    PingPlotter's graphical interface and its elegant graph are very intuitive. The ability to open tabs to run additional network tests is helpful when we are trying to determine whether a cluster behind a load balancer is experiencing issues on one or more nodes. This has been a …

    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.

    PingPlotter has better visualizations and a stronger ability to capture historical data than other tools I've used. This makes it easier to find the root cause by looking back in the log data to find where latency or packet loss occurred.

    A balance of a generic tool vs a network equipment product is necessary when investigating network incidents or disruptions. Need to train the engineer to use both tools to perform their analysis and to dive down to the issues as fast as they can. Experience with the tools will …

    PingPlotter stacks up very well to SolarWinds NPM and can provide many of the same benchmark tests that Solarwinds can. PingPlotter is most certianly much better at doing Traceroutes than npm, and you can run a lot of the same reports.

    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.

    Pros
    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

    Cons
    Pingman Tools
    • 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.

    Return on Investment
    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
