9Ping

9Ping is a tiny and portable software application that gives you the possibility to send ping requests to up to nine different hosts at the same time. It doesn't contain complicated options or customization preferences, making it accessible to all types of users.

Portability perks

Thanks to the fact that there's no installation involved, you can save the executable file anywhere on the disk and just click it to run 9Ping. Otherwise, you can move it to an external storage device to launch it on any machine effortlessly and without previously installing anything. What's more, it doesn't create new entries in the Windows registry.

Plain-looking interface

The GUI doesn't contain visually stunning elements but it's quite simple to get around. There are nine panes available for each IP address or host name you specify, so you can ask the tool to execute the Ping command immediately afterward.

Execute pings and enable email alerts

In addition, you can create and manage bookmarks, examine log details with any errors or disable logging, deactivate program sounds, indicate a name for each pane with the IP address to identify them easier, switch to compact, basic or detailed viewing mode, modify the default timeout and time between two pings, as well as enable email alerts.

Evaluation and conclusion

No error dialogs were shown in our tests, and the app didn't hang or crash. It had a good response time and minimal impact on computer performance, using low CPU and RAM. The bottom line is that 9Ping offers a simple and reliable solution to performing ping on multiple hosts at once, backed by intuitive customization settings.
