Network Management Product of the Year

Winner: up.time 5

One judge said, up.time continues to set the pace when it comes to management performance. It was up against some slick and very effective competitors in this year’s competition, yet it held sway. What is particularly effective is the virtualisation management, an Achilles’ Heel for many competing product, yet one that up.time has taken in its stride.

An old favourite with Techworld, Up.time 5 builds on the fine work in previous versions. This has now been recognised by other consultancies: Gartner, The 451 Group, IDC, and others, are increasing the company’s recognition as an alternative for IT performance management. Our sister title, CIO Magazine, rhapsodised its use at Mount Sinai hospital. “Mount Sinai Hospital uses uptime to monitor its own service levels, verify the SLA data that its data-center management service provides, and to help with capacity planning and migration on a virtualization project that includes both Hyper-V and VMware-based servers as well as a range of Unix servers and specialised applications.”

What the judges said:
“Up.time proves that it has what it takes, time and time again. It’s constantly refreshing the product and even though there is plenty of competition out there, it really is the network management tool that an IT manager would need.”

“I’ve used up.time and it’s better than the key competitors.”
