jNetMap Reviews

I have tried numerous network mapping approaches these last couple of weeks, none of which have satisfied me (for example the zenmap extension to nmap, also Observium, also Cacti, NetDisco, openNMS, nwdiag, Nagios and a few others I can't remember). jNetmap on the other hand has fulfilled exactly what I was looking for - thanks for writing and releasing it - and I have managed to map my whole home LAN. I can add elements which aren't able to be autodetected (e.g. un-managed 4 port switches).

Excellent tool and the only real alternative to Watch I have come across. There are 1000 ping type monitoring tools, but only jNetMap that allows you to position network objects where you want them, using an image as a background, for example

Thank you very much for the program distributed under a free open license!

So, I read all the way down this doesn't work on Win 10 thread and discovered that.5.5-686 still isn't the current download, but I followed the links and found it. Windows and Defender both gave me dire warnings. And, at least I got a Jnetmap app screen, but there is no actual map, the screen is white paper. So, I poked around and tried a "port scan" which crashed the app and will not let me close it. I'm off to find the task manager shortcut to kill it......... Found it, but jnetmap isn't listed, just java. Killing that gave me my computer back. I'll check back in a month or two to see if this app works for Win 10.

Very useful. Couldn't maintain our network effectively without it. Would love to see plugins that could monitor protocols such as DNS and http in the future...

Easy to setup the network and the monitoring with latency per device is useful.

Little piece of software, great diagnostic tool.

This is an amazing utility that allows you monitor your network from anywhere. The email function adds tremendous flexibility. Tweaking different detection methods will really optimize the efficiency of this fantastic program. I'm so glad I found this gem to put in my networking tool chest.

Excellent tool to make sense of your network.

Great! Could you add arping function to this tool?

Very nice app :)

I love having a simple (much easier than some of the heavy duty monitoring tools) program that can show me what's up right now. There's still some polish stuff that needs to be done to make it better (Aug 2011) but its an awesome start and I'm using it every day.
