Simple and Easy Network Simulation
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Packet Tracer is a very effective program that I have been using for nearly 4 years . We had an issue, we had to set up a physical training center containing Cisco products, but the cost was very high, the situation has become very easy with the presence of Packet Tracer, where we can design practical labs with all their contents of routers, switches, wired and wireless communication devices, all without financial costs, it's great
Pros
- It contains most of Cisco's products in one place without the need to use a third party
- You can design and implement a complete network with all settings and export the configuration file
- Track and monitor connection status and data traffic
Cons
- Improve editing tools for writing on the workspace
- Add tools to help integrate with network analysis programs
- Add features to enable the program to access the Internet
Likelihood to Recommend
Very suitable for educational purposes or for training new employees on a virtual system.
It is also very suitable for making initial designs for networks and presenting them to clients before starting implementation.
Unfortunately, it is not suitable for network testing and penetration testing.
Also, it is not possible to add Firewall devices from other companies.
