Peripatetic or multitasking networkers will like the portable network indicator, which sits in front of the resident software and provides a snapshot of the network.

As for catches, the biggest problem right now is that B-Watch will only begin shipping during the third quarter, bringing the usual kinks faced by new software.
Scalability is also in question.
There are currently SLA monitors out there with similar functionality, and high-end network management platforms also offer some of the same capabilities.
