"Cisco Packet Tracer for Virtual Network Environment"
What do you like best about Cisco Packet Tracer?

We are using the Cisco Packet tracer for Network Prototype & Demo Network Creation. Cisco Packet tracer provides all the latest cisco devices and their ISO files for the test environment. We can also export the configuration & environment in pkt file. It is easy to install & configure. Cisco packet tracer also provides real-time simulations options as well. We can also configure the Server level configuration of the IDS environment on it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cisco Packet Tracer?

As far as we are using the Cisco Packet tracer, we have not faced any issues. It will be good if they can integrate third-party tools such as Wireshark. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best simulation software by Cisco to visualize/simulate a complex network in front of your eyes."
What do you like best about Cisco Packet Tracer?

I like the open-source nature of this tool. You can download this software from the official Cisco website and start creating a virtual simulation of the network you are trying to implement in your company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cisco Packet Tracer?

There is nothing to dislike about this tool. What more do you want from a free tool? It has everything you need for simulation. Although UI could improve in further versions, it doesn't matter much. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1. It's one of the free network simulator tools with who have netacad account and user-friendly application, most of the CISCO labs can achieve with this network simulator tool.

2. Newly available version 8.0 offers more features like IoT, etc.

3. we can easily create topologies without less CPU utilization

4. can create topologies and configure on a variety of Cisco products like switches, routers, Wireless LAN Controller(WLC), Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) firewall many more.

5. we can check packet traversing in created topology. we can see the rackable structure of the topology Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1. it is supporting cisco products only. this is main draw back.
