AlertBot Website Monitoring vs. SolarWinds Web Performance Monitor (WPM)

It is well suited for a business that wants simplistic web monitoring of their websites. It does a great job of alerting depending on how you fine-tune the timers.

We've found WPM to be a fit for every web application that we wanted to monitor. If you have a web app that you'd like monitoring/alerting for then WPM may work for you. So far our only struggles have been when after logging in the app launches a new tab.

Descent product just doesn't have many advanced features that I know of.

Solarwinds support is top-notch, and while we rarely have to call them, they are always very helpful when we do.

As I have reviewed previously. It offers more positive and friendly stuff when it comes to its application. It doesn't redirect visitors elsewhere and also gives updates when the website is being tampered or hacked. Even though there is a delay on updates but the good thing is, it suggest solutions to every incident.

At the time we purchased WPM we were not aware of alternatives and therefore did not compare them.

Incentivized

• It needs a large capital.
• ROI is good.
• Fast ROI.

• Better reporting of down states to allow for SLA reporting
• Better alerting during certain failure conditions which allows the IT org to respond faster
• More thorough history to review past errors and see screenshots of the errors.
