Easy Server Monitoring? Techworld thinks up.time 4 is 'superb'
uptime software is on the cutting edge of server monitoring, capacity planning, server virtualization and server consolidation, and SLA reporting. uptime software has been making waves since 2000 with its wildly successful IT performance, availability and capacity management solution, called 'up.time.'
Toronto, Canada, March 30, 2007 - One of the problems with technology today is that every product out there claims it’s easy to use, has a lower total cost of ownership, and will helps IT departments do a job better. The painful truth is that most of this is nothing short of marketing 'puffery.' Marketing what? In one word, lies.
When it comes to server monitoring, capacity planning, IT systems monitoring, SLA reporting, application monitoring and IT services monitoring, this is clearly the case. So, how can one to find products that walk the talk? Look for credible, third party reviews. Not the 'paid for' or 'advertorial' reviews but the real ones.
David Cartwright of Techworld writes, "up.time 4 is a cross-platform, client-server server monitoring product. The vendor, uptime software, labels it as: 'Enterprise monitoring and planning software that just works,' so we decided to see if its claim was true."
The answer maybe nothing short of surprising, given the empty promises of many vendors out there. Cartwright explains his findings, "up.time is, frankly, superb. It's exactly what a network manager wants, it has a vast set of capabilities, and yet even a relative beginner could use it."
up.time is, frankly, superb. It's exactly what a network manager wants, it has a vast set of capabilities, and yet even a relative beginner could use it.
In conclusion, Cartwright writes:
