    While it doesn't reflect route changes in real-time, it does allow a very quick ping interval. A very good free option.

    Nagios would be better if you need a service that monitors multiple devices. PingPlotter can handle multiple device monitoring, and there is some slight overlap, but is more for single-target temporary monitoring and is far less suited to long-term monitoring.

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

    Free version offers more than PingPlotter's free does. Though full PngPlotter is more feature reach.
