Free SolarWinds alternative for Windows network engineers

Hop! is a free, standalone Windows desktop app for network engineers and sysadmins who need professional diagnostics tools without paying for expensive software like SolarWinds. Built with Electron + React + Node.js — no browser needed, no subscription, no limits.








Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I'm Gabriel, the developer behind Hop!
I built this because I needed a lightweight, free alternative to
SolarWinds Engineer's Toolset for my day-to-day network work.
Everything I found was either expensive, bloated, or required
a cloud subscription.
Hop! runs completely offline as a standalone Windows app —
just install and go. No account needed, no telemetry, no ads.
Would love to hear your feedback, especially from anyone
working in networking or sysadmin roles. What tools would
you add next?
