Cisco Packet Tracer (part of Cisco Networking Academy) vs. GNS3

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.

If you want to design a network that contains devices from different vendors and you want to implement and monitor this network and make sure of the stability of this network before actually implementing it physically, then this is the right program. It allows you to design a complete network with different components and from different vendors with the possibility of integrating various devices and also linking them with network monitoring programs.

• Real time data monitoring
• Packet analysis
• Network geolocation design

Incentivized

• The possibility of applying integrated labs that simulate reality by more than 90%.
• It enables the addition of different network devices from all vendors with the possibility of integration between them.

• CLI, It would be great if we can use multiple tapes in a single window.
• It is limited to Cisco products only, there is no integration with other companies.
• Improve UI customisation and writing settings.

Incentivized

• In my opinion, the program consumes a lot of device resources, especially when using the iOS version.
• The program does not contain network devices, so you need to search for the network devices that you need and add them manually.
