SoftPerfect
Australian software development company specialising in network management applications
SoftPerfect is a software development company that produces network and system utilities for home users and small to medium businesses. Its products address common IT tasks such as network discovery, bandwidth monitoring, internet usage control, and performance optimisation. For example, the Network Scanner helps administrators inventory devices and retrieve system information across a network, while the RAM Disk and RAM File System tools improve computer performance by storing temporary data in memory instead of on slower physical drives.
The product line includes a range of specialised tools. Network Scanner supports IPv4/IPv6 discovery, ping sweeps, port scanning, and information retrieval via WMI, SNMP, HTTP, SSH, and PowerShell. NetWorx monitors internet connection usage and speed, while NetGenius controls per-application bandwidth. WiFi Guard detects unknown devices on a small network, and Switch Port Mapper reports what is connected to managed switch ports. Connection Emulator simulates poor network conditions for testing, and Bandwidth Manager applies traffic-shaping rules. Free tools include Cache Relocator, TFTP Server, Ping Monitor, Certificate Monitor, and IP Calculator. Most products are available on Windows, macOS, and Linux.
These tools are aimed at IT professionals, system administrators, network engineers, and general users who need to manage or secure their networks. Commercial products offer a free trial with unlimited duration but limited functionality—for instance, Network Scanner displays a maximum of 10 devices. Licensing is per seat, with various licence types and discounts available, though exact prices are not listed on the site.
