I was told to get this as an alternative to xnetstat which I didn't want to pay for at that time. Nothing like it, nothing more than basic cmd procedures built into windows already
Did the job I wanted
aucheorn
Pros
I had faults with internal house setup, by using this software I was able to try various solutions and check for improvements. Because it's graphical it's easier to understand and see the differences.
Cons
Unfortunately there is no logging. You can quit the program restart it and your previous session data will be there but if you close down your computer you will lose your past sessions.
Summary
NetTools is now part of my toolkit Toolbox.
It's insane to give this perfect program away for free!
spitfire396
Pros
Nice design, easy to use and totally free.
Cons
None as i could see.
Summary
A must have-app for all computer owners, absolutely free, easy to understand a and fast running-program.
great free analyzer
briancarr1966
Pros
easy to use nice interface a must in anyones tool box
Cons
none yet will post if any
Summary
great piece of software easy to use and understand runs well on windows 7 64 Bit
No log function
Rhtj
Pros
Very pretty and easy to use.
Cons
No logging. Collected information can only be exported to an image file, which is pointless.
Summary
Nice all in one package
jjjerome
Pros
This tools were easy to setup and intergrated easily as an administratior on the pc.Port and network scans gave clear easy to understand results.
Cons
A few more customizations with the ability to run certaion features over a range.
Summary
Crashes when attempt to run
ultimately_myself
Pros
None at this point, since app will not run. However, did not find indication of trojan or other malware as others reported; scanned install exe with AVG, Malwarebytes and a-Squared-3.
Cons
Installed on Vista Home Premium SP1.
As stated, crashes when attempt to run, even when run as administrator.
Have sent email request for help to Axence support. Will post again after receive response.
Summary
Beautiful live network status displays
icaretaker
Pros
Very easy to use and monitors IP addresses using ping. Live plots and tables update in real time. Has many other useful features
Cons
Some features not useful but better to have them than not.
Summary
Garbage. Does NOT do what it claims to do
Vanillaman
Pros
Nothing
Cons
False. Does NOT do what it claims to do and I have given it plenty of chances. Support is not very freindly either and pretty hostile. Perhaps this is because you haven't paid for it, so they can afford to be ignorant.
Summary
Great suite of tools. Issue with High CPU
gstunts
Pros
Nice interface. Has lots of great tools.
Cons
Minor issues: Sometimes can't "connect" to "RPC" when trying to view the local PC running processes etc. Then Axence "Netmon" uses more than 90% CPU. Netstat tool would benefit from having bitrate/volume of data for each network process. Traceroute tool would benefit from having time graph of when packet loss and high RTT occurred.
