If you're a network administrator, your number one task is to ensure that your network does not go down at any point.

However, monitoring whether this happens is easier said than done but IsItUp provides an easy one stop solution for small networks. The program monitors multiple "pingable" TCP/IP devices around the clock and notifies you, via email or pager, of the status of a particular device. It lets you know when it goes down and when it comes back up again. The application keeps comprehensive stats for each device it monitors including up time, maximum response time, minimum response time, standard deviation and more. Most useful of all however, it tracks the last successful and last failed Traceroute to a destination so it can determine where the break-down occurred. In addition, it's a great tool for those on the move because it has both a Web and a Windows User interface that allows you to check your network status from any location.

For medium to small sized network administrators, this is a powerful tool which allows you to track your network performance from any location.

The application lets you very quickly verify the connectivity between two machines, as well as the response time, and the availability of other networks, by posting ECHO data using the ICMP protocol. Rather than having to blunder your way through DOS commands, you can use Ping Test Easy to create groups, specify rankings to your pings, define the size of packets, the interval of delivery, and you can store all your results in a text file.

Xtreme Link Analyzer lets you know many interesting statistics about your web-site and your competitors' websites. Within seconds it analyzes the Google and Alexa page rank, then gives you the number of backlinks of all major search engines and finally lets you know how many indexed pages that specific website has.

In case you didn't know, PageRank is Google's way of deciding a page's importance and it varies from 0-10. Alexa ranking on the other hand, comes from the traffic of Alexa Toolbar users. The information is sorted, sifted, anonymized, counted, and computed in order to get the traffic rankings shown in the Alexa service. Elsewhere, backlinks are incoming links to web page. The number of backlinks is an indication of the popularity or importance of that page.

Unfortunately, the application doesn't show you the websites that are linking to yours, or why you have received a certain rank by search engines. Although this information can be found manually on the main page of search engines, it would have been useful to have it included in the program. That said, using this application you can get a general idea about where your web site needs to improve, and consider the position of your competitors and their incoming links. The graphic design and the navigation menu are quite poor and the application doesn't feature any comparison graph or the ability to export to a spreadsheet utility.

If you are curious to have a look at your website's rank and the number of backlinks you receive, have a look at Xtreme Link Analyzer, even if ultimately, it's nothing more that an aggregator of information.
