PingPlotter Reviews & Product Details

I had problems with video calls cutting out randomly. Using PingPlotter, I was able to "ping" a website every 2.5 seconds and isolate the problem to my Internet Service Provider. They sent me a replacement router and now, with PingPlotter, I can safely say I have run for a week with no outages. This is better than me having to have a week-long video call and logs all of my drops. I like that it runs in the background, and provides a graphical interface that shows outages (such as when I purposfully disconnected from wifi for 20 minutes).

I'd rather have a totally FREE utility. But at least they have a free trial. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

that it is not easy to export the information in a way that could be sent to someone else and have them review it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

PingPlotter highlights network problems in the click of a button. It can also show trends in the network issues. This makes troubleshooting easy and showing an ISP where your issues are become a dream. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes Pingplotter reports packet loss on internal equipment that does not have packet loss. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

By far what I like the most about PingPlotter is the UI, everything is so easy to digest and understand. The graphs and charts are all easy to read and super intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only gripe I have is there might be a slight learning curve to truly understand exactly what you are looking at! However, once you get over this slight hurdle everything is smooth sailing! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The feature I like the most is being able to run multiple pings and secondly, It shows the different hops the route takes and provides an excellent graph for showing to bosses who don't grasp the technical side of things. Fantastic! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There isn't much to not like about this program as it far exceeds a command-line prompt running a regular ping. Being able to run multiple pings to the same site and being able to choose different time intervals has me in awe. I can't think of one flaw that this program has. Overall it is a godsend in capturing critical data when it's needed most. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This software is extremely easy to use. What I noticed while using the free version was how stable it was. It ran for days indicating many hops. I bought the paid version to enjoy getting history and reports that I could send to my VOIP provider. While I don't see using this software often as a consumer, I love knowing the tool is available to me when I might need it in the future. This is SO MUCH better than the old plotting tools I was using. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I didn't understand how to "change versions" to start my trial and it wasn't obvious on their website how to get the least expensive version for a consumer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Clear graphical interface that makes it easy to spot errors and trends. Being able to have multiple trackers running lets you quickly find the problems. Also, the user tips and tricks get you to the source of your networking problem quickly, in a shareable format that can easily prove your point to ISPs and others. The detailed traceroute graphics also let you see the problems along your data path. The FAQ and manual are very thorough. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing much wrong here, but there is so much detail presented in the graphic display that you must read the background to understand some of the key items presented. Having a newbie mode with more live hover callouts explaining functions would make a faster learning curve. Maybe a staged user competence score would be a good reward incentive.

Super-lightweight. Not overbearing or technical. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Minor observation that isn't a deal-breaker. Sometimes accessing Sidekick and the Pingplotter Pro can get confusing at first. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I enjoyed using PingPlotter as I have been in a multiple month battle with my ISP who claims that my internet connection has no problems. I was able to use PingPlotter and so them proof that my internet was having issues thus making them actually take a look instead of blaming my hardware. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
