Who are these Checklists and Calculators for?

These Systems Monitoring and Management evaluation tools are designed to help IT Managers and Administrators as they search for the right ITSM solution. We noticed that many of our customers had to create similar checklists and calculators from scratch. Rather than start from a blank sheet of paper, these tools can be a starting point for your Systems Monitoring software evaluation. Update, expand and customize them depending on your exact requirements. You are welcome to edit and modify each of the items as you see fit. We hope you find it useful and if you have questions, you can contact us at info@uptimesoftware.com.
