    There are many products in this particular space. I believe Juniper has divided up the product suite which comprises automation, programmability and general DevOps, but this also makes it frustrating, as the functionality may not be inherent to the particular product. I recommend making sure all use-cases are covered by the product or products prior to being implementation, because a partial solution may grow stagnant or losing funding if it does not meet all KPI.

    Pingman Tools
    This tool is best suited to get a quick read on basic network access across multiple hops. It provides immediate, very valuable feedback. If you know your stuff, there are other tools that handle the rest you need: packet capture, port scans, etc. We are all looking for that multi-tool, but this is perfect for the basic need of knowing where in the network a problem might be.

    • Visibility: it is one of its key features that supports us by showing multidimensional views and facilitates [use] in the monitoring process.
    • Customization: its flexibility is worth appreciating and its dashboard offers customizations and we can have resource metrics according to our personalization.
    • Integration: integration is easy and great that allows us to integrate it with any 3rd source platform.
    • Data collection is another feature that allows us to collect data in our desired standard method.

    • Being able to export data would have been helpful for a larger analysis.
    • It is a robust program and probably more than we needed for a small business; some options that were better aligned with our budget would have been good.
    • As a non-technical person in the networking space, I found the data helpful for communicating, but not always easy to understand.

    I installed it and it just started working. I realized I could then tweak it to show what I needed but didn't have to spend a long time configuring it before use, editing YAML files etc. Maybe that's fine for a network professional, but I only need this software if something goes wrong, and then need it to work quickly out of the box.

    I have not had much contact with the PingPlotter support, only one time have I went to them and it was a positive experience. The questions I had were answered quickly and professionally. I have no issue with the experience I had with the Support team. This was from before and after the purchase of the product.

    We decided to go for Paragon after checking all the pros and
    cons as we didn’t have a good experience of Memfault and maybe it was just
    because we haven’t made enough research on it and we had to suffer cause of its
    malfunctioning and difficulty. Moreover, I think that I can never regard
    Memfault as a complete package which Paragon insight definitely is.

    I used Ping.app and UptimeLog.app on the Mac. These both provided different aspects. These two had a menubar to show me green or red for multiple connections. UptimeLog showed me very clearly when my connectivity was on or off and for exactly how long

    • Great ROI, troubleshooting time has been reduced by 90%
    • Network Discoveries used to take 2 to 3 hours and were inconsistent - now it is a matter of minutes
    • lacks integration into our MSP toolkit, and we now use it as a stand alone product
