CA Nimsoft Monitor for Microsoft Active Directory offers intuitive monitoring insights.

While most end users are not aware of Active Directory—they are most definitely aware of the effects when Active Directory performance falters. When Microsoft Active Directory goes awry—customer facing applications go with it—including Microsoft Exchange, SharePoint, and more. The inability to send email or log in to SharePoint could be an issue within Active Directory—and not with the applications themselves.

CA Nimsoft Monitor for Microsoft Active Directory offers an effective way to monitor and proactively manage the performance of Active Directory—and all of the external applications that rely on it.

CA Nimsoft Monitor for Microsoft Active Directory takes the guesswork out of determining whether or not application issues are related to an unhealthy Active Directory environment. By monitoring Active Directory related services, response times, custom queries, and key backend performance indicators, your Windows administrator can determine where they should be focusing their efforts to restore application performance.

By tracking and plotting trend reports, CA Nimsoft Monitor provides you with the insights you need to proactively address poor performance and avoid outages.
