Overall Satisfaction with PingPlotter
This program is helping me to diagnose networking issues in my home office. I can add IP addresses targets for multiple devices in my network and it will constantly ping them for hours. The plots are easy to read and configurable. It makes it easy to see how the network stability changes over time and seeing how some devices go down while others do not is valuable information for diagnosis. The built in network mapper is very handy tool also and pulls IPs, MAC addresses, and names over several protocols and then starts pinging all the devices. The tool is just really handy and does exactly what you want it to do.
- Built in Network map, Local Network Discovery
- makes clear plots of pings to multiple targets
- traceroute with pings to each hop
- very configurable
- 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.
- Helps to diagnose problems and reduce downtime
Wireshark doesn't have this functionality and the commandline ping tool built into windows doesn't do plots.
