Cons
"An online app or download would be useful for the next release, possibly even a phone app that I could use to view my dashboard when I am stationed remotely."

More Dotcom-Monitor MetricsView Monitoring Cons →

"Pricing is too high relative to how many devices we use. The price list is not linear to number of devices.""We can never achieve or get a good picture of the network topology.""The new release cadence needs to be improved. It takes a while for them to add new features and functionality. There should be a quicker turnaround with new versions.""Adding on services increases the cost and on the version we have there is no option for ATM monitoring.""The technical support does not bother to respond.""Users want SMS available via Whatsapp Gold. They don't want to go through third party SMS servers. The solution should work to make this possible.""WhatsUp Gold should work on real-time monitoring and configuration management. If they succeed in doing this, the solution will cover all the network troubleshooting aspects and will be a benefit.""I might like to see a better interface in the future."

    Top Answer:The solution effectively monitors network devices and servers.
    Top Answer:I cannot provide a price rating because we purchased a one-time perpetual license. It's all ours, and we're still enjoying it. We renewed support until last year, but we didn't get benefits from it.
    Top Answer:There is room for improvement in server management and application monitoring. An additional feature I would like to see in the next release would be more detailed application monitoring capabilities.
