Great web monitor
We monitor several internal and external web sites and generate alerts when sites are slow or down. We monitor a number of public sites to measure general Internet performance and availability at our primary location.
- Very detailed step performance monitoring.
- Easy-to-use graphs and charts.
- The recorder is clunky and must be run on a local machine.
- It does not support frames.

- We can be proactive in addressing down sites or slow links. Not easily measured with ROI but keeps our users happy.
- We can use historical access and performance data to justify (or not) using on-premise vs cloud services.
- Nagios
While free, Nagios was limited and hard to use on a Red Hat platform where we don't have the skillset.

Solarwinds WPM-Simple web app monitoring
We use WPM for web application monitoring and alerting across multiple departments. It has permitted us to proactively monitor and alert on critical web apps 24*7 where we used to have to just wait for users and customers to alert us of issues. This combined with details of what steps have problems gives us critical information to get the problem resolved sooner.
- Since WPM builds on Orion its alerting capabilities are very good. We've always been able to generate alerts parameters to meet user needs.
- WPM's web app monitoring capabilities were exactly what we needed. We've been able to write detailed transactions to monitor very specific app functions.
- Occasionally we run into issues with sites that use cookies. We'd like to see improvement in handling these.
- We sometimes struggle with sites that open new browser tabs.
- WPM alerting has permitted us to get faster alerts of issues with critical web apps such as online banking. Faster alerting means we can resolve issues sooner and increase uptime.
At the time we purchased WPM we were not aware of alternatives and therefore did not compare them.

Web Performance Monitor - a nice testing option
Web Performance Monitor is used within our organization to test our web applications via workflow. It allows us a real view into each step of the transaction by producing print screens and error alerting. Web Performance Monitor is only managed by the IT organization and creates monitors at the request of engineering.
- 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.
- The creation of tests can take some time as you are recording actions taken on web sites.
- Ability to edit already created tests typically results in deleting steps and recreating
- Require to create multiple iterations of similar tests in order to test individual app servers behind a load balancer
- 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.
