About PingPlotter
What is PingPlotter?
PingPlotter is a network diagnostic and monitoring tool that visualizes every hop between a device and an endpoint. It collects objective data on latency, packet loss, and jitter to help you pinpoint where slowdowns, dropouts, or disruptions occur—whether in your home network, office, or remote infrastructure. It runs continuously in the background, providing 24/7/365 monitoring with easy-to-read charts.
Who is it for?
PingPlotter is designed for IT professionals, network admins, and managed service providers who need to troubleshoot local or remote networks. It's also useful for home users experiencing constant buffering or gaming lag. It's ideal for businesses with remote workers needing to monitor internet health from a centralized dashboard. If you need only basic ping tests, a free version is available, but it's limited to 1 connection and no remote collection.
Real use cases
Use PingPlotter to identify congestion, packet loss, or device unavailability in your network. It's commonly used to share data with ISPs to get issues resolved faster, to monitor VoIP call quality, and to track performance over time. Contact centers and credit unions use it to ensure reliable connectivity for their staff. Learn more about how it works from the official product manual.
