NETGEAR Insight: Network Management System
NETGEAR Insight is a network management tool aimed at cutting out complexity for the end user. Often, network management systems created for large enterprises have a steep learning curve for the uninitiated.
Small businesses and homeowners do not have the luxury of on-site, permanently employed sysadmins who have the time and inclination to deeply acquaint themselves with such complicated systems. But, this demographic still needs a capable, reliable network for use both by themselves and, often, their customers. NETGEAR Insight represents the perfect solution, giving power back to those who don’t have dedicated network administration training.
With easy device setup and configuration, including one-touch product registration, Insight allows access and remote monitoring from either the mobile app or, for Insight Premium subscribers, the cloud web portal. Insight empowers businesses to manage their network devices from anywhere and provides a simple means for gathering comprehensible data on devices and sites, leaving business owners and IT contractors with more free time to manage their business.
How Can NETGEAR Insight Help My Business?
Simplified Network Management
Compatible with all NETGEAR Insight Managed Access Points, Switches and ReadyNAS devices, Insight simplifies device maintenance and management. Configurable alerts will notify the user of any network downtime, giving them the notice and information they need to address the situation quickly and efficiently.
In line with the philosophy of simplifying the network management process, NETGEAR Insight makes support available for all of your network devices via a single click. If you need pointers on how to optimise a device or some support for your network, there are no barriers: support is literally just a click or tap away.
Remote Management
NETGEAR Insight enables subscribers to monitor their sites and devices remotely or locally from a single device. Wherever you are, receive alerts, review device data or push firmware updates to your Insight Managed devices.
Such functionality is hugely useful to businesses for whom network uptime is critical. If something goes wrong with your network, you need to know and respond right away. NETGEAR Insight makes this possible. All you need is the Insight mobile app and an Insight Managed network to feel secure in your network’s integrity and the experience of your customers or clients.
