4 stars The best practise simulator
1/27/2012 5:48:09 AM - giuseppe - bari, IT

I wanna give my host feedback about this: The exsim is absolutely great and it is really likes the real exam. Concerning this simulator, i think it is just ok but not perfect at all. I have used packet tracer for my practising.
The simulator is useful at the very beginning, when you really do not know anything about CLI and command to issue.
I am gonna see if it will help me with CCNP

4 stars My experience with NetSim

The labs include all the important CCNA topics giving you a broad scope, and in some cases I prefer it to the actual equipment. Although when I first started studying for my CCNA, the real equipment gave me a better understanding of how things work. Then later I switched to the simulations because they covered more ground, it's less expensive than the real equipment, and you get through the material a little faster.

There are a few minor errors in the lab, which can be irritating. But in general it is a good product.
