Purpose-built for SCADA, industrial and air-gapped networks. Cisco-first, multi-vendor ready. Up and running in under 5 minutes.
✦ Designed by network engineers for network engineers
Generic monitoring platforms were built for cloud infrastructure and web apps — not SCADA systems, Cisco industrial switches, and air-gapped OT environments.
SolarWinds, PRTG and LogicMonitor require weeks of setup, thousands in licensing, and a dedicated team to run. Your OT environment doesn't need 500 integrations — it needs switch visibility.
Most modern monitoring platforms require cloud connectivity — a non-starter for air-gapped OT networks, mining sites, utility substations, and SCADA environments with strict security requirements.
Vendor pricing models that charge per-sensor or per-device penalise you for growing your network. Monitoring 50 interfaces on 4 switches shouldn't cost $40,000 a year.
Cisco-first design, multi-vendor ready. NetPol uses standard SNMPv2c — compatible with Cisco, Hirschmann, Moxa, Fortinet FortiSwitch, HP/Aruba ProCurve, Juniper and any other managed switch that speaks SNMP.
SNMP v2c polling across Cisco, Hirschmann, Moxa, Fortinet FortiSwitch, HP/Aruba and other managed switches. CPU, memory, interface status, errors and uptime — live dashboard with traffic-light status at a glance.
Manage multiple client sites or network segments in a single installation. Switch between profiles instantly — ideal for MSPs and multi-site operators.
Configurable thresholds for CPU, memory, interface errors and port states. Active alarm tracking with acknowledgement and history logging.
Automatic CDP/LLDP topology discovery builds a live network map — no manual drawing required. Visualise device relationships and link states.
One-click SSH configuration backup for all monitored switches. Side-by-side diff view highlights exactly what changed and when.
Centralise visibility across multiple NetPol nodes into a single pane of glass. Ideal for MSPs managing many client environments.
Fully self-hosted. No cloud dependency. Runs on a local server, VM or even a Raspberry Pi. Perfect for OT environments with strict security policies.
Generate executive-ready PDF reports with switch status, alert summaries and recommendations — ready to share with management or clients.
One license per server running NetPol. Monitor unlimited switches and interfaces on that node. Choose the edition that fits your environment.
Aggregate data from multiple NetPol nodes into a single management dashboard. Ideal for MSPs and multi-site operators. Available as cloud-hosted or self-hosted on-premises.
All plans include a 7-day free trial. No credit card required to start. Prices in AUD. Annual and 2-year plans billed upfront.
Enterprise platforms are built for enterprise IT teams with enterprise budgets. NetPol is built for the engineer who needs it running today.
