InformationWeek: up.time Monitors UNIX, VMware and all Physical, Virtual Assets

"up.time 5... [is] aimed at making the VMware's ESX Server environments more manageable. In addition to monitoring Windows and Linux on x86 servers, up.time 5 can also see servers running Sun's Solaris 10, IBM's AIX, HP's HPUX, the former SGI's Irix and the former Compaq Unix, Tru 64, now owned by HP. The Toronto firm's Web site claims its per-server, rather than per-CPU pricing makes it a less expensive approach to systems management than other virtualization vendors." Charles Babcock, InformationWeek.  >> For the Full review, please visit here.

UnixReview.com: What an impressive product this is...

"There is something to be said for boastfulness. It is fun to read a caution on the uptime software web site that says, 'up.time installs in minutes and works exactly as advertised.' It is even more refreshing to find that there is really something to back it up. I hesitate to use the expression 'best browser-based monitoring software' because those things are always bandied about in reviews to the point where they lose significance, but in this case that has to be said. I hope the following sections will do some justice to what an impressive product this is." - Emmett Dulaney, UnixReview.com.

When it comes to server monitoring, up.time is "frankly, superb"- Techworld

"An excellent tool for monitoring just about any server platform you care to mention. up.time is, frankly, superb. Ridiculously easy to use, vast range of platforms supported, and addresses all the monitoring, reporting and alerting needs of the system manager. Buying advice: If you want a piece of software to monitor your servers and the services they run, don't bother looking at any alternatives: buy this one." - David Cartwright, TechWorld.

SunHelp: "up.time is a Set It and Forget It Monitoring Tool"

"A couple of years ago, I finally decided to look at commercial offerings again (despite a bad experience with HP OpenView) and had the opportunity to use up.time. Once I set it up to monitor my systems, I didn’t have to deal with it. To quote a late-night infomercial, 'set it and forget it!' I’m glad to report that the 'configure it, forget about it' ease of use remains in the new release, and if anything, is easier to use." - Bill Bradford, SunHelp.
