EMCO Ping Monitor uses ICMP pings to track host availability and connection quality, including packet loss, latency and jitter. It can produce PDF and HTML reports for saving, email or FTP delivery, on demand or on a schedule. Notifications include email, Windows Tray and sound; events can also run custom commands, scripts or executables. Custom actions can connect the software to third-party event managers or help desks, and raw ping data can be exported as CSV. The self-hosted product is for Windows, with a web interface to review host state, quality and statistics and start or stop monitoring. Host and settings management requires the GUI client. Its stated technical limit is 32,000 hosts, while modern hardware can monitor 8,000 or more with low system workload. Free Edition covers up to 5 hosts. Professional Edition — Single Copy costs 199.00 USD per once; Enterprise Edition — Single Copy costs 445.00 USD per once. Both are perpetual version 9 licenses. A 30-day Enterprise trial provides all program features, then the program reverts to Free.
