User Testimonials
	Backup Radar	SolarWinds Web Performance Monitor (WPM)
Likelihood to Recommend	ScalePad We have more than 2500 individual backup jobs across our customer base. With Backup Radar, I now have a detailed, accurate insight into all jobs. I do not have to wonder or doubt if the backup job did not run, it logs a "no result in 24 hours" ticket for me and if it failed, I get a failure ticket logged. It cannot be more simple. This is done across multiple different backup software. The reporting, be it on demand, or scheduled, is absolutely brilliant and super valuable Incentivized Martin Venter Senior Engineer Read full review	SolarWinds 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. Incentivized John Predmore Network Administrator Read full review
Pros	ScalePad Backup Monitoring (no successful backups in 24 hours) Automated Ticketing (Backup Radar logs the tickets in our PSA system) Automated Reporting (Daily, Weekly, and Monthly reporting) Incentivized Martin Venter Senior Engineer Read full review	SolarWinds Testing web applications Ability to log in to secure sections of websites in order to test user authentication Provides a detailed history of steps taken and provides print screens of each step. If an error occurs you can see the web page to better diagnose issues. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	ScalePad None offhand that I can think of Incentivized Martin Venter Senior Engineer Read full review	SolarWinds The recorder is clunky and must be run on a local machine. It does not support frames. Incentivized Scott Reese Server and Storage Administrator-2 Read full review
Support Rating	ScalePad No answers on this topic	SolarWinds Solarwinds support is top-notch, and while we rarely have to call them, they are always very helpful when we do. Incentivized Scott Reese Server and Storage Administrator-2 Read full review
Alternatives Considered	ScalePad Never used anything else similar to this Incentivized Martin Venter Senior Engineer Read full review	SolarWinds At the time we purchased WPM we were not aware of alternatives and therefore did not compare them. Incentivized John Predmore Network Administrator Read full review
Return on Investment	ScalePad Positive, the ROI is no match compared to the integrity and business reputation value we get by using Backup Radar, as we do not "resell" Backup Radar to our customers, it is our internal monitoring and reporting tool for the customers we look after. Incentivized Martin Venter Senior Engineer Read full review	SolarWinds 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.
