Well certainly those, but also troubleshooting problems with a slow network connection to pinpoint it, and if necessary showing stats to an ISP to prove the point as they usually have 100 other excuses.
In Network Administration we also use it to understand the network map or infraestructure without checking every device manually.
General network troubleshooting is also other use.
