So we’re gonna fix that! A clearer vision This has often resulted in Pro becoming a kitchen sink while Standard functioned as a “not-Pro” for.not pros? Less than helpful. This growing lack of clear distinction between our editions and who they are for (or how they match up against different use cases) has made it challenging to develop features for one edition of PingPlotter that would not make sense for another. Which version is right for me, they ask, and our reply is a reasonably unhelpful ALL OF THEM! PROBABLY! WHEE! This has made for a tricky situation when it comes to people new to PingPlotter. All the while, our previous solutions have remained intact, even after we’ve created better versions. Our remote agents eventually became PingPlotter Cloud. Our efforts to solve every type of network problem inspired us with new possibilities of what we might create. We expanded PingPlotter’s alert system and included new ways to share performance data with others. We added software agents to extend PingPlotter to external devices and created a web interface to support remote access and multiple users. Through the years, we’ve added new features and capabilities to help solve unique challenges in ways we never could have imagined two decades ago. PingPlotter hasn’t changed, but it’s also changed a ton. However, that singular mission - to reduce the tedium and frustration around network issues - has been and always will be our guiding star. What started as a way to prove to ISPs why players were having a bad time connecting to a Quake server has grown to become a tool that helps end-users and IT pros across the globe find and fix just about every network issue under the sun. If there’s one mantra we’ve had for PingPlotter, it’d be “make network troubleshooting suck less.”įor 23 years now, we have kept that single idea in mind. Today, we wanted to talk a bit about what’s changing for existing users (nothing!), future customers (something!), and how it all relates to where we’re going in the near future.īut first, let’s chat about where we are right now. These changes will begin taking place on July 1st, 2021, and will help communicate our vision for the next season of PingPlotter. To help everyone find the best PingPlotter for their unique problem, we’re making some long-overdue adjustments to our product editions. As we continue to develop new and better ways of solving challenging network problems, we sometimes need to make updates that recontextualize our solutions for people discovering PingPlotter for the first time.
"Always in motion is the future,” a wise puppet once said. PingPlotter Professional is receiving a major update in the near future.
