"System utility software as a key component when administrating and managing ICT network environments. I'm careful about the tools I use because I want them to be effective and affordable. In addition to the traditional tools from Microsoft, McAfee, and other providers, I use some very specific tools, especially for managing the network. These include SolarWinds Remote Monitoring and Management, Kaseya VSA, LogicMonitor, and Sensu. I have longstanding relationships with most of these vendors and even get the suit some of the products in their beta or pre-release form."

This question is a hybrid between operational and technical. The interviewer will ask this type of question to confirm that you understand the importance of ICT Utilities, know where to get them, and to gain some information on the programs you prefer to use. As a seasoned ICT professional, you should be able to answer this question easily and give some examples of recent software utilities you've downloaded.

"As an ICT administrator, I'm constantly looking for new tools and utilities to use to maintain the integrity and performance of the networks I manage. I have a few go-to software programs that I use. These include the McAfee suite of antivirus programs, WinZip for file compression, Paragon Partition Manager for disk management, and Razer Cortex for disk cleanup. I usually obtain these directly from the manufacturer's website."
