Our review
Pros	Layer 2 maps and network discovery are available in Professional Edition. Flow protocols support traffic and bandwidth analysis. Alerts include email, SMS, webhook, and mobile notifications.	Scheduled scans update maps when devices are added or removed. Uses multiple discovery sources, including SNMP, WMI, CDP, and LLDP. Offers force-directed, hierarchy, and grid map layouts.
Cons	The free edition is limited to three devices. Traffic analysis is an add-on capability. Enterprise Edition starts at $4,595 annually for 250 devices.

Monitoring and integrations are more limited than broader network platforms.
