User Testimonials
	SolarWinds Web Performance Monitor (WPM)	StatusCake
Likelihood to Recommend	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.

Pros	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	StatusCake (TrafficCake Limited) No answers on this topic
Cons	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	StatusCake (TrafficCake Limited) No answers on this topic
Support Rating	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	StatusCake (TrafficCake Limited) No answers on this topic
Alternatives Considered	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	StatusCake (TrafficCake Limited) No answers on this topic
Return on Investment	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.
