Great tool for easier network diagnostics and monitoring
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
I use PingPlotter to diagnose networks and identify communication issues. It's a great tool to locate patterns and issues and evaluate network health. In large scale deployments, pinpointing a point of fault in a large multi-layered network can be a nightmare and constant monitoring tools are not that easy to come by. Thankfully PingPlotter saved the day and allowed us to have a very good overview of what's happening with the time stamps and ultimately locate the issues and faults.
Pros
- monitoring connection health
- locating points of fault
- monitoring performance patterns and degradation causes
Cons
- information filtering. PingPlotter can take it a step further by providing summaries and outliers and detecting patterns
- further diagnostics assistance, by detecting potential faults and suggesting the potential underlying issues
Return on Investment
- It improves the time taken to resolve the issue therefore client happier (in the simplest of terms)
- cost saving by reducing hours needed for a task
