    The NetworkMiner software in my view is a software recommended for small and/or large companies, it may be less useful in small companies or offices, but it can also be used for simple analysis. In medium and large scenarios, it is very useful in analyzing network traffic and identifying possible security flaws, password exposures and weaknesses in the security of solutions and/or technologies used in the internal network.

    hassle free of IT resources is plus point. Monitoring the external resources related to Websites, service provider links or any hosted applications is a great feature in Spiceworks Connectivity Dashboard. Alert reporting on monitored resources is at ease. Integration with custom devices needs to be improved. devices integrated with snmp protocol is not reported with full details which needs to be rectified by Spiceworks Connectivity Dashboard.

    Spiceworks Network Monitor being a free tool, can easily be overtaken against any other product which is cost involved and most of the features are available which are provided by any leading network monitoring tool available in the market. Few of the features which are not present in spiceworks tool (like autodiscovery of resources) needs to be added which will give a great competition for the product. Alerting features, response tickets, sending alerts via email is one of the great features in the product

    • if on premises cannot be deployed on Linux environment which needs windows license requirement
    • competitive price makes easy for decision
    • lacking in auto discovery of devices is the most negative point for ROI
