Ipswitch Provides 360 Degree Visibility of Critical Web Applications with Launch of AlertFox End User Monitor

Ipswitch, Inc.’s Network Management Division, developer of the WhatsUp Gold suite of innovative IT management solutions, today announced the launch of AlertFox End User Monitor (EUM). The enhanced solution can monitor externally-facing websites, business-critical applications inside the firewall and those within corporate data centers or in the cloud. This release marks the first extension to the AlertFox family of products to be developed by Ipswitch Network Management Division since its acquisition of iOpus Software in April.

AlertFox EUM provides synthetic web transaction monitoring capabilities from an end user perspective. With AlertFox EUM, companies can understand and report on the health, availability, security and performance of all of their web applications from a single dashboard. In addition to polling from the several different international locations available in the standard version of AlertFox, AlertFox EUM introduces custom monitoring locations from inside the firewall on a VM through the EUM Poller application.

“It is critical for both our business and our customers that our SaaS application for thousands of customers' is up and running optimally 24 hours a day,” explains David Gallant, Spec-Ops, HubSpot. “We are able to save time, money, and stress knowing that AlertFox EUM is keeping watch on our critical applications. It only took a few minutes to have AlertFox up and monitoring our key infrastructure assets, ensuring that our customers’ experience is smooth.”

AlertFox EUM ensures that employees can continue to work with mission-critical applications like SalesForce and Oracle CRM; and customers can continue to enjoy the use of features such as shopping carts and customer chat capabilities while doing business on-line.
