Network Ferret Personal offers a user-friendly interface for monitoring and analyzing network traffic, making it a valuable tool for both novice and expert users, but suffers from performance issues on larger networks.
2025 Editor's Rating
Network Ferret is built to peer into networks. Rather than focusing on complex user tweaks we focus on solid detection, connection and control of network devices keeping the under the hood details under the hood. This allows you to focus on the job and not the tools.

Built on the principle of user driven development Network Ferret constantly evolves based on the needs of its users. This gives us the ability to rapidly grow with changing needs and technologies. Network Ferret gives you all of the standard network scanner features like host detection, share detection and network services detection with quick simplified connection to all of those as well. That's just the beginning. The pro version allows scanning of all networks connected to your PC at the same time, so if your network includes VM's on a host network or managing servers on a VPN you can see it all in one simplified display. The goal of our user driven development is to make the scanner do what YOU need it to do. All you have to do is ask. And the means to ask is baked into every part of the user interface.

As an added benefit to early adopters that buy the 1.x version you will get the 2.x and 3.x versions free and your upgrade price will never increase beyond that. We currently have a full time developer working on Network Ferret so, combined with the user participation model, it is like having an IT developer on your staff as well.

Give the free version a try. It is not time limited. Once you see the value of the product consider upgrading to the pro version during the 1.x version to lock in the opportunity. A complete roadmap for upcoming versions can be found on our product page. User suggested features will be added to the roadmap and the program at all times.

As always Magic Box Software IT tools are built to empower the independent service provider to provide more value to customers at a price that makes cost irrelevant. Try Network Ferret and see why our customers keep coming back.

I am an editor at UpdateStar. I started as a support engineer, and am now specialized in writing about general software topics from a usability and performance angle among others. I telecommute from UpdateStar’s Berlin office, when I am not working remote as a digital nomad for UpdateStar. When I'm not analyzing the latest software updates, you can find me exploring new cities, immersing myself in local cultures, and discovering innovative tech trends across the globe.
