"The simplicity of Ipswitch's WhatsUp Gold impressed us the most. The product provides a simple, straightforward interface for monitoring servers as well as network devices.

"Ipswitch, a maker of FTP and e-mail software, also makes a network monitoring tool called WhatsUp. That software is now being integrated with Wavelink's Mobile Manager, which is used to manage wireless infrastructures -- it's a recommended product by companies like Proxim. As of today, Mobile Manager will replay wireless performance data to WhatsUp, but the two companies pledge to continue working on integration throughout the year. "

"Ipswitch has added high-availability functionality to WhatsUp Gold, its affordable and functional network and systems monitoring suite. This is a huge benefit for the thousands of networks that rely on the deep alerting and monitoring functionality the product provides. It's also another reason not to invest in a big, expensive network-management application. The new WhatsUp Gold Failover Package includes an additional copy of WhatsUp Gold."
