Cisco Packet Tracer is a very good option for technical educational institutes interested in the field of networking. Instead of setting up a real lab with real equipment that costs thousands of dollars, it can be dispensed with, and using Cisco Packet Tracer as a very good alternative, trainees can practice any time any where.

In the comparison with the Cisco Packet Tracer there is no much applications existing. But the UI and application was not up to the mark.
