Remote network monitoring tools receive information from agents and compiles them into a monitoring dashboard. With a remote monitoring dashboard, users can receive information on network performance from anywhere and examine all connected devices.

Being able to remotely detect network performance issues is only the first step in remotely monitoring network performance and security.

With remote monitoring and management solutions, users can remotely configure and update without manually accessing the device. This can help prevent unnecessary office visits to reconfigure devices, especially when the required patches are minor.

That means that your monitoring solution must be able to track traffic that comes onto a network in addition to all the local data transfers.
