The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

network software

Asked by mikey250 in Network Analysis Software

1.  Is there anything out there I can use to take along to someones company network in order to assist me in asking structured questions, dependant on the companies needs, ie exchange server use, servers, backup, etc etc, you know to appear as professional as one can be?

I have played around with 2 inventory type packages below and they were straight forward. One of the layouts was better than the other, as in user friendly to the eye!! and the 3rd below i couldnt use but had the ability to create an actual diagram of someones network, instead of my actually drawing one.  this would enable a more reliable conversation to occur with this.

- newtpro professional 2.5 - seems to be straight forward to use
- tri-setup (Total Network Inventory) - seems to be straight forward to use
- plixer-scrutinizer-win32 - installed but it wouldnt allow me to continue for some reason.  It also creates a diagram of the network topologies in place on someones network, which is useful rather than trying to pictures someones network myself.

2.  Im basically looking for a list of structured questions I can ask a customer?
3.  Something like the software above that can also print network topologies off and list a a networks make up in some individual order, which can also be printed off to discuss and view with customer & list and individuals pc makeup and updates, service packs, ip address etc etc?

4.  Also what is a technology assessment: 513.490.9887 ?

5.  Can anyone assist or show me something I can look at on those 15 day evaluations?

 there is other programs out there but not sure what I maybe missing as it is the ECONOMIC crisis and everyone is going through hard times when it comes to the cost of things!!
