There are number of software available to download from the internet which has the feature of network Audit. Some of this software is for free and some costs according to the number of nodes in your network. If you have small network then the software will not cost you much. So it will be useful if you buy software which is only for restricted number of nodes instead of buying a high end utility for all kinds of network. Make sure that the software must have the access to make report and capable to analyze the certain changes the in remote computers. There are some kinds of software which you don’t need to install it on every computer. You can just install it in server and can access the information of the entire network.

If you are really looking forward for buying network audit software then I urge you to choose portable software which you don’t need to install it on computer or in server. The software of such type can use directly from ant portable devices like Pen Drive, External HDD or from CD/DVD etc. otherwise you can buy fully capable software which you must install in server or in all client computer over the network along with the server.
