Considered Both Products	Nmap Verified User Employee Chose Nmap 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. Incentivized Helpful? Dylan Eikelenboom Security Officer 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 … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Engineer 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. Incentivized Helpful? Mike Nostrom Senior Systems Software Specialist 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. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Engineer 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. Incentivized Helpful? Greg Madden, CISSP Cybersecurity Consultant 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 Incentivized Helpful? Alan Matson, CCNA:S, MCP Sr. Network Security Engineer 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 … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Professional Chose Nmap This is the first product that should come to anyones mind if you want to do network monitoring the quick way. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Executive Chose Nmap Nmap is completely free compared to all the other competitors and is highly customizable. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Engineer 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, … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Administrator 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 … Incentivized Helpful? ZA Zishan ali VAPT Engineer 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. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Technician Chose Nmap 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. Incentivized Helpful? Kenneth Hess Senior Systems Analyst Chose Nmap 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 … Incentivized Helpful?

User Testimonials
	Nmap
Likelihood to Recommend	Open Source If you're a sysadmin, or anyone who's had to deploy network services, you've almost certainly had to use Nmap at some point or other. Need to see what devices are on your LAN? Nmap can tell you that. Want to check which ports your web server has open to the internet? Nmap is your friend. Nmap is a powerful command-line tool and has many options that require some reading of documentation to get the best out of (although generally straightforward). If the thought of working at the command-line scares you (presumably not if you're reading this review), then you may want a much simpler tool, or at least check out Zenmap GUI.

Pros	Open Source NMap provides a very fast and a very thorough network "sweep" that allows you to quickly map out exactly what's on your network. NMap is highly configurable. The "canned" choices are very good in most instances, but using various switches and options, you can create a very specific scan and get exactly the results you're looking for. NMap is easy to use. Even a new administrator will be able to use the graphical version (Zenmap) with efficiency right away. Incentivized Kenneth Hess Senior Systems Analyst Read full review
Cons	Open Source 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. Incentivized Mike Nostrom Senior Systems Software Specialist Read full review
Support Rating	Open Source 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. Incentivized Alan Matson, CCNA:S, MCP Sr. Network Security Engineer Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Open Source 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 rest, is the complete network analysis package you get with it. It allows IP scanner, network deep-dives, hardware analysis, vulnerability analysis, encryption detailing, and so much more, in one free application Incentivized Dylan Eikelenboom Security Officer Read full review
Return on Investment	Open Source Nmap with Wireshark is free, so it's been a great combo team to gather info and test. It's allowed us to avoid fines from false positives and to fix actual issues ourselves. Great for finding hosts, helps keep the network secure. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
