Simple IPs Manager

Network admins often need to ping the computers on their network to ensure they are still up and running, or they might want to perform a traceroute on one of the IPs.

Simple IPs Manager is a useful utility that can come in handy for any of these tasks, along with some additional ones.

The application installs without any issues so that you can get started with its functions without seconds. You need to first mention the IP range you want to scan, then wait until all the results are displayed (the larger the range, the more time it takes to complete the analysis).

Once this step has been completed, you get a detailed list about the computers associated to each IP - more precisely, you get the MAC address and the computer name, as well as the vendor name.

You can right-click one of the records and copy to clipboard various types of details, such as IP address, MAC address, group name, vendor or PC description.

The context menu of Simple IPs Manager can also be accessed when you want to perform a specialized task like ping - alternatively, you can open the Tools menu and select the one that interests you.

If you go for traceroute or ping, your Command Prompt will automatically be launched and perform these tasks - if you are a novice user, this can even teach you some commands that you turn to later on; however, experts probably prefer to perform these actions themselves, without relying on a GUI that only slows them down.

To wrap it up, it seems that Simple IPs Manager is addressed mainly at beginners who want to learn their way around networks and are looking for a user-friendly utility for scanning IPs, displaying MAC addresses or performing traceroutes.
