EMCO Ping Monitor

EMCO is the cream of the crop when it comes to Ping Monitoring solutions. Ranging from the Free Version to the Enterprise Edition, this utility can perform ping monitoring of just a few hosts to thousands of hosts.

EMCO is trusted by brands like Prada, Verizon, Starbucks, and CitiBank – to name a few. It uses Ping to detect connection outages and monitors hosts in real-time by dedicated working threads so you can get real-time statistics and notifications.

  • All of the statistical information gathers regarding the pings can be represented visually by a variety of charts. The application can automatically generate reports in different formats representing the host statistics you want to see.
  • Detects and alerts you if there are connection outages.
