1、 Compare with hardware monitoring, using software to monitor LAN computers has advantages as below:
　　1)、 First,Low price, software cost less than hardware. If user has only a few computers, using software to monitor computer is much cheaper.
　　2)、 Second, hardware has its service lifetime.The cost of hardware maintenance is high. If there is any crash/failture of hardware, user need to purchase again. Using software to monitor computer has not this kind of problems.
　　3)、 Using software, it's much easier to update to adapt Internet development.
　　4)、 Compared with hardware, using software to monitor is much easier to install.
　　5)、 Using hardware to monitor computer will affect the speed and bandwidth of network. But using software to monitor has not this kind of problem.
2、 Compare with other types of monitor software, using content control software has following advantages:
　　1)、 Connection control software is very easy to install, but has only a few functions.
　　2)、 Content control software doesn't need installed on monitored computers, and has only one engine. It is much convenient, and easier to hide.
　　3)、 Content control software always has powerful functions. That is network administrator desire.
3、 Compare with other content control software, LaneCat has following advantages:
　　1)、LaneCat has powerful low-layer driver which is developed by our own. That makes LaneCat has ability to monitor G-level data flow. Other software uses free WinPcap program which designed to 10M data flow and will be unequal to the large data flow.
　　2)、LaneCat has ability to monitor multi-NICs, but other software which based on WinPcap can only monitor one NIC.
　　3)、 LaneCat uses SQL database as its database.SQL is a kind of truly effective network database and support SQL Server update.
　　4)、 LaneCat has specially designed low-layer, that makes LaneCat has repid response capability, high efficiency..
　　5)、 In our test, LaneCat captured almost all data packages in G-level data flow network within hours. Software which bases on WinPcap will lost data packages in that test.
　　6)、 LaneCat is base on Client / Server architecture to support remote management and viewing , support multi-level access management.
　　7)、 LaneCat can write data which captured from LaneCat.Engine into database directly, that improve LaneCat performance.
　　8)、 LaneCat only tansmit information that user inquired. That avoid useless data transfer and waste of network resource.
　　9)、 LaneCat Support monitoring on MSN chat.
　　10)、LaneCat has user friendly interface. User can use it without reading user manual.
　　11)、LaneCat has very simplified monitor schemes to fit user's need.
　　12)、LaneCat has plentiful and practical functions of monitoring report；
　　13)、 LaneCat has perfect functions of monitoring record compressing, backup, export and recovering.
　　14)、 LaneCat can not only monitor data flow but control LAN data flow as well.
　　15)、 LaneCat uses hardware key to Regist/Verificate.
