Features
and monitoring tests
The solutions currently available in the field of web monitoring are provided with recurrent features named "core functions", which are included in HTTPCS Monitoring & Internet Vista solutions, such as:
Internet Vista performs its tests based on 12 different checkpoints and, just like the best tools on the market, it has a 60 seconds frequency check. It should also be noted that it can either test application or servers.
As for the depth of the test, the Internet Vista solution can run tests based on complex web scenarios (evidence tracking) which are going further than a simple ping service provided by other solutions.
HTTPCS, thanks to its exclusive “Virtual Browser” technology, provides a very simple tool to record monitoring scenarios (transaction monitoring tool) with no technical skill required. The scenarios are automatically replayed every 15 minutes by a real browser, and are manually re-playable at any time.
Therefore, HTTPCS has a real technological advantage over Internet Vista that also provides a monitoring scenario feature but which requires a tedious and difficult programming of each step.
Monitoring by HTTPCS also checks websites and web applications every minutes (customizable). Unlike its competitors who own 12 checkpoints, HTTPCS Monitoring tests are performed from 50 checkpoints all over the world. The HTTPCS solution is also efficient on web applications, along with servers in order to detect incidents and runs on complex scenarios.
The main asset of the HTTPCS Monitoring tool, unlike Internet Vista, is that it enables an unlimited number of users on a same account. This feature lets the large teams easily work together without having to pay an additional subscription fee.
Regarding data storage, which is useful for exports and comparisons, there is a significant gap between the two solutions:

Alerts are important in a monitoring process because they notify people at the right moment.
The current monitoring tools are no longer restricted to email alerts. They have a range of means to contact the user, from texts to integrations.

With Monitoring by HTTPCS, alerts can be sent by text, email and gateways with other tools like Slack are now available.
