Nmap Reviews

The ability to scan networks with different protocols and have the ability to define exactly how the scan will operate.

Nmap is a basic tool, one that I am sure is in all engineer's toolkit, as it can scan for a multitude of systems and devices, and even can scan for vulnerabilities in our systems or in customer systems.

GUI always seems to be the direction everything is moving towards. I prefer the CLI.

For about 12 years.

Not really.

No.

I have never tried to use the technical support, because there are plenty of examples that one can find on how to use it on the internet.

I was using a SolarWinds product before I found Nmap.

Very simple installation.

It's free.

Not really, it’s free.

It’s an excellent tool and allows it’s users a multitude of solutions to scan a network.

We use it to obtain information about the target entity, such as its services, open ports, and potentially even its operating system.

It enables us to delve deeper and identify the services and open ports on the system and visualize this information on a dashboard automatically.

The challenge often lies in finding suitable courses and professional resources. While a wealth of training materials and documentation is available online, it can be difficult to locate professional training that imparts real-world usage insights for a product.

I have been working with it for thirteen years.

I would rate its stability features ten out of ten.

I would rate its scalability features seven out of ten.

The initial setup is straightforward.

Overall, I would rate it seven out of ten.

Nmap works as a basic diagnostic and security tool. It helps us discover open ports and check connectivity.

Nmap has a powerful command line tool and a set of diagnostic features. It enables us to check connectivity and discover open ports.

There could be a specific option to check non-pingable endpoints for the product.

We never encountered any system downtime.

We have five Nmap users in our organization. We can scan large networks and control speed as well. Thus, it has good features for scalability.

I referred to support documentation and forums to resolve the technical issues.

It is a command line tool. Thus, we have to install and run it.

I am exploring a lot of products. However, I am still looking for an alternative for this particular tool.

It is a great and simple tool. I rate it a nine out of ten.
