"Great Administrator Tool"

Commander Keen September 14, 2010 / Version: The Dude 3.6

2010-09-14 14:55:32 | By Commander Keen

Pros

If you want a free tool that can setup server monitoring fast and can alert you if something goes down, you can't beat it.

Cons

I can't think of any

Summary

Every Systems Administrator should at least have it installed and there when needed it's a life saver

"Couldn't make it work."

kjammy October 09, 2009 / Version: The Dude 3.4

2009-10-09 09:01:45 | By kjammy

Pros

Free. ???

Cons

Confusing installer. It was not obvious which components should be installed and what they do, particularly the Server component. EULA was way way way too long. Auto scan found hundreds of "devices" on my 5-computer subnet, very confusing.

Summary

Updated on Oct 9, 2009

Oh, also, the uninstaller hangs when trying to kill the server process, so now I can't even uninstall the darned thing.

"Ive used better"

ghostboy005 August 24, 2006 / Version: The Dude 1.1

2006-08-24 13:16:26 | By ghostboy005

Pros

This program is ok, but lacks a lot of features. Long scan time on your network, rather confusing interface, could use some improvements.

Cons

Interface isnt the best, long scan times, etc.

"Excellent Network Monitor"

plymouthmuscle July 27, 2006 / Version: The Dude 1.1

2006-07-27 13:29:56 | By plymouthmuscle

Pros

Creates map of entire network and monitors it. Keeps list of active and inactive computers.

Cons

Won't let me delete inactive computers from list. Network discovery has to be manually pressed. Would be nice if you could schedule discovery to run at a certain intervalb.
