"I have used Cisco Packet Tracer for a long time. Its useful to build up the blueprint of a network."
What do you like best about Cisco Packet Tracer?

We can stimulate the network as the real network works. We can transform our idea and can understand its pros and cons. We can build different network architectures using cisco packet tracer. We can also experiment with those architecture using cisco packet tracer. The packet tracer works pretty fast. I haven't found any bug in that software yet and connects to the internet very easily. The interface is also very nice Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cisco Packet Tracer?

Not every protocol works. Like the new version of the packet tracer doesn't support some older protocols. It creates some complexity. Like if a new version arrives we have to abandon a lot of things that we have learned in the previous version. There is a limitation in the guest login. The number of attempts can be increased.

"Perfecting Teaching for Computer Networks"
What do you like best about Cisco Packet Tracer?

The vast library of devices, easy to navigate interface, Simulation mode for understanding the packet traveling and information sharing. The wide variety of free courses also actively use the tool and make it excellent choice to use in classrooms instead of providing actual access to Networking Hardware. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cisco Packet Tracer?

I think with the large number of devices (>200), the program starts to get non-responsive so performance issues is the thing i dislike the most. Also newer interface color scheme is not futuristic, older was much better. Wish they bring it back Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

it is very easy to use, easy to design network, all type of connections available to work and learn with cisco packet tracer. it has many routers with inbuilt OS so we not need to find OS for the same over the internet so it is very helpful and we directly start our work without wasting our time over the internet Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cisco Packet Tracer?

i didnt find any dislikes in Cisco Packet tracer, but may be looking for firewall devices in cisco packet tracer.

id dont support other brand devices like dell L3 switch, because we use the same in actual work environment.

some time some specific model didn't find in cisco packet tracer so we need to run the same with similar device instead of actual device Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Two years of using packet tracer at college"
What do you like best about Cisco Packet Tracer?

The ability to simulate many different scenarios that is just like real equipment without needing the actual heavy, expensive equipment. From connecting cables to entering commands it is as close as you can get without using the real stuff. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cisco Packet Tracer?

Even though it is very close, there are quite a few things that are different on packet tracer compared to real equipment. Many commands have to be changed or modified to work on real routers from packet tracer. Some protocols don't work the same between the two, which can be frustrating when working on a project and needing to move it over. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Its been an amazing experience with this software and i loved it."
What do you like best about Cisco Packet Tracer?

It can be used anywhere, you don’t have to carry it. Once you install it in your laptop, it can be carried even in USP.The major advantage is “sim mode”. This is not available in real gear. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cisco Packet Tracer?

I was working on different protocols like BGP, OSPF, RIP and i found that it have no support for debugging “OSPF packets and Hellos”, Otherwise it is good to use for all protocols. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"It is in close connection with the real cisco devices and has same interface design"
What do you like best about Cisco Packet Tracer?

It emulates the actual devices with Cisco commands.I would recommend Cisco packet tracer because it help you understand cisco command and devices better than any software as you are also able to view the physical ports and add / remove extensions as in real world. It is easy and simple in design. Cisco help is wonderful if you get stuck/have any doubts. Overall its a good package Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cisco Packet Tracer?

There are only old devices to simulate. It would be good if new cisco devices are added with addition of all cisco commands on a real device rather than hiding some Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
