User Testimonials
	SolarWinds Web Performance Monitor (WPM)	Tivoli Monitoring (legacy)
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. Incentivized John Predmore Network Administrator Read full review	Discontinued Products If you are looking for a software that looks decent but is not something you truly rely on, this is it. I have had bad experiences with IBM Tivoli Monitoring reporting on system errors that were not evident on the systems themselves at all. There is a lot of specific alerting you can set up which is nice. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
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	Discontinued Products The GUI is easy to read. The software is fairly easy to configure. Almost real-time. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
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	Discontinued Products The software is not reliable at all. Reports errors that are false-negatives. Hard to configure alarms/alerts. Bulky installation (takes up quite a bit of space). Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
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	Discontinued Products 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	Discontinued Products We selected IBM Tivoli Monitoring as a bundle deal, other than that I would have probably gone with another vendor. We use Brocade Network Advisor for our SAN also which I would suggest to anyone over this software. The software has not been that reliable for me since we started using it. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
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. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Discontinued Products I would not purchase this again. Other software monitoring tools have been more reliable and easier to manage. Difficult to manage, if you patch the server the software is installed on and have to reboot it, IBM Tivoli Monitoring does not come up clean. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
