness carries more weight, so treat the order as a shortlist to check rather than a verdict.

Is the top-ranked product the best server monitoring software for everyone?

No. A small team, a growing business and a large enterprise need different things from server monitoring software. Use the checklist above and the rankings by category to find the best fit, and give most weight to reviews from companies like yours.

How often does the ranking change?

The order is recalculated as new reviews arrive and vendors update their profiles, so the list you see is the current one.
