### "Nmap Review"

September 8, 2019

5.0

Nmap is one of the best free network tools you should have in your toolbox. It allows you to scan any device to find out what ports and services are available.

Pros

It is open source. It is very powerful and there is so much you can do with it. It allows you to scan your network easily to see what ports are open on your devices. It has great community support and can easily be used to being pen testing your environment.

Cons

Some of the commands can be confusing and can take some time to master.

### "Really great software if you know how to use it properly"

June 20, 2018

5.0

Intense network scanning capabilities.

Pros

It is free open-source software, so anyone can use it. I like all of the different scan intensity levels you can set depending on how aggressively you need it to search the network. I also appreciate that they have a GUI outside of the default CLI that most people use.

Cons

You have to learn a lot about the software in order to really utilize it to its fullest potential. I am also not crazy about the layout/design of the GUI.

### "scan all kinds of network and subnets."

February 21, 2019

4.0

Pros

Nmap can be used to scan all kinds of networks and subnets. It works efficiently for all operating systems. It is quite fast and thoroughly scans the network.

Cons

The updates provided by nmap are not timely and may slow down the software. Its network scans are very noisy. Its features are limited to searching and pinging IP addresses
