Open Visual Traceroute vs PingPlotter
This alternative is disputed. Open Visual Traceroute is still a legitimate alternative to PingPlotter, but it might have issues that some users think are important.

Doesn't do multiple simultaneous traces, no continuous monitoring. Log files not sufficient.

4 alternatives to Bping
Bping (pronounced "beeping") is a Windows ping alternative that beeps whenever it gets replies. I spend a lot of time diving under desks fiddling with network cables and got tired of looking up at the monitor to see how my pings were doing, and thus bping was born.
