Netbeez Review and Quickstart

There is no shortage of utilities, applications and full blown network troubleshooting systems out there. Some are free, and some cost a pretty penny. Spoiler alert, they ALL have their place in the analysts’ toolbox. When I present or work with a client, I explain the tools only accounts to 50% of the equation to successfully fixing a problem. The other 50% is split between knowledge and practice. Think about it for a moment, anyone can buy a pocket knife, but only a few of us can carve something recognizable out of a block of wood. NetBeez provides a very helpful free version of its product so you can get a feel of what it can do and where it might fit into your specific environment. In the past I would have to figure out how to schedule, report results and then compile them for a report. Any one of those challenges would immediately turn off most analysts since we have plenty on our plates already. Look at good old ping for a moment. Sure anyone can ping something I tested the free virtual appliance, which you can find here https://netbeez.net/product/plans/netbeez-free.
