NetworkMiner doesn’t pretend to replace Wireshark. It doesn’t try to interpret packet logic or rebuild every protocol in full. What it does — and does well — is surface the high-value stuff fast: who talked, what moved, and what devices were involved.

LANState Free won’t give deep metrics, SNMP graphs, or historical uptime stats. That’s not the point. It’s about seeing what’s there, right now — clearly, visually, and with minimal friction.

PRTG isn’t perfect — it’s Windows-only, and the UI can feel a little dense at first. But once it’s up, it just runs. No agents. No broken updates. No guessing which graph is relevant.

No agents. No dashboards. No setup. Fing isn’t going to replace your monitoring stack, but it’ll help you find out what’s really connected when it matters most.
