Andrew Forder, Commercial Director at Zenzero
In the modern workplace, IT networks are more than just infrastructure; they’re the lifeline of business operations. Every email, cloud file, video call, and transaction relies on a stable and secure network. When networks fail or underperform, the impact on productivity, customer experience, and even revenue can be significant. That’s why effective network monitoring is no longer a luxury; it’s a core IT discipline. Yet, with the growing complexity of IT environments spanning remote work, hybrid cloud, and mobile devices, selecting and managing the right network monitoring solution is far from straightforward. The aim is no longer just uptime, but full visibility, fast response, and long-term adaptability.

Martin Saunders, COO of Highlight
In today’s digital-first businesses, network performance is vital for operational stability and success. If the network falters, so does productivity, communication, and in many cases, customer experience. Having an effective tool to monitor and deliver full oversight across the whole network is essential.
Prioritise a user experience that matches your use case
The interface of a network monitoring tool is not just about aesthetics, it’s about functionality. An intuitive, clean user interface (UI) helps network managers to access the right information quickly, make informed decisions, and take action without delay. With key metrics and alerts presented clearly, network teams can respond faster and with greater confidence.
