A similar but more basic alternative is available on Android, called Fing. It's very useful for diagnosing issues on networks when you only have your mobile device to hand.

Chose Nmap
Alternatives to Nmap (other IP scanners) are often much more limited in what they can do; They often only allow you to scan a specific subset of ports or a limited number of IP addresses in one command. Nmap is unrestricted in that regard. What makes Nmap stand out above the …
Chose Nmap
ZenMap is a 3rd-party UI for Nmap, so those that struggle with syntax, this is nice. Bit heavier to run and use.
Chose Nmap
I have used all three of these alternatives but they are generally limited in their function and ability to tweak settings. I have always found Nmap to be able to out perform these other products with ease.
Chose Nmap
Nmap has no competitors nowadays. I don't consider any of the other similar tools as an alternative. Every manual is Nmap oriented. Every student studies Nmap. Every pentester uses Nmap.
Chose Nmap
Nmap is the basis for all of its competitors. They all have Nmap built in and before you ever move beyond it, you have to understand it
Chose Nmap
While mainly a CLI tool, there is an unofficial GUI. This can help the learning curve but unlike Nessus and Nexpose where there is a well-made user interface, with NMAP you need to really leverage the CLI for the power behind it. When it comes to modules being community-driven …

Nmap is completely free compared to all the other competitors and is highly customizable.
Chose Nmap
NMap usually lacks the features of the other network scanners, but for a good reason: most of the other network scanners out there are using NMap as part of their system. The nature of NMap (being open-source) is that it is available for use in other applications; as a result, …
Chose Nmap
I haven't really evaluated a ton of others but there are some more basic versions, some have a GUI (like Zenmap for Nmap) but are less feature-rich. Some just don't work. Nmap is the default too, I think because of its great flexibility and straightforward use. Not sure …
Chose Nmap
It is used for finding the open ports in the network, and another is to scanning the network find the loopholes in the network devices.

Fing, Angry IP scanner, Advanced IP scanner, all great programs, however they all lacked the depth and customization that nmap scans provide. They provide a modicum of information in a much prettier package, but nmap delivers for depth and powerhouse information gathering.

I've used several very good network scanners, but NMap is really the choice for most security professionals and IT professionals who do security work. All the other tools are good, but they all lack some of NMap's flexibility, scalability, and numerous options for scan …

Netsparker is very thorough but can take a very long time to scan a web application. It can also take a long time to learn and configure. Its thoroughness is a very good part of the product but if the application does [not] need this thoroughness it is probably a waste of time to run Netsparker on the website.

Nmap is the ideal solution if you are working alot in network environments. If you come to grips with the syntax and the most-used features (the online community helps alot), you will be able to much more quickly and thoroughly troubleshoot networks or check for security vulnerabilities, for instance. It is free to use and is available for Windows and Linux, so I would say it is very much warrented for any network administrator or sysadmin to take it out for a spin.

Pros
  • Netsparker is a product that many security companies use to scan their clients websites. This means it has good reputation and we can use that reputation when we show our Netsparker scan to our clients.
  • Netsparker is very customizable and allows us to reduce the scan time by making sure we do not spend time scanning technologies that are not being used in the application. Once a set of customizations are configured they can be applied to similar types of applications. This allows us to quickly setup a vulnerability scan of new applications.
  • Netsparker includes numerous vulnerability points to test for. This means that sometimes thousands of possible vulnerabilities are tested. Other scanners to do not always scan for all of these types of vulnerabilities.

Cons
  • NetSparker does not integrate with all systems. Currently, it is limited to popular systems, using Java for example.
  • NetSparker is priced at a higher range. I believe with all its competition, the pricing could be a little better.
  • NerSparker could improve its user experience. There should be a way to find out if a system has vulnerabilities directly through e-mail.

  • exporting, There's a serious lack of ability to export the information in a readable format to present to VPs and such. I always find myself doing a lot of data massaging to get it in a pretty format
  • some scans can trigger sensitive IDS/IPS
  • SYN scans can be particularly aggressive and cause problems on remote systems.

Nmap uses are very practical and I don't think there is a better tools for what Nmap does. It is open-sources that therefore there is no cost to use it. It offers a number of benefits, including but not limited to network mapping, port scanning and more. It is very reliable as a network scanning tool.

NetSparker support is amazing. When first introducing this software to the team, there was a lot of communication going on between Netsparker consultants and our team. They have answered our questions very efficiently and have had consultants come to our department for training. They are open to suggestions for improvements and enhancements as well.

There is a very large support community and a robust selection of add-ons and scripts. Once you get the use down this is one of the most powerful tools and you can find anything you are looking for as far as examples on the web. While not having official support its not lacking by any means.

Alternatives Considered
Our department used to use Veracode as our security scanning software. Compared to Veracode, Netsparker has a very organized dashboard with built-in tools that making collaborating with other teammates very efficient and easy. Another teammate can definitely take over the work I am doing in NetSparker with minimal explanation.

A graphical user interface alternative to Nmap, is Zenmap. It's the official GUI for Nmap and does use Nmap under the hood. It makes things a bit more 'point and click'.

  • NMap being free of charge has a positive impact on our budget. It is an enterprise-class tool that anyone can download and use.
  • NMap, both command line and GUI, is a very advanced tool that is easy to use, so there's very little learning curve involved, which has a positive impact on productivity and security.
  • A valuable feature that is a huge time saver is that you can compare scans. This saves hours of searching manually for differences in scan results. Faster results means faster mitigation of problems, which can be a real money saver.
