Three scanners, one queue
Same desk, three tools. This sheet records what each one closes quickly, what it leaves open, and what it costs to keep on the board.
| Field | Angry IP Scanner | LizardSystems Network Scanner | Engineer's Toolset |
|---|---|---|---|
| Price tag | Free, open source | Free edition + paid licence | Paid licence, trial available |
| Systems | Windows, macOS, Linux | Windows | Windows |
| Finds devices | Across any IP range | Across workgroups and domains | Across ranges with SNMP correlation |

The desk's verdict
Most households file one ticket and never need another: Angry IP Scanner for discovery. Add LizardSystems Network Scanner when Windows shares exist and somebody cares about their permissions. Book Engineer's Toolset when there is a switch with a login prompt and a person who asks for documentation.
