PingPlotter was perfect for a before and after change related to network infrastructure. We were able to easily identify and pinpoint the hops where latency occurred and if it was related to our internal change or if it is external and out of our control. If the issue resided with the ISP we could open a ticket with them and provide the PingPlotter share link so the techs could see the results as well. The program gets the jobs done but could use some improvement related to an updated user interface.

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.

It didn’t come up to my expectations cause of Being

1. Less active
2. More pricey

3. Heavily weighted for our systems. On the contrary, PIngPlotter is entirely different from our
prior experience as it is fast, active, reasonable price, and is very light for
our systems. All this makes it a highly favorable tool for our company’s needs.
