I have experience using NetSim Network Simulator for learning and practicing network configurations and troubleshooting in a lab environment. It’s an excellent tool for simulating various networking scenarios, including complex routing, switching, and security configurations. I used it primarily to practice for Cisco certifications, where it allowed me to work on scenarios involving protocols like OSPF, EIGRP, BGP, and various LAN/WAN technologies. The simulation is close to real-world environments, which helped solidify my understanding of networking concepts without the need for physical hardware.

My knowledge has improved.

3 stars Great for Guided Learning, Lacking in Independent CLI Navigation

NetSim excels in providing a structured, step-by-step learning experience, which is fantastic for building muscle memory through guided practice. However, this hand-holding approach somewhat hinders the development of independent CLI navigation and troubleshooting skills crucial for real-world scenarios and exams. The sudden absence of IP tables in certain sections leaves users like me at a loss, unprepared to recall or discover network configurations independently. To truly prepare for certification exams, NetSim should gradually reduce these aids, encouraging users to rely on their memory and CLI navigation skills more, simulating the exam environment where such crutches are absent. I wish I could also hide the command summary tables. They are the first thing you see when scrolling down the Lab Document. Rating: 3 stars - Effective for guided learning but needs to foster more independent practice for comprehensive exam readiness.

I should have used the trial before purchasing for the year. I expected a standalone application that a friend of mine used. It was my fault for not investigating better. It took some time to realize, that despite there being history of when I stated labs that they can't be opened where I started. I am required to manually save an exam that I want to return to.

Thank you for your feedback, we're sorry NetSim Network Simulator has not lived up to your expectations. We are currently developing an auto-save feature for a future release of NetSim that should address these issues.
