User Testimonials

Likelihood to Recommend	Nokia Networks No answers on this topic	Pingman Tools It is well suited for performing monitoring and testing from a single device. It is less appropriate if you have to monitor from multiple different endpoints. That type of deployment would be more of an enterprise application. If you are looking for an end user monitoring solution then PingPlotter is the one for you. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	Nokia Networks No answers on this topic	Pingman Tools Monitor traffic in network Measure stops when contacting network locations such as websites Measures the lag and latency it takes to contact network locations Gives you both induvidual measurements as well as good oversight identifies when network lag or disconnect occurs JH Johann Helgason Director of services Read full review
Cons	Nokia Networks No answers on this topic	Pingman Tools Its a little confusing to see which targets are currently running pings and which ones are displayed in the plots. Starting and stopping pings requires a right click and that would be better with a play/pause button I think. Ability to drag and drop the graphs to reorder them. more columns to show which targets are running and which are displayed. Currently this is done with symbols so you cant sort by just the running targets for example I've found. Incentivized Martin Vandepas Hardware Engineer Read full review
Usability	Nokia Networks No answers on this topic	Pingman Tools 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.

Support Rating	Nokia Networks No answers on this topic	Pingman Tools 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.

Alternatives Considered	Nokia Networks No answers on this topic	Pingman Tools 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 JS James Bennett Saxon Software Realizer Read full review
Return on Investment	Nokia Networks No answers on this topic	Pingman Tools 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 Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
