Managing a nonprofit’s network infrastructure effectively is crucial for ensuring security, performance, and reliability. Fortunately, several powerful network monitoring and management tools offer premium subscriptions free to nonprofits. Below are two excellent options:
ntop offers ntopng, which is an advanced network traffic monitoring tool that provides real-time visibility into network usage and security threats. It offers a web-based interface for tracking bandwidth consumption, detecting anomalies, and analyzing network protocols. With built-in support for deep packet inspection (DPI), ntopng helps nonprofits identify potential security risks and optimize network performance. Nonprofits can access premium ntopng features for free, allowing them to maintain a secure and efficient network infrastructure without financial constraints.

New Relic is a robust observability platform that provides deep insights into network performance, application health, and system dependencies. It offers real-time analytics, anomaly detection, and automated alerts to help IT teams quickly identify and resolve issues. With its cloud-based dashboard, nonprofits can monitor infrastructure, logs, and application traces all in one place.

Splunk is a powerful data analytics and security platform that helps organizations collect, analyze, and visualize network and system logs.
