SoftPerfect Network Scanner is a reliable and quick application that allows you to browse through your network and manage it with ease. Being an anti-malware utility, this tool also plays the role of a professional IT administrator or an ordinary person who wants to understand what is on the home network, since it all appears in front of you. It is supported on Windows, macOS, and Linux, and does not even require an installation: it can be simply run off a USB stick.
The easy-to-use interface and great scan features make it so you can find all online devices, view which ports are open on them, check out shared folders (including the hidden ones), and collect system information such as what people is logged in, how long a device has been online, and IP/MAC addresses. It also provides a large number of sophisticated methods to gather information, including WMI, SNMP, HTTP, SSH, and PowerShell.
To pros, SoftPerfect Network Scanner has all the additional functions, such as the ability to pass commands remotely, Wake-On-LAN, shutdown commands, and can be part of Nmap testing. All of your results may also be exported to formats such as Excel, JSON, or plain text and used to report, or even analysed further. It is a whole package to any individual thinking of maintaining his/her network to be organized, secured, and in control.
