Even an insignificant network issue can wreck havoc on your IT infrastructure when left unmanaged. This makes it vital that your IT team is alerted instantly whenever an issue arises, so they can troubleshoot it quickly, and ensure network stability.
However, IT teams aren’t sitting at their desks waiting for problems to happen. It’s not uncommon for IT staff to be away from their workstations addressing network issues such as a router failure or a faulty LAN cable. While they’re away, say a network issue that requires immediate attention occurs. Will a team member return to their workstation in time to see and address the issue?
This is where mobile notifications come in handy. To help you keep continuous tabs on your network operations and troubleshoot emerging issues with ease, ManageEngine’s powerful network management solutions offer mobile apps for iOS and Android to help you manage your IT on the go! But don’t just take our word for it; here’s what one user of OpManager’s mobile app had to say:
“Excellent App… Great to have mobile access to all monitored services.” – Rob van Endt
Let’s face it. It’s impractical to expect your IT team to be on-premises every time something goes wrong in your network. Being able to quickly detect your network issues from anywhere is a huge advantage that can greatly increase the efficiency of your IT operations and boost network reliability.
Using ManageEngine’s array of mobile apps and their alerting capabilities, you can keep track of network performance, changes made in your network, application performance, and network behavior metrics.
OpManager: Availability and performance monitoring right from your smartphone

While OpManager comprehensively monitors your servers, routers, and virtual machines on-premises, its mobile app enables visibility into your IT infrastructure from anywhere, so your technicians won’t need to be tied to a desktop to view these metrics anymore.
