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.

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.

What's great about packet tracer is that you can use it to visualize the proper flow of various network protocols. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Honestly, I really can't find anything I don't like bout Packet Tracer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

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.

The best character about packet tracer is that is lightweight compared to emulators that require cpu and memory and can slow down your device Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The lack of SD-access and SD-Wan support, l think in the next version this issue should be resolved Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cicsco packet tracer is free available tool to practice the network design. All the cisco network devices are availible which you can use to simualte the network. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The user interface is bit old and needs to be updates. There are few devices and feature not availbele with new technology. Those needs to be added to the library. 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.

2. Few network devices will not work as a realtime network simulators tool like GNS3,Eve-NG. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Packet tracer provides simple and complete network environment you can find all Cisco solutions with a simple click and no need to worry about CPU and RAM utilization Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

when you have more than switchs or routers, each one will open in a different window , so it would be great if we can open different tapes in single window Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Packet tracer is very intutive & user-friendly tool. It is a free tool from Cisco that helps me create labs to simulate routers, switches, Firewalls, and many more devices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We can run limited commands using this tool so it is difficult to complete all scenarios of a networking lab. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
