JE Jamie Elliott Sr. Network Engineer - Contract Work Chose Progress WhatsUp Gold From a initial setup, WhatsUp takes Splunk down. I had WhatsUp up within minutes of monitoring and rebooting.

Likelihood to Recommend	Progress Software Corporation [Progress WhatsUp Gold (formerly Ipswitch WhatsUp Gold)] is good for what it is. An inexpensive but accurate monitor for alerting on systems and services. However, it is time consuming to configure, The GUI leaves a lot to be desired and the formatting for txt alerts stinks (I just use it now as an alert to check my email to view the actual alert.)

Pros	Progress Software Corporation Monitoring the connection; performance, switching, and issues. We use a broadband connection for our primary and a cellular backup for the secondary. While we use routing protocols to make this switch and WhatsUp isn't used for Syslog monitoring. it alerts us within seconds. Backup configurations and archiving. WhatsUp does this particularly well. I use it for both Cisco routers and switches. The diagram feature is nice. Though I don't use it as much because of the size of our structure, it does come in handy for mapping routes of all traffic.

Cons	Progress Software Corporation Navigating the new WhatsUp Gold 2018 is a bit complicated and not user-friendly. The best part about using a software is the user's ability to use it with ease. You cannot click sites being monitored from Map Dashboard View. This feature was previously possible in the older version. Incentivized Victor Adebayo IT Support Executive Read full review
