NetLynxer is the definitive solution for monitoring, diagnosis and management of complex enterprise networks developed by Comfidentia. It is a cutting-edge platform that completely transforms network infrastructure administration, offering total visibility, advanced diagnostics and centralized network device management.

What is NetLynxer?

NetLynxer is a specialized platform for network infrastructure monitoring and management that goes far beyond traditional tools. Specifically designed for complex enterprise networks, NetLynxer provides continuous monitoring, interactive visual topology, integrated diagnostics and remote network device management, all from an intuitive and modern web interface.

Unlike generic monitoring solutions, NetLynxer is optimized for enterprise networks, understanding the particularities of switches, routers, firewalls, load balancers and other critical network devices.

Main Features

🎯 Intuitive Dashboard

Centralized view of all network infrastructure with critical information at your fingertips:

How NetLynxer Supports Businesses

🎯 Complexity Reduction

Common Problem: Companies with complex networks use multiple disconnected tools:

• SNMP Manager for polling
• Outdated topology software
• CLI tools for diagnostics
• Spreadsheets for inventory
• Various SSH clients
• Custom scripts for automation

Result: Time wasted switching between tools, fragmented information, difficulty correlating events.

With NetLynxer: EVERYTHING in a single integrated platform. One login, one interface, automatically correlated information.

Impact: 70% reduction in daily network management time.

💰 Cost Reduction

Real Example - Company with 500 Devices:
