User Testimonials
	SourceForge Speed Test	VMware Skyline
Likelihood to Recommend	SourceForge (Slashdot Media) The sourceForge speed test would be well suited in most scenarios. From simply measuring your speed when connecting to new networks to trying to diagnose network issues at your house, workplace or any other environment where you may have spotty internet connection. I'd say is not well suited to get perfectly accurate results if needed for any type of network monitoring. Incentivized JB Jean Bonilla Accounting Clerk Read full review	VMware by Broadcom VMware Skyline is free yet is priceless. Skyline gives you the health of your VMware products in a single pane. Here you not only get issues pointed out to you but the suggested solutions for each issue. Doesn't get better than this. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	SourceForge (Slashdot Media) Provide the down/up speed Measure the ping speed Determining the internet loss% Incentivized JB Jean Bonilla Accounting Clerk Read full review	VMware by Broadcom Easy setup Stable Data collection Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	SourceForge (Slashdot Media) Websocketing can sometimes be unreliable Ui can be slow at times The ads would slow down my pc at times Incentivized JB Jean Bonilla Accounting Clerk Read full review	VMware by Broadcom Sometimes the recommendations do not make sense. Sometimes the advice is general, but not for us. Incentivized CH Chris Hein Systems Engineer Read full review
Usability	SourceForge (Slashdot Media) No answers on this topic	VMware by Broadcom It's super easy to use. Incentivized CH Chris Hein Systems Engineer Read full review
Alternatives Considered	SourceForge (Slashdot Media) The main reason why we selected the SourceForge speed test at my job was due the company's heavy and aggressive website whitelisting. The sourceForge speed test was one of the few tests we tried that was able to work fine within our restricted network. Plus it was easy to ready, even to my boss. Incentivized JB Jean Bonilla Accounting Clerk Read full review	VMware by Broadcom I've used other products such as VMAN and such yet Skyline is different. This is not aimed at your virtual machine's internal usage but at the VMware / Hypervisor level. This looks and monitors at hardware drivers, VMtools versions, and VM hardware versions. If you have Horizon it will look at versions and current vs minimum driver versions. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Return on Investment	SourceForge (Slashdot Media) We know when the network is congested so we adapt our workflow accordingly. It allowed identification of inconsistencies with the service provided by the ISP. Switching ISPs allowed us to save 10% in our monthly internet bill, while receiving a better service.
