Monitis Launches Public Reporting and Widgets

Monitis customers can demonstrate their site stability and availability to public.

Press Release

San Jose 22 May, 2009 -   Monitis Inc., a leading provider of affordable easy-to-use enterprise-class systems management software as a service, today announced a release of public reporting and widgets.  These features will allow Monitis service users to make their website’s uptime statistics publicly available.

Monitis provides many methods for viewing performance information and now added the ability to “open” performance reports on one or several of customer resources to public. The new features that enable these abilities are “public reports” and “public widgets”. Both of these features exist in Monitis free service and are requested by users and they are also of premium Monitis service. “Public reports” and “public widgets” provide the user with ways to show performance data publicly while lending credibility to a website.  Ideal for customers, these features help to prove how well a website performs.

Users can build their branded public reports. Monitis provides dedicated URLs to view these reports with or without password protection. The users will have the option to select the specific sites to be reported with these options: interval (weekly, daily, monthly), specific month, last month, or the current month. Monitis users are the creators of public reports, which they may choose to make available to all website visitors at their discretion.  Each report will be constantly updated, and will have a permanent URL.  Customers can use these reports to make it clear to visitors that their website is available at any time and to demonstrate how well their website performs. These reports may be used both by site owners and service providers.

Public widgets perform the similar function but right on customer’s website. As the public reports, users may decide which metrics they wish to display and which URLs they want to be tracked.  Monitis allows users to select fonts and text colors that match the rest of their pages for the HTML code which they may embed onto their pages.  Each Widget is updated to display over the past week or month, the performance and uptime. Widgets can objectively demonstrate the stability of the web page that shows how well the site has been doing recently. Stability is a major component of image, therefore, stability of operation and accessibility of your website is a part of your company. Monitis helps to strengthen its image and to do so recognizable to the public.

“With Monitis, our customers can let their web visitors know that the smooth and continuous functioning of their website is important to them.” said Hovhannes Avoyan, CEO of Monitis. “Monitis not only   helps you reach that goal, but also helps you demonstrate it to others.”

December 18, 2008, San Jose – Monitis introduces a smarter approach to website and IT monitoring. Monitis Inc., a leading provider of end-to-end IT monitoring solutions, today announced the availability of new line of “on-demand” monitoring services that enable organizations to choose only the monitoring services that they need.  Each service, such as the Monitis SNMP monitoring service, is available for free in its basic form, with pay-based premium options.

Unlike traditional monitoring services, which usually require customers to purchase packages that monitor multiple systems, whether or not they are implemented, Monitis’ on-demand monitoring services enable customers to fully customize which services they need.  Customers can incrementally add new monitoring services as they bring new systems online.

“With our on-demand approach, customer chooses just what he needs and nothing more,” explained Hovhannes Avoyan, CEO of Monitis.  “For example, a customer might need website traffic and email monitoring for now, but as they grow, they will need server and desktop monitoring to make sure their operations remain reliable and on-line.  This approach grows as our customers grow, so we provide instant pain relief for immediate issues.”

The free services will provide unlimited number of monitors although the monitoring interval options will be limited while premium services can provide up to 1 min. monitoring intervals. The free version features will be enough for basic usage by individuals and small businesses, while premium option will be available for professional usage.

Current monitoring services available include newly launched SNMP monitoring at www.monitorsnmp.com, and almost 3 years old free web monitoring http://mon.itor.us, and 2 years old premium web monitoring www.monitis.com.

Monitis, a leading provider of end-to-end IT monitoring services, announces holiday season promotional campaign. The offer includes up to 30% yearly subscription discounts and free domain names.

Monday, December 15 – San Jose – Today Monitis starts its traditional holiday promotional campaign. From Dec. 15 to Jan 15 for each purchase over $120 via recently launched Custom Plan Builder, the customer will receive a 50% discount.

Monitis provides tailor made plans for system health monitoring, external uptime and availability monitoring, performance and problem root case analysis tools, helping to reduce downtime and cost of operations.

Monitis provides end-to-end monitoring Software as a Service (SaaS), connecting together the end-user experience and system health views.  In contrast to common “silo” monitoring, this holistic approach focuses on business services management and enables quick discovering and tracing of end-user problem up to its root cause. Till now Monitis services were “wrapped” into standard plans, and specific customer requirements were handled through direct communication with the support team. Monitis changed that today by releasing the Custom Plan Builder, which helps the users to define the type and the quantity of monitors, number of SMS alerts and number of sub-accounts they need. The Builder calculates monthly and yearly prices and customer can instantly subscribe using Paypal or credit card.    

Monitis Custom Plan Builder allows differentiating the needs per each user group like webmasters, system and network administrators, enterprise IT specialists and  managers, helpdesks, ISPs, MSPs and VARs. Customers can now make their own customized plan by defining amount of monitors per each of 4 types of monitors such as 1) external end-user view monitors, 2) internal network/system health monitors, 3) multi-step applications or transaction monitors, and 4) traffic monitors/web analytics. Customizable dashboards bring “silo” monitors into comprehensive business views.

“Our goal is to make Monitis truly on-demand and highly customizable service” says Hovhannes Avoyan, CEO and Founder, “We enabled our users to control their views, alerting rules, set 3^rd party access and flexibly configure the  monitors. And now users can build their own customized plans and pay only for the services they really use.” Users may sign up to 15 days free trial to test the service before subscribing.
