Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Cisco Packet Tracer helped me in building complete virtual networks utilizing Cisco products, as the program includes all of Cisco's technical solutions, including routers, switches, and wireless devices. The tool is practical, easy to use, and free, and the design file can be shared with your team, saving me a lot of time and money and avoiding design errors.

Pros and Cons

Real time data monitoring
Packet analysis
Network geolocation design

CLI, It would be great if we can use multiple tapes in a single window.
It is limited to Cisco products only, there is no integration with other companies.
Improve UI customisation and writing settings.

Likelihood to Recommend

Cisco Packet Tracer is a very good option for technical educational institutes interested in the field of networking. Instead of setting up a real lab with real equipment that costs thousands of dollars, it can be dispensed with, and using Cisco Packet Tracer as a very good alternative, trainees can practice any time any where.
