HostMonitor 6.10 vs SiteScope 8.x

Alex · Post by **Alex** » Wed Aug 23, 2006 3:44 pm

I am trying to evaluate HostMonitor vs SiteScope from the functionality perspective. If anyone has an experience with both products I'd appreciate if you'd post your pros and cons for each of them in this topic. What HostMonitor can do and SiteScope can not, and vice versa? What tasks related to monitoring are easier to perform with HostMonitor vs SiteScope, and vice versa? Etc, etc...

Thanks,
Alex.

PS. I myself like HostMonitor a lot but I have to prove that it's better than SiteScope to my boss.

Also I should mention about powerful scripting engine - HMS scripts, User defined macro variables, and set of test related variables, like %httppage%, etc.
