Network Radar 4+

Feature-rich, and while some releases have had an occasional bug, the developer is very responsive and very quick to resolve issues. I highly recommend this for your networking toolkit, and I personally use it multiple times a week.

There is now a version for iOS as well. For Windows you’ll still have to use Angry IP Scanner instead.

Hi there,

Thanks for the kind review! That keeps us motivated and we are looking forward to making the app even better with updates in the future. :)

This app would have actually been useful if it included a packet sniffer, sometimes called a network monitor. This capability already exists in Mac OS and Linux variants as the TCP dump command but the output is not very easily readable or searchable. Network professionals need the aability to capture network traffic from different points on a network including client hosts. We need the ability to filter on a specific address and see exactly the packets being sent to or from that address, where they are going, what port they are using, what protocol they belong to, ie, TcP, UDP, SMB, RDP, and so on. I had the impression this app perhformed that function but I was mislead by the description. The only thing this app does is catalogue your network hosts and tell yo uwhich ones are online or offline at the moment. AppleS Remote Desktop app does everything this one does granted for a higher price but also includes masively expanded functionality. At the least this app could have included a packet sniffer for network monitoring but it does not and such is hardly useful at all.

Hi there and thanks for your feedback. I am now working on integrating a packet sniffer for one of the next updates of Network Radar.

Attempting to use this as an IT technician in our small/medium sized environment. Scans are taking up to 45 minutes and that is fine but it crashes consistantly without any crash-report window at all, it just disappears and closes. (update, the developer notified me to say that they were receiving crash reports with data, I was never told this was even happening within the interface at all.) Running on latest release of Catalina and an older High Sierra workstation. I can’t seem to get this application to report vendor name of devices in results, many of the fields that are disabled by default do not work. The performance of this application seems a bit like a step back to the days of Java applications- it’s laggy and resource heavy. Others like lanscan is extremely lightweight, fast, and immediately resolves vendor names.

Hi Steve,

Thanks for your feedback. I've got your crash reports. They are being sent in the background without user interaction needed. Network Radar version 2.8 will be released very soon. It will most likely fix the issue that causes the crash as well. If not, please send me a short notice to support@witt-software.com.

Thanks for your patience.

Regards
Daniel
