Best Server Health monitoring Tool

Hi Friends,

My company has 50 users in total with domain infrastructure (Windows Server 2012 Standard Edition). I wanted to install server health monitoring tool which can generate server health report and email to the designated email on everyday basis.

Any cheapest solution? Any Idea, which software is worth to buy?

Thank you in advance.

There are various powershell scripts like the following that will send an email with various utilization stats: https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/Powershell-Script-to-Get-78687c5e

But in general, the solution you want depends on what kind of data you want. There are numerous companies that offer server monitoring tools. Manageengine has some pretty good ones: https://www.manageengine.com/products/applications_manager/?datasersol

SolarWinds has the most commonly used solutions: https://www.solarwinds.com/server-application-monitor but they cost more than most entry level servers and are targeted more towards enterprise environments.

You can also look at some of the major Remote Monitoring and Management solutions like LogMeIn, nAble, Kaseya, Atera, and Connectwise offer good solutions, though they are focused mainly on providing RMM solutions for Managed Service Providers, which monitor hundreds or thousands of servers, rather than just one or two, so I don't know what they will all charge for monitoring a small network like yours. LogMeIn Pro is probably going to be the one that is most likely to give you prices for a network that size, since they also go after individual businesses with their products, but all of the RMM providers charge monthly rates rather than a single flat rate for their products.

I wanted to monitor following things,

(1) CPU Utilization
(2) Memory Utilization
(3) Bandwidth Utilization (optional)
(4) Disk Utilization
(5) Hardware related alert

I wanted to set threshold for each server so that I can be notified by email if threshold limit cross the upper or lower defined limit.


I have tried manage engine application but it is not helpful as needs to generate report manually.
Solardwinds is so expensive and not suit my company as it has 50 users.

I need to look into the software you have suggested to me.

Thank you Adam..
