Overall Satisfaction with Nmap

Nmap is utilized by me team of support engineers on a regular basis to identify devices that are on our companies network to see available IP addresses and what we can use to put static IP addresses on our equipment. Using Nmap at first is very confusing but after using it once or twice, it is easy and very helpful.
  • Nmap allows you to search IP ranges that you as the user determine
  • Nmap gives you a detailed list of utilized IP addresses in the range that you have identified
  • Nmap provides what type of device is utilizing an IP address
  • When scanning, you have to put in the exact numbers for it to scan, which can be annoying
  • Nmap is very simple and just pings IP ranges, I wish it could do more
  • Nmap has been positive as we don't have to rely on IT services to provide us an IP address
  • Nmap is positive in where you can scan any network range
  • Negative in where the info is pretty bleak and bland
Nmap is well suited for already situated networks when looking for open IP addresses on the network. When a new piece of equipment, such as audio visual equipment, needs to have a static IP for support purposes, Nmap allows you to scan a full IP range and find an open one for you to use.
