    Great for our large global environment. Works well with our legacy and newer equipment. Ease of install was exciting compared to other products we POC'd. Less of a learning curve when training Teams on how to monitor and troubleshoot while in production. Service desk were able to capture the logs and load into our ticketing system with ease.

    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.

    • 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.

    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
