Does It Offer Secure Remote Access?
Ideally, the GUI of your preferred monitoring solution will be Web-based. In a truly global economy and in an era of increased telecommuting and flex schedules, your monitoring solution should be available to your entire team at any time — no matter where they perform their work on any given day. Finding a Web-based solution becomes essential if your team isn’t centralized in one office and is, instead, comprised of members in various far-flung offices. The more your staff can access the monitoring solution, the more they’ll use it and the more they’ll pre-empt problems linked to performance and availability. Simply put, your monitoring solution shouldn’t be anchored at a single location and hamstrung by basic geographic or logistical constraints when various Web-based applications exist.
