NetBrain

NetBrain is an agentic network-operations platform for teams managing complex, multi-vendor networks. It uses live network context to help diagnose issues, assess risk, and manage changes across physical, virtual, cloud, and software-defined infrastructure. Its model includes device configuration, utilization, software versions, and topology; it maps Layer 2, Layer 3, overlay, and underlay networks and calculates paths across datacenter, WAN, and cloud. Named agents include Deep Diagnosis for root-cause analysis, Assessment for network checks, Change for governed runbooks, and Companion for everyday needs. NetBrain says agents read before writing and require user approval before execution. Runbook and intent-based automation support network operations. Connections include MCP, REST APIs, and webhooks, with named integrations such as ServiceNow, BigPanda, Dynatrace, Copilot, Gemini, and Claude. Its documentation describes role-based authentication, external authentication, password controls, and audit logs. The platform offers hybrid deployment and a time-limited trial license, but pricing is on request. NetBrain says it is not designed as a network-wide 24×7 monitoring solution and complements monitoring products.
